USS Cruiser Posted March 16, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Asked this on the "ask a question site," someone suggested I try asking on this site. Made final payment on my upcoming cruise with RCCL, CVP told me that I would receive luggage tags approximately 2 weeks before sailing. Kind of surprised me because I remember reading that you ordered the luggage tags when filling out the set sail information. Has anyone had their luggage tags show up without requesting them when filling out set sail information? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erros Posted March 16, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2011 After you receive your documents you will be able to order your luggage tags on line and then it take 10-14 days to receive them. This is for us customers only I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Cruiser Posted March 16, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted March 16, 2011 That is what I thought I had to do, so I was surprised when she said they would come within 14 days of sailing, I asked if I had to order them on-line and she said no, they would be sent automatically. Oh well, will be sure to look for the luggage tag box when I fill in information on-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen s Posted March 16, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2011 You must order them online - they will not come automatically. I overlooked this step on my last cruise and had to get blank tags at the pier. They only take about 3 days to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not order luggage tags until your e-docs are issued and that will be anywhere from 20-50 days prior to departure. On your Cruise Documentation Page (which you can get to by going to Before you Board and then click on Count Down to Cruises) it will indicate when your e-docs are issued and then there will be a link provided where you can order your tags. Once ordered it takes 5-7 business days to receive them. You have up until 14 days prior to departure to order your tags. After that, you will have to get them at the pier.

USS Cruiser Posted March 16, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks, that is what I previously read on here, which is why I was so surprised when she said I did not have to order them, it was automatic. She may have been a "newbie," thanks again, will be sure to look for the check box ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidPatrick Posted March 16, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I also didn't see about ordering tags as Holland sends them automatically. I called and was told to not worry the stevedores have blank tags at the pier and just fill in your room number, which we did and our bags were in our room when we arrived there after lunch.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicKen Posted March 16, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I would order them anyway. If they send them automatically you just wind up with two sets, if they din't them you'll have one set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS Cruiser Posted March 16, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I will definitely be sure to order them on-line and if I end up with 2 sets, I will just have to bring more luggage :):). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotandtamcruzn4fun Posted March 16, 2011 #11 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I am 45 days out from my next cruise. My documents have not been issued yet. Other members from my roll call had their documents issued on Sunday. Should I be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandian Posted March 16, 2011 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here in Britain just had confrmation for E Docs 59 days out and was advised to order luggage tags when doing online check in which I have done. Very straightforward. Last year we had to print them out and they were not very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted March 16, 2011 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you booked through a TA, will you still need to order tags or will they go to the TA first? bob123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruzinMonkey'sMom Posted March 16, 2011 #18 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I was surprised because the luggage tags came without me ordering them. It's a good thing because I forgot to order them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camlott Posted March 16, 2011 #21 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I requested two sets for my upcoming cruise. Both times it took about 3-4 days. They don't come automatically, but your TA may automatically order you some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopsandYoYo Posted March 19, 2011 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Here in Britain just had confrmation for E Docs 59 days out and was advised to order luggage tags when doing online check in which I have done. Very straightforward. Last year we had to print them out and they were not very strong. Try laminating the luggage tags with clear duck tape. Works great!
