🚨⚠️ ATTENTION SUB BALL ATTENDEES – IMPORTANT ACCESS UPDATE ⚠️🚨

Due to the heavy rain, the **main escalators from the mall area of Hilton Hawaiian Village leading up to the Coral Ballroom are unfortunately OUT OF SERVICE for the entire weekend.

💥 BUT DON’T WORRY — WE’VE GOT A WAY UP! 💥

➡️ To access the Coral Ballroom, please use:
👉 Kalia Tower Elevators → 2nd Floor

Let’s keep things moving smoothly and help each other out getting where we need to go!

🌧️⚓ INCLEMENT WEATHER? THAT’S CUTE. ⚓🌧️

Let’s get one thing straight… bad weather has NEVER stopped a submariner—and it sure as hell isn’t starting now.

We’ve been getting a lot of questions coming in, so here’s your answer loud and clear:

🔥 THE SUB BALL IS 1000% STILL ON — ON TIME — NO CHANGES. 🔥

Rain, wind, whatever Mother Nature throws at us… we operate below the surface for a reason. This is just another day at the office.

💥 It’s going to be an AMAZING night
💥 The energy will be unmatched
💥 The tradition continues—no matter what

We can’t wait to see everyone there ready to celebrate, represent, and have a hell of a time.

⚠️ Drive safe, plan ahead, and look out for your shipmates. ⚠️

⚓ Submariners don’t cancel. We adapt and overcome. See you at the Ball. ⚓
