As long as cabins afford direct sunlight, accommodations aboard a luxury ship seem to meet the minimum legal requirements. And nobody could unfavorably compare cruise accommodations to a city shelter.

In the city where the Statue of Liberty once welcomed shiploads of immigrants,has suggested using empty ocean liners to shelter the modern day homeless, the tempest-tossed refugees who arrive by bus.

At one point last year, the city had exploratory talks with the Norwegian Cruise Line. But a company spokesperson told The Daily Beast this week that the company is “not engaged in discussions with New York City about a potential charter of a cruise vessel.” The arrangement with the Ambition will end along with the lease in March. But the Victoria is expected to continue providing shelter for another five months, perhaps longer.

“Seems to me that the city has a long-term need and [for] much more than even just one ship,” Lager said. “Long term, [it’s] probably cheaper to buy.”“It's generally as fast as the buyer wants to move,” he said.“ Actual delivery depends on where the ship is.” Among the vessels that Lager has available is a 642-foot luxury cruise ship with 485 cabins that could comfortably house 1,000 people or more. Interior rooms could serve as on-site offices for various governmental and nonprofit assistance agencies. There are dining and laundry facilities. There is also a theater such as the one where the Ukrainian refugees put on the holiday show in Scotland.

Put the migrants on cruise ships and cruise them right back to where they came from.

How about DEPORT the low life losers trashing nyc’s hotels? Send em right back to where they came from, third world shitholes. Oh wait that’s what Dems are trying to do to America.

NY is finding solutions due to the passing the buck (bus in this case) policy. Understand this NY. You don't get extra points for taking care of someone else's dealings...It happens to be our affairs...

Yes, that makes me want to go to NYC even more.

Hospital ships weren't used during COVID. Cruise ships won't be used unless leased to city and funded by feds. NY Dems incapable of solving any problem. Rats anyone?
