For Sailing Guests- Important Info

[holstang]

Hi Girls,

 

I just wanted to inform you all about some info I received from our baggage handler a couple weeks ago. While we were checking our bags in, our handler told us to make sure to put on your tags the following information ONLY:

 

Your Name

Sail Date

Cabin Number

Ship Name

 

Apparently some of the shadier handlers will use information on your luggage tags such as your address and phone number to rob you while you are on vacation!

 

He said there was a poor old lady that would come to the port every Sunday to protest, because Carnival said they were not responsible, and they cleaned her out! Just wanted to pass this information on, because it's so important! Needless to say, we spent an extra 10 minutes making sure we took off all of this info from our bags. If this helps one person, then I feel a lot better!

This is a good rule of thumb any time you travel! It is best to put your name and cell phone number on your luggage tag when traveling--never put a home address. A cell phone number would allow someone who finds your bag (if misplaced) a way to contact you. Remember that anyone who is even close to your bag would have access to all information on your luggage tags (baggage handlers, security screeners, other passengers in line or at baggage claim, etc.).

Had to bring this back to life.. ALWAYS take it(airplane tags) off before you get to the Cruise port... We ALL must watch out for our self/safety...

Shatima,

You win the prize for "digging in the archives". LOL. Good info, keep 'em coming. I didn't even think of this. I was kind of feeling uneasy about a wedding website because of this notion.

I'd never really thought of that, although it does make complete sense. I'll have to let our guests know to limit what they put on their luggage tags.

 

Thanks, Shatima!
