From AOL Travel News we learn that the Carnival Splendor cruise ship, which is currently hosting David Sandy's Magic Cruise 2010, is in limbo about 150 miles south of San Diego after a fire in the engine room. Other than two passengers suffering from panic attacs, no injuries are reported.
According to the report:
The US Coast Guard is sending two ships to the scene, Petty Officer Henry Dunphy tells AOL Travel News. The location is about 55 miles west of Punta San Jacinto, Mexico.
"The fire has been extinguished however there continues to be smoke in the area and the ship's fire crews remain on the scene," Carnival Cruise Lines says in a statement.
Currently the ship is operating on emergency generators, while the crew tries to re-start one of the main generators in the forward engine room, Carnival says.
In an updated statement, Carnical says that the decision has been made to terminate the voyage.
