Got me curious. This report says Honolulu doesn’t even make the top 20:

It appears Alaska will not be getting their million plus cruise ship passengers, however, due to Canada disallowing ships to stop in their ports.
I just checked my go-to tour company (Gate 1 Travel). Eastern Canada is sold out for all of this coming summer. In October one date has one seat still available. Oct. 22 is the first wide-open date, and the last date of the season. They are already booking 2022 tours.

Sold out/seats for what? What kind of tours are you looking at?

Ya know I'm just going off anecdotal information. I did realize it was skewed to a certain size city, blah blah blah. Maybe I need to give my foam finger back.

I learned many years ago when the flashing don't walk signal starts - if you aren't in the intersection you don't cross.

Not much different than Red means stop - Green means go - and Yellow does not mean go very fast.

United Airlines must think this will happen, or maybe it's just wishful thinking. But either way, they've been adding a bunch of capacity to Hawaii in recent weeks.

You know that United 777 that had an engine failure right after takeoff from Denver? It was bound for Honolulu -- and it was carrying 231 passengers. That was the first I knew that Hawaii had even reopened for tourism, much less that a lot of people were going there again.

United’s schedule systemwide is only firm thru mid-May. UA capacity to Hawaii is not at pre pandemic levels yet.

Great for Hawaiians that work in hospitality, terrible for the fish, corals, and sharks though, and overall environment.

Most Native Hawaiians don’t work in hospitality.

Yep. A win for the working class. The ocean environment will survive, though (hopefully).
