LRene Posted May 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2012 We did the same thing once. My granddaughter picked up the wrong purple suitcase and the porters actually loaded the luggage in the car so we didn't realize it until we got home. My DIL called the number on the tag and told them she was sending it to them via UPS that day, which she did. Carnival hires a company in each port to handle all the luggage that's not claimed. Apparently, theres quite a bit. It took them two days to find ours which they said they were sending to us. Great service, until we got the luggage and the $55 COD bill that came with it! It was our fault and we were glad to pay but you would have thought they were doing us a favor the way they talked while never mentioning the cost. oh well... In the end, travel insurance reimbursed us which surprised me. Moral to the story - always have tags on your luggage with your contact info.

I've heard about cruiselines shipping, but it didn't occur to me the receiver paying shipping. It makes sense though. Imagine the cost to a cruiseline to do this for everything left behind. If it weren't for those charges, it could become an easy way for cruisers to get their luggage home free and not have to bother picking it up.

Someone could just leave their bag and have it shipped to their door without having to hassle with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would never do that. :eek: :p :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
