Hi Folks!

I am a collector of all types of postcards of vessels.
I have some... there are so many postcards I wish I could have but do not have such QM1 and QM2, QE1, United States, Constitution and Independence, Michelangelo and Raffaello, TITANIC, Olympic, etc etc.
As these Foruns have so many travellers, can anyone give me a helping hand to increase and improve my collection with more postcards?
Address your repalies to my e-mail: carlorodrigues@hotmail.com

One of the largest collections of postcards I have ever seen, including some of the classic liners you mentioned, was at the Rotterdam maritime museum. The shop there is a real treasure trove, although the museum is currently only partially open. If you ever get a chance drop by there.

Some Postcards will be waiting for you in your cabin. If you run out shelly, the Purser deck will give you more. If you post them onboard they are stamped "posted onboard the QM2".

Please do return to us shelly with a full report!

Not to worry. I will report in full, and hope I can do as good and honest a job as you did! I will be on the "Romantic" itinerary, so it will be the first of the NYC to Caribbean runs. Hope they have their act together. I just have to figure out how I "email" a report here for posting, or if I have to wait until I get home to "post" it.

And Malcolm, being a bit of a "twitcher" myself, the bird story was cute, if a bit staged.
