Cheers,

Yes, we needed the Electronic Visa for our cruise which began in Los Angeles and included Australia.

We just returned from a Princess Cruise: Sydney/Auckland.

 

Princess took care of the Visa for a $ 20.00 charge.

 

We arrived in Sydney by air.

 

Check with your TA.

They are done on line and many TAs will do them for no charge.

We are travelling from the British Isles to NZ/AUS and received a letter from Princess that they could process a visa for us for £25 each or we could do it online. This we did and it didn't cost us anything. As I don't know where you are located, if you are from the UK, you do a search on this forum for Australian visa and you will find the IP address for the electronic visa.

Sorry, just deduced from your previous posts that you are not from the UK, so please disregard my last post.

http://www.eta.immi.gov.au is the official government page about electronic visas for Australia.

 

Unfortunately for our American friends, the free eVisitor service is currently only available to European passport holders.

 

However, the ETA is available from that website for AUD 20. Personally, I would rather do that myself and know that it's been done properly, as opposed to getting Princess to do it for more money (USD 20) and very possibly get it wrong.
