Shipboard Environment There are some inherent features of travel by cruise ship which you should be prepared for. Some noises and vibrations are associated with the normal operation of the ship. Maintenance may occur in certain areas of the ship while you are onboard which may affect access to these areas. Weather conditions may also require us to restrict access to certain areas of the ship for safety reasons. 11. Ship & itinerary changes We will do everything We reasonably can to make sure everything goes according to plan; however, sometimes changes can happen that may affect Your holiday experience. 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 voyage due to operational or commercial requirements. We will notify You of these changes as soon as We can. If We are forced to cancel the 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 a significant change is made 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 paid. 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. 12.

Grill categories will be charged US$13.50 per guest per day and Britannia categories US$11.50 per guest per day.

A 15% charge is automatically added to a guest’s onboard account for Bar, Wine & Salon/Spa services for each purchase. 13. Travel Insurance We strongly recommend You purchase appropriate international travel insurance at the time 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 may not be able to claim for any cancellation charges, medical costs, repatriation and other expenses that may arise if things do not go according to plan. 14.

They are also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for medical emergencies. Our Medical Centre is only for medical needs arising on board and cannot cater for treatments that You know You will require while on holiday.

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. Although Our responsibility is on board the ship, where We arrange these services for You, We will assist in addressing any concerns You may have. 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.

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 on board 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 on board, 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, wellbeing and enjoyment of everyone on board comes first. 30. Leaving the voyage early If You are required or choose to leave the voyage 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 after a port visit in time for sailing. If We assist You with any costs, You will need to repay Us on Your return. In addition, You will not be entitled to any refunds. 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. Contributory Negligence Our liability will be reduced in proportion to any negligence or fault on Your part. 32.Notification of Claims You agree to use all reasonable efforts to bring the issue to report any complaints or claims on board, or otherwise bring the matter to Our attention as soon as possible. You acknowledge that failure to bring any matter to Our attention whilst on board will limit Our ability to investigate the matter following Your cruise. These Booking and Passage 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 Booking and Passage Conditions will not in any way be affected or impaired and will continue notwithstanding that illegality, invalidity or unenforceability. 33. Choice of law and jurisdiction This contract is governed by the laws in force in New South Wales. You agree that any action You bring against Us will be brought in Australia.

Cunard Environmental Statement Here at Cunard We take Our environmental responsibilities very seriously and are committed to reducing Our environmental impact. We are dedicated to preserving the marine environment in which We operate, and therefore believe it is Our duty to introduce environmental practices which set a high standard of excellence and responsibility. To support Our aim We have developed an environmental management system independently certified to ISO 14001, which is the most widely recognised global standard for improving environmental performance. We recognise that without appropriate treatment, the waste generated on board Our ships, together with the fuel and other products We use to transport, feed, entertain and take care of You could have an impact on the environment. Our waste treatment facilities ensure that all waste is appropriately managed to minimise its impact upon the oceans. All general waste is treated on board to reduce its volume prior to landing ashore and, whenever possible, general waste is recycled. We are reducing Our air emissions through the implementation of fuel efficiency measures, including improved hull coatings, low energy lamps, increased recirculation of waste heat and improved efficiency in air conditioning and We continue to explore new technologies. Through these measures and other initiatives, Cunard will ensure that We help preserve Our environment for future generations. 36.
