This Wednesday night, a Carnival cruise ship will be expected to pull into a Mexican port in Ensenada, allowing its thousands of passengers access to electricity. An engine fire had broken out on Monday.
Fortunately, none of its 3,299 passengers and 1,167 crew members were injured in putting the fire out. However, electricity, air conditioning, heated water, and phone service were down due to the fire.
The U.S. Coast Guard is in the process of bringing the immobile ship to the port in Mexico and has deployed aircrafts, ships, and alerted the U.S. and Mexican Navy.
The ship would take several days to reach Long Beach, California. For this reason, the passengers are being dropped off at the port in Mexico. Once dropped off in Ensenada, the passengers will be boarding a bus to California.
Carnival has promised a full refund for the cruise and the transportation and a future cruise of equal value.

When I saw this on the news it almost made me laugh. I loved how NBC made such a bit issue out of the incident. I mean first of all who wouldn’t love to be stuck on a cruise and in comparison with worldwide news such as the Iraq war and the trouble’s in foreign countries it is a minor issue.
