Passport expiry

[emzz_02]

Hey all,

 

I couldn't find a direct answer on princess's page so I'm hoping someone here can answer for me.

 

I'm planning to surprise my parents with a short getaway cruise on the Golden Princess in April next year, just from Melbourne to Sydney.

 

Now my step fathers passport is expired. Given that the ship is not ending in an overseas port of visiting any, does he need to have a current passport or would a drivers licence etc be sufficient. Would like to confirm before I book anything

 

Thanks in advance!

I suggest you phone Princess, but I am sure I have heard in the past that a driver's licence is sufficient identification for a totally domestic cruise.

A driver's license is sufficient. I have taken many of these domestic cruises, the last one in October 2015 and you do not need a passport. Just a license will do!

Or if you don't have a Licence (my Mum didn't) an official identity card works as well.

A passport is not required for Domestic cruises, that even includes visits to Willis Island.

Thanks so much everyone. Just gets confusing on their website when it says passports are required all cruises regardless and then asks for a passport number in the cruise personaliser!

It is confusing! Just enter licence or photo ID number instead of passport number in that field.

Agreed, my SIL had no end of trouble (no passport or licence) and ended up having to make the phone call and get them to do it.
