Do you use the stateroom safe?

I trust the safe in my Ships Cabin. However, Hotels are a different story. Here is why.

A few years ago another couple was to join us on Grand Med Cruise and we agreed to arrive 5 days early at the port.

We had found a really nice hotel and signed up for a double suite, two bedrooms with attached baths, a fully stocked kitchen, and a living room plus balcony. And a Safe.

My friend and I had agreed to use my secret safe code of 1=2=3=4 star :D so either of us could access the safe any time. On the second day I closed the safe door with a hard push and the safe moved. Say what? I pushed on it again and it move some more. Then I pulled on it and the safe almost fell off the shelf it was sitting. It was not bolted down.

I knocked on the other bedroom door and showed my friend what I had found out. From that time on we carried our pass ports, credit cards, etc under our shirts until we boarded the ship.

And, since then, I hit the safe in any hotel room I stay in before entering my access code.

Well, you could have put your things in the safe and then hidden the safe under the bed...:evilsmile:

Yes, however with my luck, room service would notice the missing safe and Hotel Security would be waiting for me in the lobby when I came back. And, English would not be a language they were fluent in.

I have experienced that with some hotel safes too.
