Calling the Ship: Okay, I would love to hear your voice while I'm sailing, but it's terribly expensive. Because I will be living on a very limited budget, I do not plan to make calls, nor will I have a cell phone. However, if you would like to speak to me despite costs, dial the following toll-free number 1-877-266-0986. You will be asked to provide a credit card number and charged approximately $3.95 USD per minute. A shipboard operator will answer the call and connect you directly to my cabin (note: charges initiate as soon as the shipboard operator receives the call).
Sending Mail to the Ship: Alright, I think writing a letter is much more economical than calling—besides I can keep memories forever with a letter! Currently the U.S. Post Office recommends sending international mail at least two weeks in advance. Please keep in mind that mail service in other countries may vary. Snail mail letters/cards should be sent by airmail only. Please do not send any mail to the Institute for Shipboard Education or to the University of Virginia to be forwarded. Do not enclose currency in the mail. Please do not send packages to the ship because excessive duty is charged in some countries. In many instances, packages are not delivered to the ship. Packages may be held in customs, or at a local post office, and the recipient aboard ship is never notified. If you send packages, you do so at your own risk.
