Hello. We are sailing on the Royal Princess in April, 2024. It is a 21 day cruise embarking in Sydney, Australia and ending in Yokohama, Japan. We normally like to pre purchase a couple of the 375 ml bottles of spirits to have in the room. When I attempt to buy, the following appears:
Princess Wine & Spirits
Sorry, we encountered an error while retrieving your Princess Wine & Spirits shopping list.
Trying again later may resolve the issue, but please note that in some circumstances the item(s) you selected may no longer be available for purchase on this cruise.
Is this normal for cruises with this itinerary? I've been "trying again later" for several months. There are not any wines or spirits available for purchase. Has anyone else experienced this? Any insight is greatly appreciated. I am in the U.S., not Australia. The cruise account folio is in AUD. Does that make any difference? Does Australia have rules or regulations that do not allow for such purchases? Thanks.
