Sending Money Home Thru Wire Transfers

David asks about money transfers:

Is there something like a Western Union on board? I know we can have direct deposit, but some of my bills I absolutely HAVE to send money back for.

There’s no way to transfer money directly from the ship – at least no way that I’ve heard of. Your best bet is to find a location in port that will wire the money for you. Try the link below, it looks like you can look up international Western Union locations there:

I once wired money from Norway and it worked just fine. I find wire transfers a little expensive, but it was before my direct deposit had been set up and there was no way around it. I think you’ll find, as I did, that it’s just as convenient to wire money in international port cities as it is from home.
