- Norwegian Cruise Line and PhilaPort have assured travelers there will be no delays and are finalizing plans to ensure a smooth boarding and disembarkation process, with details to be communicated within the next week.
- Travel agents and passengers express concerns about logistics and infrastructure for handling approximately 6,000 passengers, but some remain optimistic based on past experiences with temporary arrangements.
