OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) Frustrations continue for Jason and Tammy Merritt after waiting a month for their lost luggage, which ended up being on board the Carnival Cruise Line the entire time.

“They didn’t drop the ball. They intentionally set it down and they’re not picking it back up,” said Tammy Merritt.

Jason’s luggage was lost during their entire vacation, from February 8 until February 16. The suitcase remained missing weeks after their sail ended and they returned home.

While at home, they tracked the bag with Apple AirPods that were inside the luggage. It showed the suitcase still on the ship for weeks.

“We kept showing them, ‘Hey, we’re tracking it. Hey, it’s here.’ You know, ‘Can you go to deck zero?’ No, it’s not going to be there. You know, we’ve searched all the floors, every room’s been checked. There’s nothing,” Merritt said.

On Thursday morning, their luggage was delivered to their home after more than 30 days of waiting, however, half of their belongings are missing.

“There’s about 39 items missing, and she took the majority of his clothes. She took all of his shoes, belts, and his entire toiletry bag. So electronic toothbrushes, razors, medications, she took it all,” said Tammy.

The key to their Ford Bronco is also missing from the luggage, as well as the name tag on top of the luggage, which had their name, address, and phone number.

Carnival told the Merritt’s that a thief, who was doors down from their room, had the bag the entire time.

“They let her off of that boat without checking any of her belongings. They just let her go,” Merritt said.

affiliate KFOR reached out to Carnival Cruise Line via email on Wednesday and Thursday to see if they would be replacing what was stolen, and got no response.

KFOR also called a worker in contact with the Merritt’s and left a message.

Tammy says their next steps will be contacting local authorities and pursuing legal action.
