Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted September 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2022 In Seattle, there is a dedicated team of folks who only deal with lost/left behind luggage. Nearly every cruise day, a FED EX driver arrives late in the day to collect luggage to be shipped to passengers (at what I believe is the passenger's expense). They really do care about reuniting lost luggage with their owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted September 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If you have your name/address info inside the luggage, they will eventually get it back to you if they find it. Otherwise, it ends up in a huge warehouse ( I believe in Alabama) where it will be "flea-marketed" to anyone who wants to buy the contents.

Jerseygirl1416 Posted September 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I think someone may have taken your bag instead of their own. Hopefully when they get home and realize it they’ll contact RC and explain so they can get their own bag back. They can use Fed Ex or other services. The airlines have to send bags all the time that get delayed. Edited September 4, 2022 by Jerseygirl1416 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loman Posted September 5, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I just bought two apple air tags and we have info on the inside of the luggage . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted September 5, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Most modern luggage has closed pockets to hold a concealed name tag. Make sure you have that filled in with the correct name and phone number. I also place a copy of that info on the inside. I've never had a problem, but I like to be prepared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We called Customerservice as soon as we got home which was Saturday and they said we would have to call Lost and Found which is closed on Saturday and Sunday. So we still have not talked to anybody about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleueyes44 Posted September 5, 2022 #24 Share Posted September 5, 2022 My bag got misplaced in Fort Lauderdale about 7 years ago. We searched everywhere no bag , so I gave a description and figured it would eventually be found. It was found 2 weeks later at the Princess Terminal, still don't know how in the world it got there. The company that handles these cases shipped it back to us. I do have to add at the time we were smokers and had 4 cartons of cigarettes in the suitcase. I not knowing told the agent they were in the bag well they had to remove them cause it's against the law to send cigarettes via mail. The agent told me I could fly out to get them otherwise they would be disposed of. I'm on the other side of the country so I told him to toss them.

UKWLDCruise Posted September 5, 2022 #25 Share Posted September 5, 2022 coming off the ship at Miami another passenger took my suitcase instead of theirs. Even though they had one suitcase left after everyone left, after they confirmed it wasn't in the building they made me wait, RC were not that much help. After three weeks it was found but it was Delta that got in touch, it seems whoever took it flew Delta but abandoned the case at an airport. Delta put it on a plane to Heathrow and I had to be escorted airside and make a declaration that there could be anything in my case and I would like it searched. Nothing added in the end but one item removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
