Letters which have not been called for before the steamer is berthed at Hoboken, are held by an official appointed for the purpose in the Company’s landing-stage at Hoboken and passengers are requested to inquire for them. The desk of this official will be recognized from a large placard bearing the inscription “Mail and Telegrams for Passengers’’.
Before leaving the steamer, passengers are recommended to inquire for mail at the Purser’s Office and to leave their address there, so that any letters arriving later may be forwarded. Passengers can have letters and telegrams forwarded to the care of any of the agents of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie.
The Company gladly undertakes the transmission or delivery of telegrams, letters, &c. intended for passengers; but owing to the immense number of such despatches forwarded to its care, must decline all responsibility, should such be inadvertently delayed or lost.
Letters that passengers wish to despatch from on board the steamer should be posted as early as possible before arrival of the steamer in the port in question, and the full name and address of the sender should be marked on the envelope.
Meals. Breakfast is served at 8:00 am, lunch at 1 21/2:00 pm, dinner at 6*/2:00 pm

The Wireless Telegraph Service.
T'he Wireless Station on board is almost daily in communication with all parts of the world either directly through the shore-stations, or indirectly by means of passing ships. The names of the shore-stations and of the ships with which communication is expected during the day, are posted every morning in different parts of the ship.
The address of a telegram from shore to a ship at sea must be drawn up as follows:
1. Name of receiver with any necessary addition,
2. Name of the ship and her nationality,
3. Name of the shore-station by the intermediary of which the telegram is to be forwarded.
At the conclusion of the address of wireless telegrams the service word "Radio" must be added, for example:

Telegrams from one ship to another only require the exact names of the passenger and the steamer.

Porter Service
Porter Service, Hamburg-American Line, 1913. GGA Image ID # 1ee4b6dfdc
Uniformed attendants to carry baggage to and from our docks and arrange small details of travel for a nominal fee.
For the convenience of ocean travelers by our line, and in order to eliminate the extortion that has been practised by some of the public porters, we have inaugurated a service of attendants to carry hand-baggage and perform similar services for our patrons. On days when our steamers arrive and sail, a staff of porters, wearing gray uniforms, upon the collars of which the word “Attendant“ appears, and red caps bearing “Hamburg America Line“ bands, will be stationed at our docks, the ferries and railroad terminals in Hoboken, to assist passengers.

Pennsylvania R. R., New York ... .
The attendants will accompany passengers to any part of New York to carry baggage, call carriages, and perform similar services. If a passenger will write or telegraph us, or telephone our office (1900 Rector) or our piers at Hoboken (770 Hoboken), one of the attendants will be sent to his home or hotel. As the porters are conversant with all formalities on the piers, the usual confusion upon arrival and departure practically will be eliminated, thus relieving the passenger of all annoyance and worry and avoiding loss of time. This service is especially valuable to large parties and ladies traveling alone, who can now make the journey to our piers, without anxiety. Besides English, many of the attendants also speak German.

Pleasure Cruises
arranged by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie
|3leasure Cruises were inaugurated by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie 21 years ago, and since then, they have rapidly approached perfection through the frequent introduction of fresh itineraries and the judicious use of all newly gained experience.
The largest of the steamers appointed by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie to carry out pleasure-cruises is the twin-screw steamer “Victoria Luise“, which was thoroughly overhauled and re-constructed, so as to specially adapt her for her purpose. Thus the “Victoria Luise“ was fitted with the anti-rolling tanks invented by the German shipbuilder Frahm, whereby the movement of the ship is considerably reduced. In addition to the roomy promenade-decks stretching along the whole length of the ship, the large ball-room, the gymnasium, swimming-baths for ladies and gentlemen, and a medical-bath-establishment are deserving of special mention.
The Hamburg-Amerika Linie brought about a considerable extension of their pleasure-cruise service by commissioning the twin-screw steamer “Meteor”, which was specially built for pleasure-cruising. Notwithstanding all the modern conveniences with which this steamer is fitted, her type of build and the comparatively small outlay required to work and maintain her, make it possible to reduce the fares for her cruises to a minimum. The “Meteor“ is also provided with anti-rolling tanks and is fitted with spacious and comfortable saloons.
The Company also employ in the pleasure-cruise service their favorite twin-screw steamers “Amerika“, “Cleveland“, “Cincinnati“, “Moltke“, “Kronprinzessin Cecilie“, “Fuerst Bismarck“ whenever required.
Furnished with such an excellent fleet, as is represented by these steamers the Hamburg-Amerika Linie is able to draw up a pleasure- cruise programme for 1913, which in variety surpasses the most successful undertakings of previous years.
All particulars concerning the itineraries and fares, are contained in the special pamphlets of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie, which may be obtained from the purser on board.
