Passengers describe harsh conditions on Carnival ship

Technicians on the Carnival Triumph have been able to restore some power to the ship's Lido buffet, allowing for hot coffee and limited hot food service, Carnival says in a new statement. Power also has been restored to a limited number of elevators on the ship, making it easier for passengers to move around the vessel. As of late morning, public and cabin toilets are working in some areas of the ship, the line adds.

Carnival also says the Carnival Triumph has enough supplies on hand to last until it can be towed to port. The line says passengers will be flown home from Mexico on chartered aircraft that is in the process of being arranged.
