robing Posted April 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2004 We were on Millennium recently sailing from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego and had a really nice time. We posted cards using the ship's bank early on the journey, it seemed such a convenient way of doing so, and have just found out that they kept them and posted them in San Diego, which was a bit of a surprise and not what we expected. No wonder no-one has thanked us for their cards! Be aware. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjerryw Posted April 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2004 That's frequently the case as many passengers put U.S. stamps on their postcards so they can only be mailed when the ship gets back to a U.S. port.

newtocc Posted April 19, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2004 This is what I do, after drinking your smuggled Champagne, put a small note inside the bottle, throw it over the side, and in a few years your friends will get their note, you save 37 cents and your friends are amazed at being contacted by a total stranger! Was that the longest runon sentence you've ever seen?

robing Posted April 20, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted April 20, 2004 We didn't put any stamps on, that was the point, we let Celebrity do it for us. A mistake clearly. We assumed that they would put local stamps on for us and post them the same day. We should have asked how they were going to do the mailing but it is easy to be wise after the event.
