SHOWING its support for Red Nose Day late last week, Carnival Spirit sailed into its Sydney homeport sporting a giant red nose – the largest ever to appear on a cruise liner. The nose-piece (pictured below) measured seven metres in diameter and was brightly lit up from within to celebrate the liner’s partnership with the SIDS national charity to raise awareness for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Red Nose Day is the organisation’s long-running fundraising day, which has contributed $16m to fund research since the event was born. Passengers aboard Carnival Spirit also put their contributions in, participating in a number of activities, such as colouring-in competitions and games with kids during the ship’s turnaround in Sydney, with face painters & clowns also entertaining.
