AZWTRLVR Posted June 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Occasionally I send mail to a crew member who is a special friend. I am in Arizona, he is on the Nieuw Amsterdam which is presently sailing out of Vancouver for the season. I recently sent mail to him through the Seattle office as I always have. He hasn't received it in three weeks (just to Vancouver) and I want to send another so I called HAL Seattle to doublecheck on the address I used since they have moved into a new location. I will not relate here what I went through to get the correct information - typical HAL - but eventually I received it The new address for all future correspondence with HAL is 450 Third Avenue West Seattle, WA 98119. I hope this makes sense so you can update your records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted June 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Thank you for the information. We have gotten a couple of brochures the last couple of weeks and I never thought to check to see if there was a new address listed in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retafcruiser Posted June 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Occasionally I send mail to a crew member who is a special friend......I recently sent mail to him through the Seattle office as I always have. So the Seattle office will forward mail to ANY crew member employed by HAL? Is there a specific way to address the envelope? I would imagine the crew member's name and ship name; anything else?

Rare richwmn Posted June 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2017 If you time it correctly, you can also send mail and packages to the crew member in care of the Port Agent at the turnaround point (Fort Lauderdale, San Diego, Boston etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZWTRLVR Posted June 10, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted June 10, 2017 So the Seattle office will forward mail to ANY crew member employed by HAL? Is there a specific way to address the envelope? I would imagine the crew member's name and ship name; anything else? Over the years I have sent mail to my friend, always through HAL main office. I address it to him and include his title, the department, and the ship. Sometimes it took awhile to catch up with him, especially if the ship was in Europe, Asia, etc. With today's technology we usually communicate by Facebook messenger.

AZWTRLVR Posted June 10, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted June 10, 2017 One of the people I talked with at HAL mentioned sending mail to the turnaround port. My question, where do you get the address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
