Unionized dockworkers at ports along the East and Gulf Coasts began a strike on October 2, 2024, impacting cargo operations. However, the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) stated that its members would 'continue to work passenger cruise vessels' during the work stoppage.
ILA President Harold Daggett emphasized the union's intent to avoid inconveniencing families who plan cruise vacations well in advance. A spokesperson for the ILA confirmed that this commitment was being upheld across ports.
The Cruise Lines International Association, which includes Norwegian Cruise Line, acknowledged and appreciated the ILA’s pledge. This ensures that cruise operations at major ports like Port Everglades and Port Miami in Florida remain unaffected, preventing potential disruptions to NCLH's itineraries and revenue.
