We learned our lesson, traveling to Copenhagen from EWR several years ago…. For a 24 day cruise. Luggage lost! Had meds with us.
We went to a department store and purchased all the essentials. Arrived at ship…no luggage. Husbands luggage showed up next day. Mine never did. The ship provided us free laundry. Sent clothes to be done every other day. At dinner, I wore my black travel pants with my husbands dressshirt as a cover up. No one ever commented about our attire. Most knew what happened.
We managed and learned to travel light on planes. Carry ons and backpacks only.
Fortunately, we we live in florida. So when we cruise now, no flying. But, we have learned to pack less.
