Carnival Splendor Update - Tugboats Arrive on Scene Earlier this week, the Carnival Cruise Line's Splendor, caught fire, leaving 4,500 passengers plus crew stranded off the coast of Mexico. The head of Carnival Cruise Lines commented that the engine fire that cut power on the disabled cruise ship was the worst accident in his company's 35-year history.

Although no one was hurt, the fire left the ship without electricity, air conditioning, hot water or Internet service. In addition, most telephone service was cut off.

The voyage could take at least until late Thursday, assuming good weather.
