Jeafl Posted March 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We are leaving for the airport in about half an hour. Is it ok to put your Carnival luggage tags on your suitcases BEFORE the flight? Or will they get lost or ripped off by the baggage handlers? Is it better to put them on once we get to Ft. Lauderdale? We plan on covering them with clear packing tape, but I hate the bring the roll of tape with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokerABC Posted March 23, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Luggage takes A LOT of abuse and beating on planes and by handlers. Put them on after you get to FL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanpatricksmom Posted March 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I wouldn't. Not so much because I'd be worried about them getting torn off, but more because I never want anything on my luggage with a barcode/destination that doesn't agree to where I want it to end up. I'm also a nervous nelly traveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmorg Posted March 23, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We always wait & put ours on when we get to our pre-cruise hotel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready 2 Go Posted March 23, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I agree with the OP's. I would wait until I have landed and am at the hotel or port. You'll have time. And have a fantastic trip!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdazew Posted March 23, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2012 wait, the airlines get confused enough. the hotel will probably be willing to help with tape as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted March 23, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yep, put 'em on when you arrive in Ft. Lauderdale, or even when you arrive at the port. The baggage handlers will help you with that if you wish, or even supply them for you. Have a GREAT cruise....wish we could join you.

S.S.Oceanlover Posted March 23, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We are leaving for the airport in about half an hour.

We plan on covering them with clear packing tape, but I hate the bring the roll of tape with us. we always put ours on after we get off of our flights. The airlines lose enough bags and I don't want the extra tag on the suitcase to cause any confusion making me not get my luggage. We usually already put the packing tape on before we leave, use a hole punch to put a hole in the tag, and tag a couple small cable ties. Have a great cruise.

INTERLINER13 Posted March 23, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would wait. We used the stapler at the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracyanns Posted March 23, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We have seen the airlines take them off, the only tag on the bags should be the one for your flight...take the tape in a bag, if comes in handy for other things...on rough nights a small piece over the closets doors is nice if the are banging, and also for easy fixes for some things...

maldenmusic Posted March 23, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We always print off an extra tag or two because one my daughters got ripped off as we were getting it out of our car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
