Question about Canadian postage...

[akh40]

I have promised my kids I will mail them a postcard every day (I know, I know! LOL) and I have U.S. postcard stamps already. We are cruising to Alaska, so I know I can use those stamps to mail postcards from those ports, but what about Vancouver and Victoria? Is there a place to buy Canadian postcard stamps in the Vancouver airport? How much are they? Postcard rate in the U.S. is currently 23 cents. Thanks in advance.

You can mail your postcards directly at the purser's desk and they will sell you the correct postage for the current port.

[Are we there yet?]

According to Canada Post the price for sending a postcard is 85 cents to the US. This is in Canadian currency.

There are a number of stores in this airport, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of them sold stamps. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.:)

Thanks for the replies and the information. It will be fun for my kids to get postcards while I'm gone, they'll probably still be getting them even after I get back! :)
