Triumph
On February 7, 2013, Carnival’s Triumph left the port of Galveston in what was anticipated to be a relaxing four-day cruise to the Caribbean. However, this winter getaway quickly turned into a living nightmare for Triumph’s 3,142 passengers when the 14-story, 900 foot ship lost power following an engine fire 150 miles off the Yucatan Peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico.
