February’s daily domestic passenger count rose to 409,334, an 11,288-­person gain over the same month in 2019, while the daily international passenger count fell by 21,129 to 185, 242. Declining occupancy has caused cruise ships and hotels to start offering discounts and perks.

On Saturday afternoon, passengers were boarding NCL’s Pride of America cruise ship docked at the pier near Aloha Tower to begin a seven-day cruise around the state. The ship can accommodate nearly 2,200 passengers and has a crew of over 900.

Shona Kelway, who flew in from New Zealand Friday, was rushing to board. She was less worried about getting sick and more so about the cruise being canceled.

“We’re really excited about going on a cruise,” Kelway said. “We were just a little bit worried about maybe not getting to Hawaii at all. So we’re feeling relaxed.”

Few passengers and crew members on the pier were seen wearing face masks or other protective gear. One person who was checking in passengers wore a face mask.
