Press release from NCL
MIAMI, February 15, 2005– Last week the first of 67 keel blocks for NCL America’s 93,000-ton Pride of Hawai`i was laid at the Meyer Werft ship yard in Papenburg, Germany. Han Lim, son of NCL Corporation Chairman K.T. Lim, ceremoniously laid the traditional “lucky penny†before the block was lowered down by the yard’s 800-ton crane. It is said to bring the ship good luck if the penny is recovered once the keel is completed and the ship is floated in the dry dock.
Pride of Hawai`i is scheduled for delivery in the Spring of 2006 and will sail under the NCL America brand in Hawai`i.

Aloha!
