Millions of tourists take cruises every year, and crew often encounter items left by forgetful passengers --
Some people are more strange than others.
While reading items such as glasses or clothes is the norm, the staff has recovered everything from a bundle of cash passing through heir to the lounge vacated by travelers.
Chris Kitching of Mail online Travel spoke to some of the industry\'s employees, revealing that the most unusual items left by passengers, including sex toys, watches and underwear, were expensive.
A spokeswoman for Cunard Line said that the staff had found a 150-year-old 18-
Big carat gold signet ring with passengers-great-
The initials of my grandfather were engraved on the side.
The passengers lost this priceless thing when they got off the ship.
A Cunard spokeswoman said: \"This was picked up by another kind passenger who could not find the staff at the time, so the lady took it home and sent it back to our customer service team.
\"The guest who lost the ring has alerted our customer service team to the missing item and our team immediately recognized it from their discussion with the owner.
\"The owner cried when told he had found it.
After returning, they visited the jeweler worth 1,500 ($3181)
But the emotional value of the ring makes it priceless for our guests.
\"Another time, a staff member of the Cunard Line found a pure gold Rolex watch in a room.
The spokeswoman said: \"The guests reported that they had left it on board and that after corresponding to the ship, the customer service team was able to confirm that it had been found safely.
\"Once the boat arrived at Southampton, the guests decided to drive from Exeter to the office to pick up the watch due to the value and emotional value of the watch.
\"The guests all breathed a sigh of relief and were happy to reunite with the watch, and the couple presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers to the customer service team as a thank you.
\"An employee who worked at a different cruise line and asked to be anonymous told mail online that her colleagues found abandoned sex toys for more than $500 ($739)
After the passengers check out, they pack them in an envelope with fake teeth in cash.
Passengers have gone online to share interesting or shocking stories about items they forgot on board or unusual items that did not come home with the previous guest.
