Carnival Splendor

A cruise ship was sailing around in Mexico and the ship endured a fire in the aft engine room that disabled its six diesel electric engines. I am not exactly sure how they are repairing the ship, but I know that they are receiving shipments of bagged fertilizer, wind energy equipment and other things that they need for the ship. The impact had a pretty big effect on the local economy for many reasons. I think the greatest one would be travel because some people are flying here to go on a cruise and since the cruise ship is cancelling so many trips, that is going to cost people a lot of money. Plus, a lot of money is going to be spent on the ship which maybe will cause a lot of taxpayers some more money.
