ransrider Posted June 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Does anyone have advice on items left behind on a sailing? The story: One drawer in our cabin was left unchecked and all articles in that drawer were left behind--about $400 worth of hats, gloves and clothing. I called Celebrity and they said it is all thrown because of CDC rules. I do find it hard to believe they would throw away these items without trying first to contact the owner. We were in Seward all day and I wish Celebrity would have tried to make a call once the items were noticed. I also bought insurance and was told if Celebrity had a list of what was left behind that I could file a claim. Unfortunately, Celebrity does not even keep a list of these items. So bummed! I travel a lot and this is the first time I have ever left something behind and it is a frustrating feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to get an item listing from X to make a claim against your travel insurance? I would think that you make the list as to what was left and have X confirm that there were items left in the cabin and was thrown out as per regulation/policy. As for calling you directly about it, I Am sure many, many, many people leave items on board after a sailing and to make calls on each one is a daunting task. Had you realized it sooner, while in Seward, there may have been a possibility that something could have been done. bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would be tough to call and I wouldn't expect it, especially on the day they are disembarking/embarking some 5,000 guests.

Phxazzcruisers Posted June 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2016 They definitely have to throw away anything left behind in the room. They never know if it was accidental or intentional. Sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I don't believe that it's true that they throw away anything left behind. I have heard of cases where cameras, cell phones, and other things were left in the safe and the owners got them back. But I believe that with clothing, they do discard anything, no one knows who wore them before, and so they don't even give them to charity.
