sending post cards from cruise ships to the US
Is it possible to send post cards from the cruise ships to the US? If so,
would they have the appropriate stamps on board or even post cards? We would like to send post cards when we go on our European cruise next year as that is the souvenirs that our friends would like. If not, would it be possible to find post offices near the docs or do you think if we paid someone of the cruise staff to mail them for us, they woud do so? Sandy |

Sandy Buy the post cards and mail them when you get home. Most likely you'll have been home a month before anyone gets them anyway. Some souvenir shops will have local postage stamps available and will mail the postcards for you, but don't count on finding too many. Asking someone to do it for you will probably not work. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Sandy They will accept your post cards on the ship,but will not mail them until they return to port. The best thing to do is mail them from your port that you are in. Who ever you send them to will not get them until long after you are back. If you are going to mail them from the port that you visit make sure you mail them from a post office out let or you will just be giving your mony away. |

On the ships have been on the Customer Service desk had aooroptiate
stamps and were happy to mail them BUT it inot cheap. They have a service charge for mailings You can usually find POs close to the port. Just ask for a port map and they will be marked. ~~Doris~~ |

I would make an effort to find a post office in the port so your post cards have the foreign stamps and postmark. I would not ask someone else to do it for you, that could have very poor results. It wasn't quite Europe, but last year when we went on a cruise before the holidays, we brought our holiday cards with us and mailed them at the post office in San Juan. I thought it would be cute to have the PR postmark. Sadly, I think only one person noticed it (at least only one person mentioned it). Bill |

Bill If you don't think it is out of the country, talk to your insurance agent about whether they will pay for health claims. It is definitely out of the country. Might be owned by us but not "in" the country. |

Puetro rico is still part of USA, maybe your heath insurance sees it as out of network but it is not a foreign country.
