Norwegian Cruise Line, reacting to Hurricane Ignacio churning
across the Pacific, altered the itinerary of its Pride of America
ship.
The seven-night Hawaii cruise
that departed Aug. 29 was rescheduled to call in Nawiliwili
on Sunday. The ship planned to overnight there and then
visit Hilo on Wednesday, and Kahului on Thursday for another overnight before
returning to Honolulu on Saturday.
Ignacio is a
powerful Category 3 storm but is expected to weaken and pass north of the
Hawaiian Islands on Monday night.
A tropical storm watch has been discontinued for the Big
Island and Maui County.
