All passengers now off disabled cruise ship
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The first buses carrying passengers from a disabled cruise ship are pulling away to take them to next stop on their odyssey.
The cruise ship terminal in Mobile, Ala., was raucous late Thursday as passengers streamed off the Triumph.
What was supposed to be a pampered voyage changed for the worse when an engine fire Sunday knocked out primary power to the ship.
After, the trip was marked by overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
Carnival said passengers have the option of a seven-hour bus ride to the Texas cities of Galveston or Houston or a two-hour trip to New Orleans. Some also can stay in Mobile.
All passengers had disembarked by 1:00 a.m. Central Time.
The Associate Press posted video of interviews with some of the passengers as they left the ship.
