STATEMENT BY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG REGARDING REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION

“This evening I spoke to Colin Veitch, the President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), and he informed me that NCL had determined that it would not be commercially viable to use the Norwegian Dawn as part of the Republican National Convention.  He also invited me to attend the maiden call of the Pride of America, the first US-flagged cruise ship built in fifty years, when it comes to New York City next spring.  I assured him I would be there and New York would welcome the Pride of America with open arms.”
