What was the nature of the problem the ship experienced?
The ship had a fire in the engine room, cutting of all electricity. Something called a crankcase split open, causing the fire.
What repairs were required?
They had to repair the engine. They also had to fix all the fire damage.
What impact did the unexpected arrival of the cruise ship have on the local economy?
The ship hurt Long Beach's economy. Carnival cruise lines spend about $45 million in Long Beach every year. Because the ship will not be sailing, the company will not be spending as much money.
Did you figure our why the ship had to sail to San Francisco to finish repairs? This is a good mystery since San Diego has the best boatyards on the west coast.
