Crippled cruise ship limps into port in Alabama
(MCT) — MOBILE, Ala. — Carnival’s crippled cruise ship Triumph limped into port Thursday night with giddy passengers lining the decks, smiling, waving and singing, “Sweet Home Alabama.”
Someone shouted, “It’s good to be home!” But their ordeal wasn’t quite over: With only one working elevator, Carnival officials warned that it could take four or five hours for everyone to disembark, although Customs and Border Patrol had cleared the ship.
