Thank you, do you take them as hand luggage or send them on with your suitcases?

We send them on with the rest of our suitcases. I just carry on a very small bag containing valuables, iPad etc.

Just wondering, how do you pack your suits and posh frocks?

Do you take them in clothes carriers as hand luggage,  label clothes carriers for porters and send with suitcases or pack them in suitcases?

 

Thanks

We each have a garment carrier that is quite substantial (like a suitcase) and pack our posh clothes in those.

I have found that you don't get labels or booklet if you book safer fare , but allways get them on select fares .

We always book select and as I said before have always had the booklet until this cruise. We receive everything else through the post so I am inclined to believe that as my husband was told on the phone this is a trial for Arcadia’s 10th October cruise.

You get different sizes for the different cruise lines. Google it, a well known on line seller does every size.

Just ordered some!

We have little plastic gizmos which attach to the case to put the paper labels into, quite handy. You can but them online and it saves a lot of faffing about.

Thanks for that it sounds a very good idea. 

We have always booked direct and this is the first time we’ve not received it. Printing paper luggage labels is not ideal as they are not as durable as the P&O issued ones.

We had an email from P&O a few days ago advertising this.

Thank you Andy that is interesting. We’ve always received one so far including our last cruise on Aurora in April. 

We are sailing on Arcadia on 10th October and phoned P&O as we realised that we had not received the usual pre-cruise booklet and luggage labels. Apparently our cruise has been selected as part of a trial to not issue the booklets. They offered to send the contents electronically and they have agreed to send some luggage labels! Unfortunately this looks like another case of P&O cost cutting and it seems they hadn’t even bothered to let us know of the change.
