Uloyiko lokuba ukufika kweenqanawa ezintathu zokukhenketha kuya kuyiqhwalelisa iSydney namhlanje ngendlela efanayo naleyo yokufika kukaQueen Mary 2 noQE2 kulo nyaka uphelileyo.
Ukubamba kuMsasazo waseMpuma yayiyinto eqhelekileyo njengoko iNkosazana yeDayimane, iNkosazana yeLanga kunye ne-superliner ehlaziyiweyo yePasifiki Jewel bonke bahamba ngeentloko phantsi kwesibhakabhaka esingwevu ngaphambi kwentsimbi yesi-7 ekuseni ngophawu oluqinisekileyo lokuba ixesha lokuhamba ngenqanawa lihamba ngokupheleleyo.
Iinqanawa ziphakathi kwe-118 yeenqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ezilindelwe kwizibuko laseSydney ngeli xesha lokuhamba ngenqanawa.
Ingxelo ye-Access Economics, egunyaziswe yiCarnival Australia kwaye ikhutshwe kule veki, ifumene ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa lifake i-1.2 yezigidigidi zeedola kuqoqosho lwelizwe ngo-2007/2008.
Umphathi oyintloko weCarnival Australia uAnn Sherry uthe eli nani linokuphinda kabini kwishumi leminyaka ukuba oorhulumente baphucula izibuko.
Iinqanawa zisebenzisa i-crew edibeneyo ye-2500 kwaye inokuthwala ngaphezu kwe-6500 abakhweli bebonke.
Umboniso wamanzi wokutsala umlilo, ngoncedo lweSydney Ports, namhlanje uhamba nePacific Jewel, esanda kulungiswa eSingapore.
Isithethi seCarnival Australia u-Anthony Fisk uthe i-spruced-up, ebizwa ngokuba yi-superliner iza kuchitha iintsuku ezine eSydney ngaphambi kohambo lwayo lokuqala ngeCawa.
I-Rhuluneli-Jikelele, u-Quentin Bryce, uya kuthiya ngokusemthethweni i-Pacific Jewel kumsitho kwi-Overseas Passenger Terminal ngoMgqibelo ebusuku.
AbakwaSydneysiders bayamenywa ukuba bazimase ngorhatya lwemibhiyozo kwiSetyhula Quay. Abaphumeleleyo be-Idol base-Australia u-Wes Carr kunye no-Stan Walker baya kudlala.
