Noonoo ke komite o ka nohona Senate o ka Senate i ka bila ma ka Poakahi. Ua ʻōlelo kahi hui kālepa no ka ʻoihana holo kai i ka Pōʻalua ua kūʻē aku i ka pila.
"Kākoʻo kēlā me kēia laina holo kai i kāu hana e hoʻopaʻi i ka lawehala ma nā moku holo moana," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Larry Kaye, ka loio moana no ka Cruise Line International Assn.

Pono e kiaʻi ʻia, wahi a Simitian, i lilo ʻole ka “hilinaʻi iā mākou” i mea maʻamau no ka mālama kānāwai ma luna o nā moku holoholo.
Ua haʻi aku me ke waimaka o ke kamaʻāina ʻo Sacramento ʻo Laurie Dishman i nā luna kau kānāwai ua hoʻomake ʻia ʻo ia ma kahi moku Royal Caribbean e holo ana mai Kaleponi Hema i 2006.

"Ua ʻoki ʻia kāu hana nāu," i haʻi aku ai ʻo Romero iā Simitian. "Manaʻo wau aia kekahi ma waena waena i loaʻa iā mākou. . . . He mea nui ka ʻoihana holo kai no Kaleponi. Makemake mākou e hōʻoia i ka palekana a me ka palekana a i ka manawa like ʻaʻole e holo i kai. ”
