Passengers of a Miami-based cruise ship will be on their way home by Sunday morning, after their vessel was disabled and limped into port at San Juan.

The Norwegian Dawn, a Libra-class NCL ship left Miami on Nov. 20 and was on the last leg of its voyage back to Miami after a nine-day Southern Caribbean cruise that included stops in the Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbados and St. Kitts.

The ship lost power 95 miles off the coast of San Juan on Friday night. With no air conditioning, passengers spent the night under the stars on some of the ship's 15 decks. All ship activities were canceled.

After restoring some power, the ship used its damaged twin engine marine cyclo-converter propulsion system to reach San Juan.

Once there, several travelers -- who contacted The Miami Herald by phone Saturday morning from on board the ship -- said that guests were being transported to two chartered planes to fly them to Miami.

Said NCL spokeswoman Anne-Marie Matthews: ``Everyone will get back. We will accommodate everyone's travel arrangement. Of course, it is Thanksgiving weekend.''

By Saturday evening, most passengers knew their flight itineraries and NCL had finalized travel arrangements. Some vacationers said while the ship was still not moving, the air conditioning was working.

The cruise line gave a 75-percent refund to passengers on the cruise and 50-percent off a future cruise booked in the next year. Vacationers who chose to arrange their own travel from San Juan would still receive the refund and travel discount, but were responsible for any costs incurred. The cruise line is also offering a full refund to guests with reservations for Sunday's launch from Miami -- which has been canceled -- and a 50 percent future cruise credit, based on the fare paid.
