This could include weather, mechanical difficulties, civil unrest or any other unforeseen circumstances. In addition, We may charter all or part of the ship, or remove the ship from service where this becomes necessary. We may change the itinerary, ship or cancel the cruise due to operational or commercial requirements. We will notify You of these changes as soon as We can. If We are forced to cancel Your cruise for any reason prior to departure We will provide a full refund. Since Your itinerary is not guaranteed, please do not make any important arrangements or meetings based on the proposed itinerary. Changes within Our control: Where We make a significant change to the ports in Your itinerary prior to departure and this is due to a circumstance within Our control, for example for operational or commercial requirements You will have the choice of: 1. the new itinerary; 2. An alternative cruise of comparable standard, if available; or 3. Cancelling the cruise for a full refund of Your fare. For the purposes of this clause, 'significant change' means a change to the city of departure or disembarkation, or to the majority (by number) of the other ports in Your itinerary. Changes outside Our control: If it is necessary to change the itinerary due to safety, maritime law, severe weather, to protect human life or health or other factors outside Our control, We will attempt to offer a revised itinerary as close as possible to the original itinerary. We will not provide any compensation in connection with the revised itinerary unless Consumer Laws require otherwise. 13. TRAVEL INSURANCE We strongly recommend You purchase appropriate international travel insurance as soon as You pay Your deposit. As Australian Medicare and New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation do not cover Your travel onboard, it is important that international travel insurance is purchased for all voyages (including domestic Australian itineraries which do not visit international ports). If You do not purchase international travel insurance, You will not be able to recover cancellation charges, medical costs, repatriation and other expenses that may arise if things do not go according to plan. 14. PREGNANCY POLICY Guest understands and acknowledges that in addition to the limitations on medical care described in Clause 27 below, prenatal and early infant care, in particular, may require specialized diagnostic facilities and/or treatment that are not available or obtainable during the cruise on board the ship and/or ashore in ports of call. Therefore, any Guest that is unfit to travel, and any Guest who will at any time during the cruise enter her the 24th week of estimated gestational age, agrees not to book a cruise or board the ship. We are unable to accept any guests who will have entered their 24th week or later at any time during the cruise. 15. MINIMUM AGE TO TRAVEL We welcome children 12 months and over to cruise with Us for international cruises, and children 6 months and over for domestic cruises. We are unable to accommodate infants under 12 months for international or transoceanic cruises, cruises with remote itineraries and cruises with more than two (2) consecutive sea days) and under 6 months for domestic cruises due to limited neo-natal facilities on board and at ports of call. Stateroom Age Requirements: To ensure there is suitable supervision, there needs to be at least one guest 18 years or older in each stateroom. However, to accommodate families cruising together, children may occupy a separate stateroom to their parent/legal guardian, providing one child is 16 years or over. Minimum Age to Book*: Subject to applicable laws, for cruises departing from an Australian port between 1 November and 7 January, We will permit a quota of 20 guests per cruise who are under the age of 19 and not accompanied by a responsible adult. Once this quota is filled, We will require guests who are under the age of 19 to travel in the same room as a responsible adult 19 years or older. In addition, from 8 January to 31 January, We will permit a quota of 60 guests per cruise who are under the age of 19 and not accompanied by a responsible adult. Once this quota is filled, We will require guests who are under the age of 19 to travel in the same room as a responsible adult 19 years or older. We can advise You at the time of booking whether the limit applies to Your booking. Carnival Cruise Line can waive the responsible adult requirement at its discretion. Any requests for review of a waiver application decision can be made by emailing Carnival Cruise Line Australia Support Department at australiasupport@carnival.com. In determining waiver requests We will take into account, the risks of an unauthorised event occurring, the risks of secondary supply of alcohol to minors or any other risks of excessive behaviour. The responsible adult is accountable for passengers under 19 years of age in their room for the duration of the cruise, and the ‘Travel Restrictions and Rights of the Captain’ under clause 28 will be applied to anyone who displays disruptive behaviour. *For sailings departing outside of Australia, different age restrictions apply. Please contact your travel agent or Carnival for details. 16. TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN Parents/Legal guardians are responsible for children at all times, including when participating in Youth Program activities. If a child displays dangerous or disruptive behaviour, the ‘Travel Restrictions and Rights of the Captain’ under clause 28 will be applied to both parent/legal guardian and child. Children’s access to pools and spas may be restricted and adult supervision is required at all times. Guests under the age of 18 are not permitted in child free areas such as Serenity. Prams and strollers must be collapsible and capable of being stored in Your cabin. You acknowledge that if You are travelling with a child of whom You are not the parent or legal guardian, You are required to notify Us during the check-in process and provide a Consent Form for the Minor/s travelling with You executed by the child’s parent or legal guardian. You must provide this form at check-in counter on day of embarking Your cruise as well as carry this form with You at all times during Your cruise. You may be asked to make decisions relating to matters such as that child’s safety, health and dietary requirements, medical treatment and decisions relating to disciplinary matters. Download the consent form here. 17. YOUTH PROGRAMS Centre Attendance Requirements: Carnival Cruise Line Youth programs provide highly engaging age-appropriate activities for children and teenagers between the ages of 2 and 17 years old. Carnival’s policy is to group children together according to their age. Youth Program age policies are in place so that We can provide participants with age appropriate activities and so they can mingle with children their own age. The age of the child on the day they board the cruise is the age We use for the entire holiday. Baby Sitting: For the convenience of Our guests, Camp Carnival offers babysitting services for children aged between 12 months to 11 years each evening, from 10:00pm to 1:00am at an additional fee. 18.

