The 3,299 passengers and 1,167 crew members were not hurt and the fire
was put out, but the 952-foot ship had no air conditioning, hot water or
telephone service. Auxiliary power allowed toilets and cold running
water to be restored Monday night.

The Mexican Riviera-bound ship, which was drifting about 55 miles off
the northern Baja California coast, was in contact with the U.S. Coast
Guard, which deployed aircraft and ships along with the U.S. Navy and
Mexican Navy.

I'll bet the tow charge is a little more than upgrading to a premium
balcony suite for a 5day, 4 night cruise.

And, "Mexican Navy"? Really? I guess it's a little chilly to be
doing parasailing runs. :-

And the Mexican Riviera? I found that kind of humorous also.
