24 People from Boat rescued by Cruise ship off Florida coast

A Carnival Cruise Line transport safeguarded two dozen individuals, including two kids, from a sinking pontoon 37 miles (around 60 kilometers) off the Florida coast, the journey line announced Saturday.

It was not quickly clear why the more modest vessel went under trouble, yet its travelers were accepted the Carnival Sensation when the pontoon began leaking water. They were given life coats, food, water and covers.

The Miami Herald said the travelers were later moved to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The voyage transport was in global waters 37 miles off the bank of Palm Beach when it happened upon the striving pontoon, whose travelers were of different ethnicities, journey line authorities said. They were assessed and isolated from the team.
