One of the world cruise bloggers (Boone) mentioned that Luggage Forward had opened their bag and removed magnetic hooks. I didn't see magnets as one of their prohibited items. Did anyone else have this problem? With all the recommendations to bring wall magnets, Laura is wondering whether we need to reorder our magnets and bring them with us to LA. Thanks and Merry Christmas Paul We did not throw our magnetic hooks into that bag, but the ones we brought with us. After reading the instructions, I decided to play things safe and the luggage we sent only included clothes and shoes. Everything else was brought on the flight with us, or we bought in a Target run in FL. The hooks are definitely an advantage, I’d reorder them and bring them with you. They keep a lot up off the floor. Luggage Forward did open our luggage. We received it unlocked, with sand all over the inside.

Who did you have as your guide? We had Juan and he was excellent! Also - was the Virgin ship the Scarlet Lady? We did a short cruise on her in January. Very different from Viking in about every way, but we had a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guide Patrick was excellent and he pointed out that the rain was actually a good thing as it washed away the dust and we could see shards of pottery and bits of obsidian. A really good first expedition yes that was the scarlet lady. I can only imagine how different that would be. cheers daryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping them in my thoughts... I have not heard about them specifically...we met another couple from Brisbane who just boarded in Cozumel yesterday after 4 days of traveling.and have no luggage. Hearing aid charger in luggage and only think they carried on was medicine. Feel so bad for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted December 25, 2022 #60 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Aloha. We were on a long Christmas Hanukkah New Years cruise a few years ago. Our luggage arrived but another couple did not get there luggage. it was all around South America and Antarctica including the Falklands. So fortunately we were similar sizes and throughout the voyage kept exchanging clothes with them. To make the long story short months later they received their luggage at home. It was sitting at the airport in Uruguay which was a port stop but not an embarkation or debarkation port. So now we mix our checked luggage half hers and half mine and carryon. They were lovely people and a tale to remember! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are wondering where you stored the huge tray that was on the coffee table. The one thing we do is take the garbage can out from under the bathroom sink to give more storage space. We put the garbage can beside the toilet, and it is not in the way at all. Only 12 days before we are on board !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos taken from the bus also gave a sense of local life and it reminded me of how lucky we are to be able to experience the different cultures... they are as varied and colorful as the birds. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
