What was supposed to be a 4-day cruise aboard the Carnival Triumph took an unexpected turn when a fire disabled the ship's engines.
With cheers from family on land and passengers on deck, a disabled cruise ship stranded at sea has docked in Mobile, AL, bringing an end to a nightmare vacation for 4,229 passengers and crew.
GALVESTON, TX (KLTV) -
The first two buses carrying passengers from the Carnival Triumph have arrived in Galveston this morning.
After days bobbing in the Gulf of Mexico aboard a damaged cruise ship, all passengers had left the Carnival Triumph by about 1 a.m. Friday, according to Carnival's official Twitter account.
The ship left from Galveston, TX, a week ago and was supposed to return on Monday.
They are expecting 800 passengers to arrive in Galveston today.
KLTV's Taylor Hemness is live on the scene where the weary passengers are filing out of the buses and will have updates for us throughout the morning and on East Texas News at Midday.
