Sending package to ship?

[saraheli]

Thinking of going this route instead of packing my FE gifts in my luggage. Anyone have good or bad experience with this?? How far in advance can I ship my items?

You'll probably get a better response if you indicate which ship and which port.

I mailed my FE gifts. The box was 18x18x18 and weighed 28lbs. I used Fedex and mailed it on a Monday and our ship(Fantasy) left on Saturday. (Fedex said it would be delivered on Wednesday) The box was waiting in our room at 1:30, our luggage didnt show up til 4:30
I will be shipping FE's on our next cruise

There's some general info on the FAQ sticky above about sending boxes to PC. Some of it's a little outdated, but worthwhile reading it.

We shipped boxes to Port Canaveral in advance with no problem. They were either in our stateroom when we arrived, or delivered shortly.

I sent my FE gifts following the info in the sticky, although the box was not quite the exact size. I mailed it parcel post a month ahead and the box was in my cabin on arrival.

Can you ship things to Vancouver for the Alaskan cruises?

I don't believe so. DCL typically doesn't accept private deliveries in foreign ports.

I sent an email to DCL about shipping packages to Orlando. Here is the email they sent back.

I made body scrub for my FE's, do you think that "deams" food?
