Snowgums Posted November 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Very disappointed to get an email from Carnival advising my March 4th cruise has been cancelled. Was hoping to spend four days with my beautiful daughter from WA to celebrate her birthday on March 4th. 😢😢😢😢. Will rollover for FCC and extra OBC. Now have two cruises rolled over and one still booked for November 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windsor26 Posted November 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I have just gone into the Carnival site to see what was happening with my 8th March cruise to the Islands. Well they have changed it to along the Great Barrier Reef shouting to Willis Island on the way back. I thought I had got in a muddle as the reference number was not the same either so asked my TA He says he checked and yes they had changed the itinerary but had not advised them at all. Not worried at all as a cruise is a cruise Just wondered If we do not set foot on foreign soil do we need a passport or will a Medicare card do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain we just used our drivers licences when we did a Tasmania cruise from Sydney on Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not to sure about the medicare card as it does not have your photo on it, hopefully someone else can help you with this. I'm sure somebody here must have cruised with grandkids not old enough for a drivers license. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be able to buy duty free onboard, as it makes a technical stop (drops anchor) to get duty free status.

Ondine Posted November 15, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2021 We have travelled up the coast just using our drivers licences. However for New Zealand and the Islands we have to have passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor26 Posted November 15, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Thank you everyone Good to know what is accepted I can use our drivers licences as well Don't want to use passport as we have UK ones and they may be nasty about us 'leaving' and returning' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter69 Posted November 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I think the strange thing about these Cancellations Where. The last dated cruises, the 4th Splendor & 6th Spirit, where Carnivals 50th Anniversary cruises. Celebrating 50 years. The very next ones are still ok, At the moment.. Being a Loyal Carnival Cruiser, I was hoping for something special on these cruises.😥😥 #WEWILLBEBACK.👍❤️🚢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Border Force at the terminal for a “ coastal” cruise, coming or going so no problem using your passport. Other forms of ID must be govt issue photo ID except for minors where Medicare card can be used . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
