I was on the EWR-NCL last night (Monday).
Turned up at check in to find they were overbooked and looking for volunteers to go via AMS in exchange for an $800 travel voucher, which I accepted.
I met some NCL pax on the AMS flight. It turns out they had been on the canceled flight on Sunday. Hydraulic failure 20 minutes out of EWR and return for emergency landing. (That was the second plane they'd been on after the first went tech)

As it turns out, the AMS light went tech too after 5 hours sitting on the tarmac! Currently in the Ramada at Newark airport, trying again tonight!
There are rumours going around here about a maintenance strike or go slow at United.