Your passport must be valid for a minimum of six months beyond the date of Your cruise return and have sufficient blank pages for entry and exit stamps and visas. Without the necessary passport, visas and/or vaccinations, local authorities may deny You boarding, prevent You from going ashore, issue a fine or deny the ship entry into the port. It is Your responsibility to ensure You have all the necessary documentation which permits You to travel, including visas for ports at which You do not intend to disembark. We will not provide You with a refund or reimbursement for any expenses or losses incurred as a result of Your failure to comply with these requirements. In addition, travel on a Round Trip Cruise from Australia will not be recognised by Australian Immigration to have left Australia and therefore the cruise cannot be used to revalidate an Australian visa. 19. IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR DOMESTIC CRUISES For domestic cruises (cruises that do not visit a foreign port), a valid passport or government issued photo identification is required (Queensland Proof of Age cards will only be accepted if issued after October 2011).

For New Zealand domestic cruises, an original or certified copy of the child’s birth certificate or a school pass with photo will be accepted for guests under 18 years of age. For sailings outside of Australia: Proper travel documentation and eligibility to travel is required at the embarkation and throughout the cruise. In addition to immigration and customs requirements, the U.S. government and others place restrictions on the carriage of Guests whose names appear on government watch lists or who are deemed legally ineligible to travel. It is the Guest’s sole responsibility to ensure his/her legal eligibility to travel and to bring and have available at all times all required travel documents. Guests are advised to check with their travel agent and with the appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents and travel eligibility requirements for their particular cruise. Carnival may cancel the booking of any Guest who is or becomes ineligible to travel for any reason, or who is traveling without proper documentation. Any such Guest, or any Guest who fails to board the ship at embarkation, shall be ineligible to board the ship thereafter without Carnival’s consent, and shall not attempt to do so at the same or another port. Under these circumstances the Guest shall not be entitled to a refund or compensation of any kind. Guest is responsible for all related costs and fines, including without limitation travel expenses and for proper travel documentation for any port, or for departure from or arrival to the US.

In addition, clothing/accessories should not promote negative ethnic or racial commentary, or hatred or violence in any form. Carnival has a “zero tolerance” policy toward any illegal activity or behaviour by Guests or crew aboard. Guest agrees to comply with this policy and further acknowledges that it is Carnival’s policy to report incidents of illegal activity or behaviour to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Carnival Cruise Line will cooperate with relevant authorities in any civil or criminal proceedings sought by those agencies. For the safety of the vessel and of other guests and crew, Carnival reserves the right to confine any Guest who commits a crime on board until law enforcement authorities can be contacted and/or board the vessel. 22.

