Carnival Splendor Fire off Coast of Mexico: Ship Stranded

The Carnival Splendor is now slowly making its way to Ensenada, where it will dock at some time on November 11.

The Coast Guard cutter Morgenthau, a high-endurance cutter based out of Alameda, is shadowing the 952-foot Splendor on the voyage for safety. The fire knocked out the air conditioning, telephone and hot food service for the more than 4,000 passengers and crew members.
