Many of us likes traveling, whether on land, on air, or by means of a cruise ship. Not all of us get to enjoy traveling. But for those who gets the chance, they always pray that nothing bad will happen. That their journey will be safe. A fire within the Carnival Wonders engine room set the vessel adrift Monday about 55 miles west of Baja, CA.
