Could Port Say Bon Voyage to Hawaiian Cruises?
The sun would likely set on the West Coast�s Hawaii-bound cruises if a controversial federal rule governing port calls is changed. And while it would impact the state�s ports, it would hurt Southern California in particular since most Hawaiian cruises sail from San Diego or Los Angeles. The 122-year-old Passenger Vessel Services Act requires that foreign-flagged ships destined from one U.S. port to another must first stop at a foreign dock. Most of the nation�s cruise lines fly foreign flags to avoid the higher costs and restrictions
associated with sailing under the U.S. flag. Most Hawaii-bound vessels leaving San Diego dock briefly in Baja California, Mexico. The proposed change, sought by a U.S.-flagged operator of inter-island Hawaiian cruises, would mandate that all foreign-flagged Hawaii-bound ships departing California spend at least 48 hours, or a third of the trip, docked at a foreign port.

The Cruises Take Manhattan
If anyone can steal Tom Cruise's days of thunder, it's definitely daughter Suri. With her new fashion-plate 'do, all eyes were on the little tyke as she was seen heading out of a New York City hotel with her famous folks over the weekend. However, Tom will try to get the spotlight back this afternoon on Oprah Winfrey's show, when Miss O finishes the fawning she started last Friday. But alas, you-know-who is expected to make an appearance where she'll invariably take the attention away—yet again—from her pop. Especially if she starts jumping on the...well, you know. .
