The cruise ship Carnival Spirit, a regular visitor to Sydney departed for its current cruise at dusk this evening.

  1. It is odd that we still use the words sail and steam when taking about water craft that don't have sails or steam engines. Melbourne's cruise season has ended but Sydney's never stops.

    1. Andrew, I hesitated when typing 'steam' but then thought that 'motor' sounded odd.
