A Carnival cruise ship provided assistance on Wednesday to a stranded sailboat that was broken down in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Wednesday, December 12, Carnival Triumph responded to a request from a sailboat that was in need of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Keeping with maritime tradition and looking to provide a helpful hand, Carnival Triumph approached the vessel to assist as the sailors gleefully shouted, “Thank you, Carnival!” Captain Isidoro Renda and his team offered the sailors oil for their engine allowing them to successfully continue along their journey.
Carnival Triumph was returning from a five-day cruise to the Western Caribbean from New Orleans.
Carnival Cruise Line released the following short video the of the men on the sailboat thanking Carnival for helping them out.
