Western Caribbean with Mexico 0 Western Caribbean with Mexico , ON, Canada, Sep 2026
Thank you to Global Journeys and Kaitlyn Oliver for such a lovely trip. It is a pleasure to be able to not have to worry about booking and making sure everything is in place for the trip. Kaitlyn was easy to deal with and gave us good advice along the way. My favourite stop was Belize. We really enjoyed visiting the ruins.
Scandinavian Cruise   0 Scandinavia , SA, Australia, Sep 2026
I booked a Sky Princess cruise with Grace and found her to be very quick to respond to any queries and was very easy to communicate with. I am in the process of booking another cruise with her as she was so good. I enjoyed the cruise with my husband which was 12 nights, although I was a bit sea sick. We booked excursions with the ship which were mainly read more pretty good I would have enjoyed some free time to explore a bit on our own after, I did find them quite expensive overall. We unfortunately didn’t see Estonia as it was too windy to dock. There was plenty to do on board if you wanted to get to get involved with all the activities. I would go with the same cruise line as it was all very well organized and the crew were very nice.
Enchanted Princess Mediterranean cruise 0 Mediterranean, Aegean & Adriatic , NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
We had the most wonderful cruise with Princess Cruises and lovely destinations. It was our 2nd cruise with Princess and they did not disappoint. I would like to commend Global Journey's, Grace Enchelmaier, for her excellent work. We booked last minute, she helped us compare trip options. She was patient, attentive and acted swiftly. Thanks again Grace!

What are the age requirements to cruise with Princess?
Guests must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation and at least 12 months of age for trans-ocean crossings and remote itineraries, where there are more than 2 consecutive sea days.
Is there anything I need to do before my cruise starts?
Princess® MedallionClass makes cruising effortless. It all begins with the OceanMedallion™, a 20 cent coin-sized device that never needs to be turned on or off. Download the Princess® app to complete the OceanReady® steps before you sail. You'll want to complete the following steps to ensure access to the Green Lane in the terminal for faster check-in with less waiting.

  • Customise your Medallion®
  • Personal Information & Travel Docs
  • Payment Information
  • Passage Contract & Acceptances/Acknowledgements
  • Security & Profile Photos
  • Emergency Information
  • Health Questionnaire

Guests who don't complete all of the above steps in the app will access the Blue Lane for check-in, where our Navigators will help ensure all steps are complete and issue guest Medallions.

Your Global Journeys Cruise Advisor will also provide you with details to access the Cruise Personalizer®  online to book transfers, reserve shore excursions, make spa appointments, and purchase any beverage packages if they are not already included in your booking. Before you leave for your cruise, you can print your luggage tags from Cruise Personalizer.
What do I need to bring with me to board our ship?
You will be asked to show your OceanReady QR code to terminal personnel during the health screening process and once again at check-in. This code can be accessed through the Princess® app on your smart device. To streamline the check-in process, we ask that you print your OceanReady QR code. Your OceanReady QR code only becomes available once you complete your health questionnaire and accept passage contract and acceptances.

What visas will I need for my trip?
There are many regulations that apply to differing nationalities visiting international countries. You should check with the relevant embassy or consulate about your visa requirements. As governmental travel requirements change periodically, you must check with the government authorities for all countries you will visit to determine or verify the requirements at the time of sailing. All visa requirements are your responsibility. Princess assumes no responsibility for advising guests of such requirements. More information can be found here.
Do I need travel insurance?
Australian Medicare, New Zealand ACC and private health insurance will not cover you for any medical costs on board. All cruises (even cruises that do not visit foreign ports) require international travel insurance. When cruising to New Caledonia it is mandatory to have travel insurance. We strongly recommend that you organise your travel insurance at the time you pay your deposit.

Travel insurance is an essential part of your holiday plans. Be aware when organising your insurance, that uninsured travellers (or their families) and travellers without the appropriate level of cover, are held personally liable for cancellation, medical and associated costs incurred at any time whether before the cruise, on board or overseas.

Princess Cruises and Global Journeys recommend Cover-More Travel Insurance.
How much luggage can I bring?
For your cruise, Princess recommends no more than two (2) bags per person. Each bag can be no bigger than 140cm x 60cm x 40cm and cannot weigh more than 32kg. It is important to remember that airlines may have different luggage restrictions. In addition to your personal identification tag, please attach a completed Princess Cruises luggage tag which has been included in your pre-cruise documents to each piece of luggage.
When can I book my shore excursions?
You can book your shore excursions through your Cruise Personalizer from approximately 180 days before travel, and up to 5 days before you depart. A Shore Tours Office with a Shore Excursion Manager is also on board each ship, ready to assist you with your port and shore tour related questions and purchases.
What clothing should I pack?
You should dress for a cruise with Princess the same way you would for any stylish land based resort. Casual sportswear, including shorts, lightweight pants and jogging suits, is the order of the day both at sea and ashore in hotter climates.

Princess recommends you bring a sweater, a jacket or an all-weather coat for cool evenings, and for shore excursions, depending on your destination. Be sure to bring appropriate clothing for visits to religious sites. You'll also want low-heeled, rubber soled shoes for strolling on deck, as well as comfortable walking shoes or sandals to wear when going ashore.

During the day, casual clothes are suitable. After 5.30pm, smart casual attire is required in the public lounges and restaurants or as published in the ship's newsletter. Guest attire should be in keeping with what they would wear to a nice restaurant at home. For example, skirts/dresses, slacks, and sweaters for ladies and suit pants with dinner jackets for men.

Dinner wear such as pool or beach attire, shorts, ball caps and casual jeans (with fraying and/or holes) are not welcomed in the dining rooms. Shoes must be worn. On formal evenings, Princess suggest gentlemen wear a suit, or jacket and tie, and for ladies an evening or cocktail dress.
How many formal/theme nights will there be?
Princess Cruises has formal nights on cruises of more than four days. The number of formal nights will depend on the length of your cruise. Cruises up to 14 nights duration usually feature two or three formal nights, cruises up to 28 nights duration usually feature three or four formal nights, while longer cruises feature a minimum of five formal nights.

Cruises of seven nights or more usually also feature theme nights. Outfits are available for purchase onboard, or you are welcome to bring your own. Theme nights vary from cruise to cruise.
Can I bring my own alcohol on board?
On the day of embarkation, guests are permitted to bring one 750ml bottle of wine or champagne onboard per voyage, which will not be subject to a corkage fee if consumed in your stateroom. Additional wine or champagne bottles are welcome, but will incur a $15 corkage fee each, irrespective of where they are intended to be consumed. Liquor, spirits, or beers are not permitted.

Any alcoholic beverages purchased duty free from the ship's gift shop, or at any port of call, will be collected at the gangway for safekeeping and will be delivered to your stateroom on the last day of the cruise.
What is the currency used on board?
One of the best things about cruising with Princess is the convenience of being able to charge all your onboard expenses to your stateroom. You will receive your OceanMedallion before you board. The Medallion allows you to make TrulyTouchless™ purchases on board and is linked to your personal shipboard account where all purchases are charged.

All prices onboard Coral Princess®, Majestic Princess®, and Grand Princess® cruises departing from and returning to Australia, one way Sydney to Auckland and vice versa and repositioning voyages from Asia to Australia and vice versa are in Australian Dollars.

Prices onboard all other Princess Cruises ships including Princess cruises repositioning from USA to Australia (including sector on repositioning sailing Auckland to Sydney and vice versa) Regal Princess® repositioning from Europe/Asia to Australia and Diamond Princess® cruises departing from and returning to Japan are in US Dollars.
