Among those stuck on the Carnival cruise liner that lost power in the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend is a group of Jazzercisers from North Texas and they are not amused.

A Dallas dance studio estimated that there are about 110 Jazzercise in instructors and students are on board. A fire on the ship initially cut off all running water and electricity on the ship. Although cold water has been restored, passengers are still without most power and air conditioning, and have been sleeping on decks and going to the bathroom in bags, since the ship's plumbing is also not operational.

Steven Lawley said his wife, Heather Lawley, told him the experience has been "rugged." The cabins are "like a hot box" while the stench is unbearable. She's had to wait in line for more than an hour for her meals of "fruit and Beanee Weenees."

The ship, which is being towed by tug boats, is expected to reach port on Thursday.
