Krooze Family Posted September 22, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2004 My daughter wants to send her class a post card from the ship. We are in Florida a day before we sail, does anyone know if they sell the Carnival Ship post cards at the Port? I'm just afraid if we wait until we get on board, that she will actually beat the postcard back to school. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the port that you mail from, she *will* most likely get back before the card arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstrybuf Posted September 22, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I have only seen the postcards available aboard the ship. As tef said, if you mail one from the ship, your daughter most likely will already be home before the postcard arrives. If you have the time, I suppose you could get off the ship and mail it before departure. If she wants it to have a foreign postmark, then you'll have to mail it aboard ship or from a port and it will still take longer than the cruise to arrive in most if not all cases.

kajsb Posted September 22, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2004 A purser once told me that before the ship leaves the port, they take all mail off the ship from the box by the purser's desk. So, when you board, find a postcard and have your daughter fill it out right away and drop it in the box. It should be taken off the ship prior to the ship leaving. You may want to check with the purser to see if this is still their procedure. If not, maybe as hstrybuf said, she can get off the ship real fast to mail her postcard before you leave.

sea_u_onboard Posted September 22, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2004 If you mention what ship maybe someone can get an extra and send it to you. All you have to do is mail it from the port before you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FengShuiBBturtle Posted October 2, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2004 OK...that TOTALLY cracks me up. We hit St. Martin and Nassau (worst damn hurricane in 40 years and I pick THAT week to go on a cruise!). That was on 9/11 sailing. Haven't seen any postacards yet...I realize they are from foreign ports...and nothing beats the USPS...BUT.........:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabrx Posted October 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I always send my postcards in an envelope and it gets there quicker. It's not on the bottom of the mail chain that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
