MOBILE, Alabama (Reuters) - The cruise ship Carnival Triumph was being towed to port in Alabama on Tuesday as passengers complained of sweltering heat and gut-wrenching odours from backed up toilets after a weekend engine fire left it adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.
The 893-foot (272-meter) vessel has been without propulsion and running on emergency generator power since Sunday when it was disabled off southern Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It was carrying 3,143 passengers and 1,086 crew. There have been no reports of injuries.
