Bahama Post Office Holidays

[Mozart]

Recently, I read a thread that said that the post office on Castaway Cay is shut down at the times when they have a national holiday. I was wondering if this would interfere with our Sept cruise, since they have different holidays than we do.

According to what I can gather, the following appears to be the cruises for which the Castaway Cay post office will be shut down. Just figured I'd share:

7 Day on the Magic sailing April 1st.
4 Day on the Wonder sailing July 8th.
7 Day on the Magic sailing October 7th.
4 Day on the Wonder sailing Dec 23rd. (Christmas day on Castaway Cay!)

I may be wrong about these, someone please correct me if you see an error.

DW and I were on CC on Christmas day 2006 and the post office was indeed closed. Since we always mail ourselves post cards home from there we were told (from the sign on the PO door) to head to guest services on the boat for CC stamps. They would then send the mail to Grand Bahama as they normally would for any other postal run from CC.

I would assume since they were closed on 12/25 and any other US national holiday would be the same.
