Can I send mail from/to the ship?

Can I send mail from the ship?

Yes, a Concierge Postage Service is available on board.

You are able to send mail (letters and postcards not packages or parcels) from the ship by visiting the Purser's Office and handing your mail over, where it will be stamped with the ship's rubber postage stamp and passed ashore at the earliest opportunity where it will then be sent via standard mail processes to your friends and family back home.

Mail will be taken ashore 2 hours prior to departure, or 3 hours prior to departure when the ship is anchored off shore and a tender operation is in place.

A fixed postal rate will be charged to your on board account for each item sent. The amount of which varies, dependant on the cruise itinerary. Details will be made available to you on board.

Should you have already placed postage stamps on your mail, these will still be collected from The Purser's Office and passed ashore with all other mail. If your mail already has the correct postage on it for the next port of call then it can be either handed into the Purser's Office or placed in the Post Box which is located outside the Golden Lion Pub . Alternatively, standard postal service are available ashore.

For guests in Queens Grill and Princess Grill suites, the ship's Concierge will handle all mail at your request.

Cunard can not be held accountable for any post that is not received or lost.

Fly Cruise

Please be advised post room do send mail out to the ships during Fly Cruise season, we request crew members give family members the details of the Port Agent in the turnaround port, to keep the amount we send out as more 'Official Company Mail'.  We generally state documents are fine, but when it comes to gifts etc Customs can cause us lots of problems.  We have to open everything and list all items.  We are not allowed to send any food items, so these always have to be removed.
