A CRUISE ship packed with 4200 travellers is adrift in the Gulf of Mexico for a third day, waiting to be towed into the US port of Mobile, Alabama, a company spokesman says.

None of the 3143 passengers and 1086 crew aboard the 272-metre Carnival Triumph was injured in the fire that crippled the vessel on Sunday.

It is due to be taken into port in Mobile on Thursday instead of Progreso, Mexico, Vance Gulliksen, a spokesman for Carnival Cruise Lines, told AFP.

"We have been told that there is running water in the cabins, albeit cold water, so guests are able to shower. Some toilets are operational in the public areas and some cabins," the spokesman said.

"There was a period last night that the toilets were down but technicians were able to get some of them back on line this morning," he said.

Passengers are able to dine in the poolside restaurant, he added.

"We're in constant contact with the ship and have been told that overall mood with guests is good under the circumstances and guests are making the most of the situation," Gulliksen said.

The company had said earlier that passengers will receive a full refund and transportation expenses.
