(CNN) — A U.S. Navy aircraft carrier was scheduled to rendezvous Tuesday afternoon with a stranded cruise ship off the coast of Mexico, according to a Navy spokesman.
The USS Ronald Reagan was receiving 10,000 pounds of food and supplies by airlift for the cruise ship Carnival Spendor, with its nearly 3,300 passengers and nearly 1,200 crew members, Cmdr. Greg Hicks, spokesman of the U.S. Third Fleet, said. Those provisions were made available by Carnival Cruise Lines, he said.
The Carnival Splendor remained stranded some 130 miles west of Ensenada, Mexico, Tuesday, a day after it lost power following an engine room fire, Carnival Cruise Lines said in a statement.
