Rare www3traveler Posted July 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Serious answer: My guess would that valuable items are send to Miami and attempts are made to return the item (s) to guest reporting missing item to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOFamilyof4 Posted July 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Last September we were on the Sky and found foreign money in the safe. We took it to Guest Services, where they documented, counted and had us sign off on the amount of money and room number. They said if it was not claimed it after a month it would be sent to HQ in Miami and if it was still not claimed after 4 months it would be donated to a local charity. I do not know if that is true, but that is what we were told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeagoingMom Posted July 21, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Of course I know nothing about it, but the airlines sell unclaimed/lost luggage and contents to a retail outlet in Alabama. https://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/ Perhaps cruiselines do the same? (Though this store does not specifically say it sells unclaimed stuff from anything but airlines...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershep Posted July 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I worked for a large corporation who would donate unclaimed items after a certain time to charity. These items usually came from when an employee left their position or died. Items would be bagged and tagged, sent to the Personnel Department where they were stored.