For cruises departing in Australia*, guests must be 18 years or over to purchase or consume alcohol, or gamble onboard. Government issued photo identification may be requested (Queensland ‘Adult Proof of Age Card’ will be accepted, however the older version of Queensland ‘Card 18+’ will not be accepted). Anyone who attempts to purchase alcohol by using false identification or the Sail & Sign® card of a guest who is eighteen or older will be deemed in violation of this policy. Any adult guest who attempts to or purchases alcohol for any minor guest will also be deemed in violation of this policy. Carnival has the right to disembark any guest who violates this policy as well as any adults traveling with minors who violate this policy or any other shipboard regulation. Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. Any alcohol purchased in the vessel’s gift shops or at a port of call will be collected by Us for safe keeping and will be returned to You on the last day of Your cruise. Any uncollected alcohol will be discarded after the cruise and no compensation will be given. * For sailings outside of Australia, the minimum age to purchase or consume alcohol onboard is 21. 24. SMOKING Smoking is not permitted indoors on any of Our ships. This includes in guest rooms and on private balconies. For those who smoke, there are designated outdoor areas where smoking is permitted and this information will be communicated to You onboard.

Any Guest who brings marijuana or any illegal controlled substances on board, in violation of Carnival’s policy or U.S. or international law, including any law of a port or the flag state, will be reported to local and/or Federal authorities and U.S. Customs & Border Protection for possible detainment and/or enforcement action. Carnival may deny boarding or disembark any Guest who brings or attempts to bring marijuana or any illegal substance on board with no refund to Guest and at Guest’s own expense for repatriation and travel. Guest agrees to strictly comply with Carnival’s Smoking Policy. Any violation of Our non-smoking policy shall, in Our sole discretion, constitute a material breach of this cruise contract. In the event of a breach by You, You forfeit all rights hereunder, including the right to remain on board and We reserve the right to disembark You at any port. We will not be liable for any refund or other compensation or damages whatsoever should You be disembarked pursuant to this provision, or should any other guest disembark due to Your disembarkation. You further agree that any violation of the non-smoking policy would also cause Carnival to incur damages, including but not limited to, loss of guest goodwill, revenue, cleaning, maintenance and/or other costs. You expressly acknowledge the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of such damages, and therefore agree that a reasonable estimate of the damages for any violation of the non-smoking policy is $500. You authorise a charge in this amount as liquidated damages, as well as repatriation expenses (including airfare) against Your on board charge account, without further notice, for any violation of the non-smoking policy. Charges for violation of the smoking policy will be made in the functional currency of the vessel, which may differ rom the currency used to secure the booking. 25.

If Carnival shall be held liable for the loss of or damage to Guest’s baggage or property it is agreed that such liability shall not exceed the lesser of: (1) the actual cash value, or (2) value declared in the manner above provided (up to U.S. $100 USD if no such declaration has been made). Declared value amounts to be proportionately reduced in any case where less than all of Guest’s baggage or property is lost, delayed or rendered unusable due to damage.

It is up to You to ensure that if You require doctors clearance to travel that You obtain that clearance. We may request that You provide such clearance to Us at any time. If a guest has a condition that We decide may seriously affect the enjoyment, health or safety of themselves or any other person onboard, We can refuse or cancel a booking. Such decisions will be made giving reasonable consideration to Your circumstances and We will advise You of Our decision as soon as possible. Where Your booking is cancelled You may be entitled to a refund.

