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."

Send them BACK south!!!
Us normal Americans can’t afford a cruise but let’s give these low life’s who broke into our country space on a cruise ship.
I would be okay if it was a garbage scow back to Mexico.
Maybe they can go on a cruise.
Back to Haiti, Honduras, and Guatemala.
And offload them.
They could take Eric Adams too.
The company won't care if it's made whole with taxpayers' money.
My very first thought. They must be getting a ton of money knowing the ship will no longer be good for tourists. I wonder if a ship has to declare a particular ship was used to house migrants if a paying tourist asks?
The supply of stupid ideas these morons have is endless.
They’ll charge NYC Cruise-line rates, then feed the homeless ramen noodles and peanuts. Then get overpaid for ship repairs. The damage to their brand will be enormous however. Carnival 2.0
Talk about a death wish.
I hope the cruise line realizes that ship will be destroyed.
Exactly what I was wondering. Let’s see, human excrement, urine smell, graffiti, fentanyl, cocaine, beer, booze, fights, stabbings, rapes, riots, arson, disease, diseases never heard of in history, no baths..............no police.............what can go wrong!
Maybe it will run into an iceberg in the wee hours.
