NTSB probes engine fire that disabled Carnival Splendor
The NTSB announced an investigation into the Panamanian flag ship Splendor engine room fire that forced the Carnival cruise liner to San Diego Bay. With 3,299 passengers and 1,167 crew, most guests have disembarked and repairs could send the ship back to Long Beach by Monday. Carnival offered refunds and a 25 percent discount on a future cruise as the next voyage was canceled.
