(WXYZ) - What started out as a four day cruise for Gina Howe and her friend has turned into a week long nightmare.
The Saline woman had been trapped on the Carnival Cruise ship Triumph since Sunday when a small fire knocked out the power to the entire ship.

Since then, passengers had been experiencing horrific living conditions on the cruise liner. Howe is a diabetic who needs protein and she ran out of insulin a few days ago on the crippled ship. She had to wait in line for hours just to get any food.
