lanord Posted May 25, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It has been more than 10 years since I was on a cruise, so I need my memory refreshed. Can you send mail from "foreign" ports, in this particular case, Bermuda, using US stamps, or do you need to buy stamps there? I want to send postcards during the trip, and will purchase stamps before departing US, unless you have to use Bermuda stamps. I recall that the ship has a mailing facility, but I just can't remember about the stamps !! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted May 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2005 No you can't use US stamps as this is not American territory. You can get a special foreign return stamp from the post office...but its much more expensive. They will sell you stamps on the ship...but you can also buy them in the ports in Bermuda there is a post office at each port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted May 25, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2005 this is what I meant International Reply Coupons International reply coupons (IRCs) provide foreign addressees with a prepaid means of responding to inquiries, solicitations, or other types of communications that are initiated by U.S. senders. IRCs are exchangeable for postage stamps at post offices in all foreign countries that are members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). Each IRC is equivalent in value to the destination country's minimum postage rate for an unregistered airmail letter. The purchase price is $1.75 per coupon. Buy the stamps in Bermuda...

lanord Posted May 25, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Thank you, smeyer. I was thinking the stamps had to be bought where the mail orginates, but old age set in, and I just couldn't remember !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
