Turkey

Just read the following. I don't know if this will affect cruises to Turkey or if there  is even any cruises that go to Turkey. Maybe some of you might just be going there on a land based holiday.

Pretty sure that doesn't apply to cruises that are only there for a day.

From the Turkish gov website

 

According to the Law on Foreigners and International Protection which entered into force on 11th April 2014, those foreigners who arrive at sea ports and intend to visit the seaport city or nearby provinces for touristic purpose are exempt from visa provided that their stay does not exceed seventy two (72) hours. However, if you arrive in/depart from our country by air for your cruise, you must obtain a visa.

It's also common sense advice. I carry hard copies of all of my paperwork just in case something goes wrong. E tickets are fine but it's comforting to have a piece of paper to hand.
