It is natural for passengers on vacation to let there guard down, especially when out to sea in a resort-like setting.
Most complaints regarding theft, damage or loss involves the contents of luggage.
Savvy travelers will make a written inventory of items in their luggage and photograph it in case of loss. Carry important items like medication, eyeglasses, and expensive jewelry in your hand luggage. Photocopy the contents of your wallet and your passport and carry a copy in your hand luggage and leave one at home. Keep luggage under your control until you check in with the cruise line. Once you turn over your luggage over to the ship baggage handlers you won t see it again for hours until it gets processed with a thousand other bags and is delivered to your cabin.
