Thanks for the replies.

If we need to hand over the alcohol we will of course do so. If it is returned on the final night of the cruise we will be getting it back 24 hours later, which seems like a fairly pointless exercise, but we will absolutely comply with the rules set.

apologies if this is has an obvious answer.

I'm aware that there is a single bottle limit of wine/champagne per passenger on embarkation, but I was wondering if the same applies to alcohol purchased in port. We will be visiting a port where we are hoping to visit a boutique distillery and purchase some whisky and gin as souvenirs. Is there an issue bringing these items back on board?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for all your reassurance. Feeling much less worried now!

Yes, we're all Australian citizens.

Hi all,

I'm due to sail with my family on a Princess cruise in late January from Adelaide to Melbourne in Australia, which I believe is a section of a longer Melbourne to Melbourne return.

I was finally completing our booking information tonight and ID documents were requested. I've put in our passport details as requested, but noticed some fine print down the bottom specifying that passports need to be valid for six months after completion of travel. Two of the four passports do not meet this requirement.

When booking with the travel agents, the specified requirements for domestic cruises was listed merely as photo ID. I assume that being a cruise that originates and visits only Australian ports that immigration matters don't apply, so I'm not sure why the passport is required to be valid for such a long time.

I'll be contacting our travel agents as soon as they open and ask for clarification, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience on ID requirements on princess domestic cruises, particularly within Australia. I really don't want to have to apply for urgent processing of two passports.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, and please be gentle - it's my first time posting!
