The Ovation of the Seas cruise ship is set to make its first visit to Honolulu Harbor on Thursday.

The cruise ship could cause some traffic on Nimitz Highway and Ala Moana Boulevard.

About 5,000 passengers are expected to leave the ship between 6:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

The Department of Transportation Harbors Division will be helping out, but traffic is still expected to be heavy.

The 5,000 passengers is double of what Honolulu Harbor typically sees from other cruise ships.
