Pride of Hawaii near Molokai

firstmate — Fri, 08 Aug 2014 00:17:57 +0000

Pride of Hawaii has changed its name and it is now Norwegian Jade. In 2006 when this ship was built it comprised the third in a series of U.S. flagged ships operated by NCL America for the Hawaii market. At a cost of over half a billion U.S. dollars, the Pride of Hawaii was the largest and most expensive U.S. flagged passenger ship ever built.

On 10th of August we reached the first European port Aghios Nikolaos, in Crete and it is
a delightful destination after all those days at sea. This port requires tendering again.
We have not been on land since we have left Maldives and that was ten days ago.
