Can someone on Ruby Princess now help me?

If you are on the Ruby Princess now, can you help me?

 

I don't know what happened, but we lost a pair of men's size 8.5 black leather dress shoes (slip on loafer type dress shoes) in our cabin. We were in cabin D111. My son wore them for the formal night (5th night of our cruise). He took them off after the formal dinner and left them on the floor in the closet. I haven't seen them since. I thought my son had packed them and my son thought I had packed them. I checked all the floor space in the closet and on the floor under the desk and around the bed. What I didn't do is shine a light under the bed to make sure we got everything.

 

I just unpacked everything and did not see that pair of shoes.

 

The shoes look sort of like these:

I am quite upset since it is the only pair of dress shoes that fit my son. My husband told me I should just let them go. But I am not happy with the fact that our room steward was slow in our service the entire 7 days we were on the cruise, but decided to be efficient the morning of our disembarkation. He rushed us to get out of our room. We were late getting back to our room before 8 after a very slow dining room service. I did tell him to start cleaning around our suitcases. But as soon as we got back to our room, he called his boss to come reprimand us for being late out of the room. I was so embarrassed that we rushed out of the room. I now wished that I had looked around the room some more. I really don't understand how those shoes would just disappeared from closet floor.

 

Can someone on the Ruby go to Lost and Found on Passenger Services on the 6th floor and help me locate those shoes?

 

Thank you!

You can also contact Princess. They will contact the ship for you.

On turnaround day all found items are marked and boxed up. They are sent to Santa Clarita and processed. It would do no good to check on the ship now.

Contact lost and found @ Princess cruises .com

Thank you for letting me know.

 

I will contact princess directly.

 

I don't think my room steward will clean the room thoroughly at turnaround to have found the shoes. It is more likely that the next passengers in our room will find them. If that's the case, the missing shoes will be boxed up with the items found during the Hawaiian sailing, and not the Pacific Coastal sailing.

 

I'm just wondering what are the chance that I will see those shoes again?! Should I just forget them and buy my son another pair?

 

Has anyone received lost items from the ship after they disembarked?

I had an item left in my stateroom from my Emerald cruise at the end of Feb.

It was confirmed found and returned to Santa Clarita.

I filled out the forms and sent in the claim.

They do make a good point, there are 17 ships and tons of items left every cruise. Its a logitstical nightmare. We shall see.

 

I am still waiting. :mad:

We left a camera on the Caribbean Princess last year.

 

Filled out the form and received the camera from HQ in about 4 weeks.

 

SYstem does work.

Much depends on if the person who found them turned them in to lost and found or just threw them out.
