The cruise ship Song of America was forced to return to port after an engine seized up and started a small fire, but no one was hurt. A fire broke out on the Carnival Triumph in San Juan, Puerto Rico, early Sunday morning. Rick Steck, a spokesman for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line said the fire was quickly doused by crewmembers. The passengers, who had been brought on deck, were allowed to resume the evening's activities. On Tuesday, a few hours out of Cozumel, Mexico, one of its four engines seized up, touching off a fire in the engine room, said Royal Caribbean Cruise Line spokesman Rich Steck. The 705-foot ship turned around and returned to Cozumel on its remaining three engines to replenish firefighting supplies. The passengers stayed aboard, and the ship will return to Miami on Thursday or Friday.
