MAKING YOUR OWN TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS: When arranging your own connecting air travel in conjunction with your Sun Princess or Dawn Princess cruise, please ensure your flight arrives no later than midday on the day of embarkation, and your return flight leaves no earlier than midday on the day of disembarkation. We will not be held responsible for any unforeseen circumstances that necessitate any changes to your travel arrangements.
 
Shore Tours and Landtours: These tours are operated by local independent companies. In selling tickets for these optional programmes, Princess Cruises acts only for other independent companies who provide such programmes as independent contractors and from whom Princess Cruises get a commission. Princess Cruises shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, illness or death arising from or occurring during a shore excursion or tour, whether or not such a shore excursion or tour was purchased through Princess Cruises.
 
Land and Air Arrangements: Princess Cruises shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, illness, death, cost of delay arising from or in connection with the services and facilities provided by or any act of an independent contractor such as airline, hotel, tour, restaurant rail or any other transport operator, etc., whether or not such arrangements were made by Princess Cruises.
   
Coach Packages: The coach package includes return travel only and cannot be used for oneway travel. Coach transfers are available on the day of embarkation and disembarkation only, and operation of the service is subject to minimum numbers.
 
HEALTH: Passengers’ wellbeing is our foremost concern and any recent/current physical or mental condition that may require medical attention or special treatment (including travelling with a wheelchair), must be advised to us at time of booking. In addition, we may require you to complete a pre-boarding medical questionnaire. If you are travelling with any medical apparatus, please advise us at time of booking so we can ensure this apparatus will operate on board and send you an information sheet where appropriate. A booking may be refused or cancelled after deposit for anyone whose state of physical or mental health renders them, in our opinion, unfit for travel, or anyone whose condition may constitute a danger to themselves or any other passenger. Details regarding wheelchair access are available at the time of booking. Your travel agent should check with us for details. A certificate of fitness may be required for passengers with a known medical condition and if so they should carry this with them on board. To aid in on board medical care these passengers may also be requested to bring with them a recent medical history from their own doctor and a list of current medications. All passengers must bring sufficient quantities of any prescribed medicines to last the duration of the cruise. Please note that travel insurance is essential.
 
VACCINATIONS AND HEALTH ADVISORIES: We recommend seasonal influenza vaccination for all passengers. Furthermore, you are strongly advised to seek advice from either your doctor or an approved public health travel advisory service, to identify any specific vaccination or health precautions required for each port of call, e.g. World Health Organisation (www.who.int/ith) or The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (www.dfat.gov.au) . Some countries strictly enforce certain health requirements. Failure to comply may result in the local authorities preventing passengers from going ashore and some may impose a monetary fine or deny the ship entry into the port.
 
PASSENGERS WITH DISABILITIES OR REQUIRING ASSISTANCE: Certain facilities are available for people with disabilities or who require assistance. Please ask your travel agent if you have any special needs.
 
MEDICAL SERVICES: The on board medical centre is staffed by full time, registered doctors and nurses. In addition to daily centre opening hours, the medical staff, headed by the Senior Doctor, are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide medical care for both passengers and crew in the event of an emergency. Charges for medical services will be added to your on board account and you will be provided with an itemised account to submit to your insurance company. Medical services on board are outside the scope of Australian Medicare and treatment is charged at private rates. All charges for consultations, treatments and medication, including those incurred on Australian coastal cruises, cannot be claimed on Australian Medicare. We strongly recommend that you arrange appropriate international travel insurance at time of booking. The Carrier is not a healthcare provider and shall not be liable for the death, injury or sickness of any passenger arising from any act or omission of doctors, nurses or other providers of medical services with respect to the treatment, advice, care or services of any kind given by such persons to any passenger. These medical providers exercise their own medical judgement and expertise.
 
DINING: Seating arrangements in the dining room are made by request on a first-come, firstserved basis. To request your preference for Traditional first or second seating, special diets, or seating with a specific party, it is best to have your travel agent make the request at the time of booking. Ultimate Balcony Dining™ is only available to passengers occupying a balcony stateroom and can only be requested once on board, subject to availability.
 
TIPPING: During your cruise, many members of our staff will provide you with excellent service, and tipping is simply the traditional way of saying ‘Thank You.’ Although tipping is voluntary, we suggest a daily amount of AUD10.00 on the Sun and Dawn Princess, and USD10.00 on all other Princess Ships. For passengers’ convenience, we have introduced a method of tipping that makes it easier to reward staff for their excellent service. The suggested amount of AUD10.00 or USD10.00 will be added to each passenger’s (aged 13 years and over) on board account on a daily basis. This allows for the collection of tips without the need for cash and helps to ensure all staff who have served you are rewarded. You can adjust or remove the standard daily charge at any time during your cruise, or direct it to specific staff who have provided excellent service. See the Pursers Desk for any queries.
 
CHILDREN: Children are not permitted to sail if, at the time of sailing, they are less than 12 months old. Due to the limited children’s and teenager’s facilities on board, there are restrictions on the number of children that can be accommodated in different age groups. Children’s dates of birth are required to be provided at time of booking in order to avoid exceeding these limits. Once the relevant limits have been reached we will not be able to accept bookings for any children in the applicable age group. Passengers under 18 years of age not cruising with their parents must provide a letter of consent from them when booking and must travel in a complete cabin with an adult (18 years or over). For cruises S820, D837, D838 and D839 any passenger under the age of 21 years at the time of travel must travel in the same cabin as their parent or legal guardian. There must be a minimum of two full fares in each cabin before children’s fares can be applied. Infants 12 months to 2 years 11 months are welcome to travel, however they will be required to be cared for, accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian at all times throughout the cruise. There will be a charge for evening child activities in the youth centre between 10pm and 1am for children 3 to 12 years. Restrictions may apply for children’s access to the whirlpool spas.

Duty-free and personal alcohol purchased shore side, must be surrendered by passengers at embarkation or prior to boarding in any port. All alcohol will be held under bond and returned at disembarkation in the final port of call. Please note that all luggage, both hand and check-in, will be x-rayed at embarkation. At disembarkation, individuals must declare to Customs all amounts of alcohol in excess of the local Customs limit. Carrier reserves the right to refuse to serve alcohol to any passenger for any reason. For those whose age is questionable, photo identification may be requested.
 
SMOKING: Certain sections of the ship are designated as ‘Non-Smoking’, including all dining areas. We kindly ask you not to smoke in these areas. Also, as a courtesy to your fellow passengers, please refrain from smoking pipes and cigars.
 
TRAVEL INSURANCE: At time of deposit, it is essential that you take out comprehensive international travel insurance to cover charges arising should you have to cancel your holiday. Please note that not all reasons for cancellation will be covered by insurance. Carefully check the type of insurance cover before purchasing. Travel insurance is also essential at the time of travel to cover any medical expenses, pre-existing medical conditions and lost or damaged luggage. Carrier may not be liable for lost or damaged baggage and personal property. Arrange a policy with your travel agent when booking, and carry a copy of the policy with you on your cruise holiday.
