Creator's Key Takeaways

I always travel with a Tracker in my luggage more because of a fear of it getting lost by baggage handlers than anything else

Jason and Tammy Merritt had a bag go missing on a Carnival Cruise in February and in that bag of luggage were some very important items

they contacted Carnival saying their luggage was on the ship we can track it we can see where it's at and it's definitely on the ship can you go check

when they finally got their bag back over 30 days later they found that at least 39 items that they had counted were missing from Jason's bag

Creator's Tips & Advice

Never leave valuable items or medications in checked luggage; keep them in your carry-on
If your luggage is lost, use the tracker app to prove it's on board and get staff to search
