jks336 Posted April 26, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2012 http://www.carnival.com/Funville/forums/t/223975.aspx just read this on carnival's roll call page. first time this person has even posted. I do feel bad that they lost their money and had to cancel the rest of their trip after their cruise. but good warning to other first timers out there to NOT do this. I almost wonder if this is the first time they have ever traveled. I have NEVER left important things in a suitcase/carryon ever. it is always on my person. stupid stupid.. soooo, for all first timers.. do be aware of something like this.

firefly333 Posted April 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It should just be common sense to not leave money where it can walk off. Dont put electronics in checked luggage, as that has also walked off. Dont set a box of booze out when you set out your suitcase the last night. (someone said they didnt check, and when they got home the bottles were half empty, or changed, other reports). Use your head and dont leave your common sense at home. Each cabin on Carnival has a safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishman45 Posted April 26, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I feel bad for what happened to them, But don't understand one part of the story: "TSA notice of baggage inspection inside clearly showing that they did open luggage and performed a manual inspection." When did TSA start working at cruise terminals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herfnerd Posted April 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Sucks that their vacation was ruined but half of the blame - if not more, is on their shoulders...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted April 26, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yep, I agree that they took advantage of a "novice cruiser", but I can't imagine letting your valuables,,,especially CASH out of your sight! Lesson learned,,the hard way. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwood24 Posted April 26, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2012 really...unbelieveable.... why on earth would someone put ANY valuables anywhere that is out of their sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianaseadog Posted April 26, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It is a shame but not surprising. I like others cant believe someone would put such valuables in a carry on or suitcase. Heck, my DW wont even let her makeup out of sight!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillPooh Posted April 26, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I feel bad for what happened to them, But don't understand one part of the story: "TSA notice of baggage inspection inside clearly showing that they did open luggage and performed a manual inspection." When did TSA start working at cruise terminals? They haven't. The TSA notice was in one of the large checked bags, which was presumably opened in the airport. I'm not sure this guy should be allowed out without a minder, if he thinks handing over unlocked valuables to a dock worker is reasonable behavior. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_girl2002 Posted April 26, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 26, 2012 i dont understand people :rolleyes: why...WHY would you ever check valuables or leave them out of your sight?!?!? its like we say in the airline industry, people loose their brains or check their brains the second they step into an airport. I worked a flight a few months ago and a passenger (military flight) came to me and said her wallet was missing. the rest of the flight (4 hours left of flight) we looked under all the seats, lifted up all the seat cushions checked seat back pockets. her credit cards, military id, EVERYTHING was gone. then she told us she put her wallet into a pillow case!! :eek: WHAT!!! so being the great flight attendants we are (:D) we opened up EVERY single bag of trash and found the wallet!!! people just dont think!!! then they go on and blame everybody else for their stupidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runaway Parent Posted April 26, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Not to be a doubter, but there is NO WAY they got on the ship without something. We've ALWAYS been asked to present the exact same credit card we used for online registration. We've never put down cash, so I don't know for sure, but I would think if they wanted my CC for expenses before I boarded, wouldn't they want cash as well? Or is cash collected once on board?

They collect the cash for your SS card at the terminal, I think. I was wondering how they got on board without ID and a boarding pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryanhoop Posted April 26, 2012 #22 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's not fair to blame the poster for someone else stealing their belongings. I hate this mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted April 26, 2012 #23 Share Posted April 26, 2012 As I understand it TSA does have jurisdiction at cruise terminals but for the foreseeable future are channeling their efforts to airports. I do know for sure that cruise employees do not have TSA keys (I had a roomie who locked her keys in her bag, and then had to have the lock cut off to get to the keys). Add the keys to the lock as another thing not to put in your checked LOCKED bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
