cruisecruzer Posted January 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi, Somebody was telling me that we should go with a Princess excursion since they've run into immigration issues in Hobart and that will delay you getting off the ship. Does anyone know if that's true? Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if that's true? Annie If you are coming from Melbourne on your way to N.Z. you will not be subject to immigration as Tasmania is part of Australia. If you are coming from N.Z. and Hobart is your first port of call then everyone will be subject to Australian immigration. Perhaps those going on Princess excursions have priority over the rest of the ship which seems unfair. Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Gal Posted January 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I imagine that you would have to pick up the hire car from the city depot which is only about a 10 minute walk from the port. The city is very close to where the cruise ship will be docked. As I have never arrived into Hobart by ship I cannot help with how they organize immigration.
