May 24, 2025 — A dream vacation turned into a terrifying ordeal when the Carnival Serenity, operated by Carnival Cruise Line, suffered a catastrophic engine failure at 3:15 a.m. today while sailing 120 miles off the coast of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
According to fictional reports from onboard passengers, the ship suddenly lost all power, leaving over 3,200 guests stranded in darkness. Emergency generators failed to engage, cutting off lighting, air conditioning, and vital communication systems. “It was absolute chaos,” said imaginary passenger Marcus Wells from Chicago. “We heard a loud grinding noise, then the entire ship went dark. People were screaming and running around in panic.”
Crew members worked frantically to stabilize the situation, but food and water supplies quickly became a concern as refrigeration systems shut down. Several passengers reportedly fainted due to heat and dehydration, though no serious injuries were confirmed.
Carnival Cruise Line issued a fictional statement expressing deep regret and confirming that the U.S. Coast Guard had dispatched rescue vessels, which arrived around 8:00 a.m. to assist. Passengers are expected to be towed back to Miami by tomorrow. Maritime investigators will be examining the cause of the mechanical failure once the Serenity docks safely.
