Post card question

[DocF]

DW wants to know this. If one gives a post card to the purser's desk to have it mailed, will it be mailed at the next possible port? Any experience in this regard would be much appreciated.

Postcards can be mailed each day when the ship is in port. Due to customs regulations, any type of mail other than postcards, cannot be mailed from the ship; of course, letters and packages can be mailed from a local post office in the ports-of-call.

 

 

 

The postal regulations of the various ports require that the postcards be stamped with a local stamp only (no U.S. postage). The Purser's Information Desk sells local stamps.

 

 

 

There is a mailbox located at the Purser's Information Desk; one side is for postcards with "Foreign Stamps"; these postcards will be mailed when the ship docks at the appropriate port-of-call. The other side is for postcards with "U.S Stamps"; these postcards will be mailed from a U.S port only or when the ship returns to the U.S embarkation city, whichever comes first.

It will be mailed at the next port provided you have a local stamps on it. The pursers office sells stamps from every port it visits. American stamped mail will be held until it reaches an American port.

I can't say yes for Carnival, but when I cruised on Princess in January they did. However, I was back home for a couple of weeks before everyone got the cards. I forgot I had even sent them and I went in major depression that I wasn't back on the ship.:(

Thank you for the information. Carnival is somewhat like one of the suppliers I dealt with before I retired. All the information is there and that is great. The problem is all the information is there and finding one item is difficult to say the least.