ONBOARD MEDICAL CENTRE Each ship has a Medical Centre that is staffed by registered doctors and nurses, who, in addition to routine clinic hours, are available 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency. All of Our medical centres are well equipped to handle most medical conditions and are accredited to international healthcare quality standards. All cruises on Our ships are outside the scope of Australian Medicare, New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation and private health insurance. Consultations, treatments and medication are charged at private rates and must be paid by You and claimed through Your international travel insurance. While all of Our medical centres are equipped to handle many medical conditions, there may be occasions where it becomes necessary to disembark or evacuate a guest to receive further essential medical treatment. To ensure guest safety, this decision will be made by the onboard doctor and the Captain. All of Our medical centres are only for medical needs arising onboard and cannot cater for treatments that You know You will require while on holiday. We are not a healthcare provider and may not be held liable for the sickness, injury or death of any guest arising from any advice, treatment, care, services or any omission by medical staff. These medical providers exercise their own medical judgement and expertise. 28. OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS While We specialise in cruising holidays, You may choose to book other services through Us such as shore tours. We can assist You in making these arrangements; however, We act only as a booking agent. The service providers are solely responsible for the information and service offered and their conditions will apply. Where possible, We will assist in addressing any concerns You may have with these service providers. Any arrangements made with other service providers by or for You are Your responsibility and entirely at Your own risk. In the event that You go ashore You do so at Your own risk. You are responsible for adhering to the local laws, regulations and customs. We take no responsibility for any injury or loss that occurs while You are not onboard the ship. 29. TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHTS OF THE CAPTAIN During the cruise the Captain will exercise complete control over the ship and take such actions as he or she thinks necessary to preserve the safety and integrity of the ship and the comfort, safety and enjoyment of the guests and crew. You are responsible for ensuring that no travel restrictions apply to You. If police or any other authority in any jurisdiction notify Us of, or We otherwise become aware of, any matter that reasonably causes Us to believe Your presence onboard presents a risk to Your own health or safety or the health or safety of other guests and crew, we, or the Captain, may deny You boarding and may refuse or cancel any bookings from You. Once the cruise has commenced, if a guest seriously affects the safety, well-being or enjoyment of themselves or any other person onboard, the Captain has the right to confine, sedate or disembark the guest. In such cases, We are not responsible for any expenses including Your return home. In addition, You will not be entitled to any refunds. While the Captain will always act reasonably in these circumstances, You accept that the safety, well-being and enjoyment of everyone onboard, comes first. 30. LEAVING THE CRUISE EARLY You agree to return to the ship not less than 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Shipboard and shore side clocks may have different times, but it is Your responsibility to return to the vessel so as not to miss ship’s departure. If You are required, or choose, to leave the cruise for any reason (unless caused by Our proven negligence or failure to provide services with due care and skill and that are reasonably fit for purpose), We are not responsible for any expenses, including Your return home. This also applies if You do not return to the ship in time for sailing after a port visit. If We assist with any costs, You will be required to reimburse us. In addition, You will not be entitled to any refunds. It is important to be aware that it will not always be possible to leave a cruise early, even when on an Australian domestic itinerary. Some Australian ports have strict border and quarantine restrictions which prevent cruise ship guests from discontinuing the cruise in that port, even if they are an Australian passport holder. Many international ports also have strict border restrictions and visa requirements. For cruises departing in the United States: The Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) prohibits the transportation of passengers between two different U.S. ports. Guests cannot pre-plan to embark and disembark at different U.S. ports or otherwise purposefully cause a violation of the PVSA. Any guest who, due to emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances, insists on embarking or disembarking the vessel at a different port than planned, which results in a violation of the PVSA, will accept responsibility for any resulting penalties ($798 USD per person in 2019, but subject to change each year). 31. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Limitation of liability for Recreational Services Save for liability for significant personal injury caused by Reckless Conduct by Us or Our servants or agents, We exclude liability for all Excluded Recreational Liabilities arising out of the supply of Recreational Services. In this clause: Reckless Conduct has the meaning set out in section 139A(5) Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (‘CCA’) Excluded Recreational Liabilities means liabilities described in section 139(3) of the CCA which, without limitation, includes liability for death, physical or mental injury, or contraction or aggravation of any disease; and Recreational Services has the meaning set out in section 139A(2) of the CCA. Contributory Negligence Our liability will be reduced in proportion to any negligence or fault on Your part. Notification of Claims You agree to use all reasonable efforts to report any complaints or claims onboard, or otherwise bring the matter to Our attention as soon as possible. You acknowledge that failure to bring any matter to Our attention whilst onboard will limit Our ability to investigate the matter following Your cruise. 32. SEVERABILITY These Terms and Conditions must, so far as possible, be interpreted and construed so as not to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, but if a provision, on its true interpretations or construction is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable: A. that provision must so far as possible, be read down to the extent that it may be necessary to ensure that it is not illegal, invalid or unenforceable and as may be reasonable in all the circumstances so as to give it a valid operation; or B. if the provision or part of it cannot effectively be read down, that provision or part of it will be deemed to be void and severable and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will not in any way be affected or impaired and will continue notwithstanding that illegality, invalidity or unenforceability. 33.
