The people towing the SS Independence are having problems. Hawaii refused
them entry and now it looks like Guam is looking to do the same thing.

It doesn't say much for the city of San Francisco where the ship was
"mothballed" for years to have it now refused by Guam.

And what? Is Hawaii mad at NCL for some reason that they wouldn't
allow the ship - which sailed around the Hawaiian islands for America
Hawaii Cruises for over a decade - to stop there just long enough to
get fuel & provisions?

Hi Paul,

She is not loaded with passengers that will spend millions of dollars.
When she had passengers, they were glad to have her for over a decade.

Best regards,

"We welcome Americans and your dollars"

Well, at least that's what the sign used to say. Now it says

"We welcome Europeans and your euros"
