A gruelling three-day journey on board the crippled Carnival Splendor ended on Thursday, after the nearly 4,500 passengers and crew members reached dry land. As the ship docked on Thursday, people who had gathered on the decks and about 100 waiting onshore cheered loudly. Along the harbor, tourists, joggers and fishermen stopped to snap photos. An engine fire aboard the 952-foot cruise liner on Monday morning knocked out power early in its seven-day trip to the Mexican Riviera, setting the ship adrift about 200 miles outside San Diego and 44 miles off the coast of Mexico.<br />RT on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RTnews<br />RT on Twitter: http://twitter.com/RT_com
