Packed cruise ship loses power, set adrift for 3 hours due to ‘technical issue'
These travelers certainly didn't feel like celebrities. This past Saturday, a Celebrity Cruises ship packed with vacationers was left temporarily powerless after a significant electrical failure — causing it to drift off a southern Italian coast, according to CruiseMapper. The incident occurred on Saturday, August 2, when the Celebrity Constellation lost power while sailing in the Ionian Sea — approximately 25 miles southeast of Crotone, Italy — during its 11-night Mediterranean voyage. Advertisement Facebook/Mike Van Horn The cruise ship, which carries over 2,100 guests and roughly 1,000 crew members, was scheduled to spend the day at sea before its next port of call in Messina, Sicily. Instead, the vessel suffered a total electrical outage for three hours — cutting off lighting, air conditioning, toilets and kitchen facilities. Advertisement The ship slowed to just 1–2 knots, far below its typical cruising speed of 24 knots, and drifted for nearly three hours, according to Cruise Hive. The vessel suffered a total electrical outage, cutting off lighting, air conditioning, toilets, and kitchen facilities. Facebook/Mike Van Horn Passengers aboard the Constellation were left without air conditioning in temperatures nearing 80°F, causing conditions inside the ship to quickly become uncomfortable. In the absence of functional kitchens, guests were served cold meals for dinner. Despite the discomfort, many passengers noted the crew remained professional and communicative. Advertisement The ship's emergency generators activated as designed, maintaining minimal essential systems including emergency lighting, fire detection, and communications. A spokesperson for the Royal Caribbean Group, parent company of Celebrity Cruises, confirmed to USA Today that the vessel experienced a power failure caused by a 'technical issue' but provided no further details about the root cause or the repair process. Engineering crews on board worked closely with shoreside support teams to restore functionality. Advertisement Although power was gradually restored after about two hours, the vessel remained stationary for some time before regaining full propulsion. The cruise took off from Ravenna, Italy, on July 28 and will end in Civitavecchia-Rome on Aug. 8. It is currently en route to Naples, though it remains unclear if it made it to Messina on schedule. Power failures at sea, which are not uncommon, can be triggered by a range of factors, including electrical faults, engine room complications or software issues. Comparisons were made to past incidents such as the 2013 Carnival Triumph power failure — which was detailed in the Netflix docuseries 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise' — though passengers aboard the Constellation were quick to note that this was nowhere near as severe.

Notre Dame star is named to the 2025 Walter Camp Player of the Year watch list
Add another preseason accolade to the list for Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love. The Walter Camp preseason first-team All-American has been named to the 2025 Walter Camp player of the year Watch List. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Rugby: Bay of Plenty Steamers dominate Tasman in NPC opener with 37-7 win
After a disrupted build-up to the season, the team clearly put it together on the day. The second-half eruption with a flurry of tries reflected tactical execution and emotion. Bay of Plenty Steamers head coach Richard Watt said the 'cheeky kick' from All Black Emoni Narawa, who dropped a field goal at the end of what was for him his 50th game for the Bay, wasn't something he had seen coming. 'Good on them. It was a nice fullstop on the game.' The Bay of Plenty Steamers beat Tasman 37-7 in round one of the NPC at Tauranga Domain on August 3, 2025. Photo / Bay of Plenty Rugby Union Watt said he believes the Steamers have matured into serious title contenders. 'We're playing to be the best in New Zealand. After what we've developed over the last few years, there's real belief in the team now that we can win, that we're good enough.' He said the Steamers team loved seeing the massive crowd turn out for them on Sunday at the Tauranga Domain. 'They've always said 'we always love the Domain'. 'They love when the community comes in and they want to put on a performance for them. They certainly did that today.' The stands were packed at Tauranga Domain. Photo / Rosalie Liddle Crawford The Tauranga Domain was fully packed on Sunday, with thousands of supporters. Katikati residents Anne and John Bennett were attending a Bay of Plenty Steamers game for only the second time, having been to their first last year. 'We heard about the game on Facebook and just thought we'd come and support the Steamers,' Anne said. 'We just really enjoyed coming to it last year and we're amazed to see all the families and young kids getting right into the rugby. 'It's a really safe environment for families to come to and it's a great entertainment, and it's really neat to see a live game.' John and Anne Bennett from Katikati. Photo / Rosalie Liddle Crawford Watt is adamant that the local hometown support gives a massive boost to the Steamers and is looking forward to the community turning out again for the remaining home games. 'It helps; I tell you, it really does help,' Watt said. 'This is a good way to start the season.' There are another three games set to be played at Tauranga Domain – on August 16 against Canterbury, the Battle of the Bays clash against Hawke's Bay on September 13, and September 28 against Waikato. The Steamers kicked off their NPC campaign with a 37-7 home win over Tasman at the Tauranga Domain.

Fehi Fineanganofo also ran out for his blazer game, while Charlie Sinton and Jai Knight made their debut. 'And those two young fellows that come off the bench, Charlie Sinton and Jai Knight, that was their first game for the Bay. 'Jai's out of Mount College, Charlie's out of Tauranga Boys' College, so it's cool to see them get their first cap.' Sinton led his college team to win the Super 8 Rugby First XV 2024 final and captained the New Zealand Secondary Schools rugby team. Lock Knight played for the Barbarians side in the Under-20 Super Rugby tournament in Taupō earlier this year and is expected to stamp his mark in the NPC. Bay of Plenty head coach Richard Watt looking happy at the result. Photo / Rosalie Liddle Crawford There were two injuries for Steamers players on Sunday. 'That's all part of the game – the gig, but hopefully they'll be all right.' It was a long way for Tasman to come and lose, but Watt is pragmatic. 'The Domain is a bit of a fortress, but we had to go down to their place last year in Blenheim. 'That's part of the competition; you've got to perform at home, and you've got to try and pick up some points on the road.' Emily Tupa'i (from left), Connor Tupa'i, Jordyn Judd and Jared Pender were among the crowd at the Bay of Plenty-Tasman game. Photo / Rosalie Liddle Crawford The Steamers will be 'on the road' this week, playing Counties Manukau in Pukekohe on August 10. 'That will be a tough one,' Watt said.

In 2024, the Steamers beat nine-time NPC champions Canterbury 32-20 at the Tauranga Domain. Bay of Plenty Steamers captain Kurt Ekland and Naitoa Ah Kuoi meeting fans and supporters after the game.

They had a good running against Wellington yesterday,' Watt said. The crowds flocked to the Tauranga Domain. Photo / Rosalie Liddle Crawford It's back to training and preparing for the next game in the round robin, with the Steamers determined to go hard after the championship title. 'Coming off last year, there's a lot of belief in the team that they can push to get back to that game again. 'Once you've got belief, it just grows character. 'They believe in each other first, and they believe in the way we're playing. Everyone's doing their role so it's pretty pleasing,' Watt said.
