Anne - NCLAmerica is a special case...authorized by Congress (Sen Inouye) as a subsidiary of NCL...must have an all-American crew...and I beleive the hulls are registered in US...thus can go from American to American ports (without going to Fanning Island), or without a run to a foreign port (such as the other lines have to do out of Seattle to Alaska or those who go from LA or San Francisco (the Jones Act). So, Regent couldn't do an all US cruise even with an all-American crew.
