He said his sister is tough and he guesses she's probably not scared. Others on the ship do not seem to be handling the situation so well. Elderly and disabled passengers aboard the ship are struggling to cope with the worsening conditions, according to at least one passenger. It was the first time since a fire erupted in Triumph's engine room Sunday, knocking out its four engines, that a company representative had spoken publicly.

The Triumph, with roughly 4, people on board, was left bobbing like a ,ton cork for more than 24 hours. Giant sea-faring tugboats then hooked up to the ship and began towing the nearly foot-long ship to land.

Some power had been restored to the ship's Lido buffet, allowing for hot coffee and limited hot food service. Power also has been restored to a limited number of elevators on the ship, making it easier for passengers to move around the vessel. None of the 3, passengers and 1, crew on board the Carnival Triumph were injured during the fire, but on Monday a passenger in need of dialysis was transferred off the ship to another Carnival vessel, the Carnival Legend, for transport to Cozumel, Mexico.

Arriving Monday afternoon, the Legend also provided meals for passengers on the Triumph. The U. Coast Guard cutter Vigorous also is on the scene. At the time of the fire, the Carnival Triumph was near the end of a four-night cruise to Mexico out of Galveston, Texas that began on Thursday. The ship had been scheduled to return to Galveston early Monday.

Carnival says it is arranging to get passengers back home from Mobile after the ship arrives on Thursday. The fire also could take a toll on future bookings for the line, although industry watchers say it's too soon to know for sure. While the incident comes at the height of the busiest time of the year for cruise bookings, a period known as Wave Season, travel agents on Monday weren't bracing for a downturn in business, in part because the story has yet to get major play in the media, says Mike Driscoll of Cruiseweek, an industry newsletter.
