While en route from Tampa to Roatan, Honduras, a Carnival cruise ship helped rescue 27 Cuban nationals who were lost at sea and signaling for help on Sunday afternoon.
The bridge team onboard Carnival Paradise spotted the vessel that the Cubans were in and turned the ship around to rescue them. They were taken aboard, given food, and attended to the medical team.
The U.S. Coast Guard Sector Key West and Roatan officials were notified of the rescue.
Carnival Paradise is scheduled to arrive in Honduras on Monday.
When debris from a tractor struck their vehicle on I-75, Denise and Mike Brennan were told by a state contractor that "they will take care of it." Now, more than six months later, the Brennans are still $7000 out-of-pocket for repairs and rentals.
