WASHINGTON (Alliance News) - Cruise ship Carnival Spirit docked at Sydney Harbor on Wednesday with 2,500 passengers and 1,500 crew members after being stranded at sea for two night due to storms.
Carnival Spirit pulled into the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Sydney shortly before 10 am local time. The Sydney Harbor officials had closed the port due to violent storms in the eastern Australian coast.
Carnival Spirit had remained stranded outside Sydney as the storm and heavy seas prevented a harbor pilot to guide the ship to the port. Most of the passengers suffered sea sicknesses and were mentally distraught.
The ship is operated by Carnival Cruise Lines, a subsidiary of FTSE 100-listed Carnival PLC.
