Greeters banned at Kaua'i harbor


"NAWILIWILI, Kaua'i — Cruise ship visitors to Kaua'i this year won't get the greeting they may be used to.

After decades of meeting cruise ship tourists, Hawai'i officials banned greeters who work for private tour companies or even free shuttles from harbor property effective Jan. 1.

'What they're taking away is the aloha spirit,' said Ephraim Kaleiohi, owner of Aloha Discovery Island Tours."
