TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Another Carnival cruise ship is having problems. The Carnival Legend has canceled a stop in Grand Cayman and is headed back to the Port of Tampa after the company says a "technical issue" began affecting the ship's sailing speed.

Passengers on the Carnival Dream are being flown home because of problems with an on-board generator while docked in St. Maarten. And last month the Carnival Triumph spent five days in the in the Gulf of Mexico without power or working toilets.

HOUSTON (AP) - After days stranded in the Gulf of Mexico in conditions some have described as dismal, most passengers aboard the disabled Carnival Triumph can look forward to a two-hour bus ride after they reach land.

The company announced its plan late Wednesday as the Triumph was being towed to a port in Mobile, Ala., with more than 4,000 people on board, some of whom have complained to relatives of uncomfortable and unsanitary conditions. The company has disputed the accounts.

The Triumph is expected to arrive this afternoon, but passengers' stay will be short. Carnival says passengers can board buses to Galveston, Texas, or Houston, or spend the night in New Orleans. Those staying in New Orleans will be flown Friday to Houston. Carnival said it will cover the transportation costs.
