We just learned that our April 2024 trip on HAL that included Santa Barbara and Monterey as ports of call has been altered to remove those stops. I can find information about the decision by Monterey city council, but I can't seem to find information on why Santa Barbara was also removed. We were looking forward to both visiting the Monterey Aquarium and going whale watching in Santa Barbara, but I guess that isn't going to happen on this trip!
