Missing mail from Oasis

[bradsnana]

Just wondering if anyone else had this issue.

While on Oasis in September, I mailed a postcard to my grandson from the ship. He has yet to receive it.

Sometimes that stuff does not get mailed till the ship comes back to its homeport. If you want something to go out then you should mail it yourself on a port day.

 

When my mom used to travel she used to mail stuff all the time from ships and land vacations. Sometimes it was a month or more after she got home before it showed up

What kind of postage did you put on it? I always put it in an envelope with a first class stamp on it. That way I knew it would reach its destination. Haven't mailed a postcard in several years but they always arrived before we got home!

Completely normal. I've read here of mail that took over 3 months to arrive to its destination.

Thanks everyone.....

I put a $1.00 stamp that I bought at guest services and put it in the outgoing mail. Hopefully it will turn up and surprise my grandson on a day he needs it the most.

Sending from island isn't much better. We mailed a post card from Antigua in May to ourself and got it in july

Several years ago my friend and I both left postcards at guest relations to be mailed - at the same time going to the same place. Hers arrived 2 weeks later, mine arrived 2 months later.

What an interesting experiment! Think I'll try it on my cruise this December. I'm curious about how long it will take during the holidays;)

I havent done it in a while but the last time I was on the Liberty back in 2011, I mailed some and people didnt get them for 2 1/2 months. So hang on it will get there sooner or later

I mailed one from Freedom in May to a friend and he has yet to receive it. I'm assuming it got lost in the mail, oh well. I'll send two next time. Maybe one will make it then :rolleyes:

My grandson finally received his postcard about 2 weeks ago.

One cruise I mailed a couple Post cards to a family member and work, only my sister received the card. From now on I mail once we arrive and drop it in a box nearby. We were 15 days at sea btw.

I gave up on mailing postcards from the ship, years ago. They usually reached their destination around the time I was getting ready to leave on my NEXT cruise! :D Since I don't like to have to deal with foreign postage, I usually look for a US port on my itinerary, and mail all my postcards from there. For instance, in St. Thomas, the shuttles to the shopping district drop you off right by the US Post Office, there -- very convenient! :cool: If we don't stop in a US port, I hang onto my post cards and mail them as soon as I get back to the states -- many have arrived with a Ft. Lauderdale post-mark. :p

Can I ask everyone where I get the postage from on the ship? I'd like to send a postcard to my in laws and sister from my son!

I mailed 3 postcards from the post office at the Fort Lauderdale airport after our cruise this past January. 1 arrived 2 months later and the other 2 still have not arrived. We thought we'd drop them off at the airport instead of on the cruise ship as they would arrive faster. We were wrong!
