Enjoy your cruise experience safely and responsibly
CruiseVibe Australia is committed to promoting responsible enjoyment of all on-board entertainment and leisure activities. Whether you are enjoying an evening at a table entertainment lounge, sampling the cocktail bar programme, or taking part in any other adult activity at sea — we encourage all guests to do so mindfully and within their personal limits.
Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending on entertainment activities for the duration of your voyage. Stick to your pre-set limit and treat it as a fixed leisure expense — just like your shore excursion budget or your spa allowance.
On-board entertainment venues are designed to be immersive and time can pass quickly. Set a personal time limit for your session and honour it. Take regular breaks to enjoy other aspects of your cruise — the ocean views, the dining, the entertainment shows.
Alcohol and activity at sea can be dehydrating. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water or soft drinks, ensure you eat a proper meal before an evening of entertainment, and pace your alcohol consumption responsibly throughout the evening.
If you are travelling with friends, look out for each other. Agree on a plan for the evening, check in with each other regularly, and support one another in maintaining sensible limits. Cruise ships are social environments — use that community to your advantage.
Entertainment should always be enjoyable. If you find yourself spending more than you intended, feeling frustrated or chasing losses, stop immediately and move on to another activity. The ship offers countless other ways to spend your evening — live shows, stargazing, a walk on the deck, or simply a great cocktail at the bar.
If you are concerned about your relationship with entertainment activities — or those of a fellow passenger — please speak to a member of the ship's crew. All major cruise lines employ trained welfare staff who can provide confidential support and guidance.
If you or someone you know needs support related to responsible entertainment habits, the following Australian services offer free, confidential assistance:
On board the ship, the Guest Services desk can connect you with trained welfare personnel at any time of day or night. You can also speak directly with the Ship's Doctor or Purser.
All adult entertainment venues — including table entertainment lounges and adult-only social spaces — on Australian cruise ships strictly require guests to be a minimum of 18 years of age. Valid government-issued photo identification (passport or driver's licence) is required for access. This policy is non-negotiable and is enforced consistently throughout the voyage.
CruiseVibe Australia fully supports the enforcement of age restrictions and encourages all cruise guests to carry identification at all times when intending to access adult facilities.
