Norwegian Cruise Line confirmed on Saturday that New York City has approached the company inquiring about using a cruise ship to house an influx of illegal immigrants to the city but said no deal has yet been reached.
The New York Post reported this week that Adams was finalizing a deal with the cruise line to house the influx of migrants for six months so they can be processed before being housed by the city’s shelter system.
The report estimated that 15,500 illegal immigrants have poured into the nation’s largest city since May as illegal immigration at the border continues at a record pace with over 2 million migrant encounters by Customs and Border Protection this fiscal year.
The plan to house migrants on the cruise ship is reportedly a cheaper option than the multiple tent cities Adams has erected to handle the surge.
"We're not going to leave any stone unturned. And once we finalize our plans, we're going to announce it," Adams said earlier this week about the cruise ship idea. "We're not, it's not going to be any surprise is once we finalize how we're going to continue to live up to our legal and moral obligation, we're going to announce."

KISS that ship goodbye.
It will be damaged beyond repair with such tenants.
Now there is a stupid idea.
Cool. Sail those ships back to Central America and drop ‘em off.
A bad idea. No winners except for the elite.
Just deport them is the best solution.
Will the hubcaps be the first things to go?
I would never use that cruise line again if they do that. They can move that f-boat to Mexico and house them there.
Escape is very difficult from a floating jail
I think the cruise company is already suffering with fewer tourists showing up....any cash flow would be helpful. I’m sure the cruise company has a insurance policy to cover damages, and the city probably is paying 90-percent of that cost.
This will be the path forward, until some day in 2024....the vessel catches on fire, and sinks at the pier.
They’re not migrants and this country has no obligation to do anything for them except send them back where they came from.
A bad idea.
On the other hand, someone could start a fire in a cabin while barbecuing and we’d have a ‘national tragedy’ on our hands.

Maybe Chinese owned food processing plants?
Dear Norwegian Cruise Lines, don’t be idiots. That ship will get trashed.
Good! Maybe they’ll take them to Norway

Gee, I wonder if they will still have the Midnight Buffet and a Mariachi band on the Lido Deck? Maybe some shuffle board?
