luggage tags HELP

I do exactly the same thing

IMO those paper tags have a very good chance of coming off without some reinforcement. Last time we boarded in Jax we saw at least 2 or 3 tags blowing across the sidewalk where they had come off even before the bags were taken into the terminal......:eek:

 

We always laminate ours, punch a hole in them & attach them with a zip tie.

 

I want to make darn sure I get my bags asap........;)

We do the exact same thing

I'm another one who waits till I get to the port and go ask the friendly nice gentleman or lady for a blank luggage tag (they are not laminated but are tyvek or whatever that material is they make really strong but light envelopes from) and write in my name and cabin.

i use clear shipping tape to reinforce them. then i poke a hole in the middle of it and put a zip-tie or rubber band threw it too attatch too my bag handle. it sure makes it sturdier and secure.

I used this paper http://compare.ebay.com/like/350484774412?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y and then reinforce it with packing tape. Never lost one yet!

I just get REAL tags from the porters when we get to the port...much easier than doing a craft project pre-cruise!

 

 

The best advice yet!!!!!!!!!:o:):p:rolleyes:

Our last cruise, I printed extra Ship/Room Locator tags and with clear packing tape, secured them to the top and side of each bag. Covering them with clear packing tape makes them VERY secure.

 

I have added a roll of clear packing tape to my packing list for each cruise.

We put tape on them and use zip ties ...

I just picked up a package of 8 from Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Cruisetags-Cruise-Ship-Luggage-Tags/dp/B007UXMQXO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343450917&sr=8-1&keywords=cruisetags the 2 day shipping was great - fit was perfect and very sturdy. :)

I fold them as instructed, do a cheap laminate with packing tape and punch two holes in the ends with a hole punch. I use zip ties to attach them and I've never lost one yet. I always make and take a spare, though, just in case.

 

Just something to think about:

If your luggage gets lost by the airlines they will know what ship you are going to and may get your luggage there sooner if it is delayed. I also place an itinerary on the top of everything in my checked bag so that if it is opened they know where to send it.
