Dayenu Posted December 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2012 In this thread the poster says, she picked up the wrong bag. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1755142 So I want to remind everybody, put a piece of paper inside with at least your name and phone number! I always type up my name, phone, hotel name and address going on vacations, and bring another page with my name, phone, work adress coming back (not our home address for safety reasons!)

Bonnie J. Posted December 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2012 We always put my business card in our luggage. It has my cell, voice & fax numbers plus our address on it. It just stays in our luggage, never take it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I put my itinerary inside the bag with my email address as we do not have a cell number hopefully someone would be able to contact the ship or airline depending on where we we are headed to say where the bag is Name & email is on the luggage tag as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted December 24, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Very good advice, OP. We always have a cell number and full itinerary in the front pockets of our luggage and place a copy on the very top inside each suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted December 24, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 24, 2012 When we leave from home -- I have our hotel number and street address and our personal information inside the suitcases. Going to the ship I change to the ship's name and our personal information. Going home -- time to change information sheets again to our home address, etc. We have been doing this for years and years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2012 You should NEVER put your home address....a thief will know that if your luggage is out and about, you probably are, too! That makes your home an easy target! A phonecall to a "cohort" in your town is all it takes! Put your business address, if you MUST put an address at all!

Bonnie J. Posted December 24, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2012 My card that I put in all our suitcases is my business card, with my business address but phone numbers I can be reached at. The Hotel Director's wife lost two of her three suitcases going home to Guatamalla (sp!) in August. Charleton, SC is the home port of the ship. One was found shortly there after. The third one was found, in Texas, at the end of November! But her ID was on it and she got everything back, just took three months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted December 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Every time I travel, which is constantly for work, I put a piece of paper with the following: Name Phone Fights and Dates Hotel(s), incl address and phone Work address and home airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted December 25, 2012 #10 Share Posted December 25, 2012 We put a phone number in our bag as well with other contact information. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suitcasefull Posted December 25, 2012 #11 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Every time I travel, which is constantly for work, I put a piece of paper with the following: Name Phone Fights and Dates Hotel(s), incl address and phone Work address and home airport I saw a similiar suggestion on CC and put this info (both cell phones....not home) plus hotel and date there for precruise night, the ship and date sailing and ship contact number. Used a bright pink piece of paper on top of clothing (under straps) in suitcase so if opened, couldn't be missed. Beats having them rummage for a card.

6andy6 Posted December 25, 2012 #12 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I think you may have been watching too many television shows.:) Just what I was thinking...:rolleyes: They prolly have yearly conventions as well where they network and form 'alliances' with thief's from other towns and can offer a nationwide 'pick up' service...

Since the board does not have a "like" feature. Business Address not home address--ever. If you do not have a business address use your church or school as a return address.

ducklite Posted December 26, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 26, 2012 My name and cell number are written on the outside of my luggage in Sharpie. If you don't want to mar the luggage, put a couple strips of duct tape on the luggage and write on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
