Carnival cruise ship adrift with 4,000 people on board 150 miles off Mexico The Carnival Triumph, a cruise ship owned by Carnival Corp under its Carnival Cruise Lines brand, was without propulsion and was operating on emergency generator power, a statement from the company said. The engine room fire, which took place in the morning, had been extinguished and none of the 3,143 guests nor 1,086 crew were injured. Lavatories on board the ship were temporarily out of use after the fire. A tugboat was on its way to drag the vessel to the Mexican port of Progreso, where it was expected to arrive on Wednesday afternoon, Carnival said. "Another Carnival ship, the Carnival Elation, is currently on scene and transferring additional food and beverage provisions to the Carnival Triumph," the statement said. The Carnival Triumph set sail from Galveston, Texas, on Thursday, and was due back yesterday. Carnival said all passengers would receive a refund and "cruise credit equal to the amount paid for this voyage." The ship's next two voyages, scheduled for departure next week, were cancelled, the company added.
