khfadpi Posted May 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2005 We were sent 2 luggage tags apiece for our cruise next week. Do we have to have one on our carry-on luggage? If we do I don't have enough tags. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrewser Posted May 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2005 THey just need to be on the bags you hand over to the stevadores at the pier. Should you need additional ones, they will have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormyc Posted May 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2005 You only need to have the tags on the luggage you turn over to the stevedores at the pier to have delivered later to your stateroom. You do not need to have the tags on luggage you are keeping with you when you board the ship. We had enough for both, so had a tag on each piece of luggage. We flew in the day prior to embarkation, and afixed the tags to our luggage in the morning before leaving our hotel to go to the pier. Congratulations on getting your docs!! That means you're getting veeeerrrrrrry close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic The Parrot Posted May 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2005 And.... If you're still in the 30-20 day period before sailing, you can always request more from your TA. Or from HAL if you booked with them direct. Bon voyage! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted May 29, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2005 It can be handy to put a HAL tag on your carry-on if you are using HAL transfers. The airport greeter will see the tag and approach you to smooth the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincurt Posted May 29, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2005 We put a tag on BOTH handles in case one gets torn off. Also makes it easier for the luggage handlers to see where the bag goes without having to turn it around to hunt for the tag. None on the carry-ons other than our normal name aand address tag in case we get separated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdkempton Posted May 30, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2005 If I have enough tags for the carry-ons I use them, otherwise no...don't need them. I have found having tags on the carry-ons we have met fellow passengers in the airports on the way to the ship. Some have been long-lasting friendships. Have a wonderful cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincurt Posted May 30, 2005 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2005 On the Sovereign last week, one of our group was missing a suitcase. Late in the day he found it down at the purser's desk with the tag missing. Doesn't hurt to put on a spare on a different handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapr Posted May 30, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 30, 2005 In addition to the cruise line's tag, our checked bags also have our own leather/sturdy plastic strap tag. We also include a printed sheet with our name, ship's name, sailing date, stateroom, and cell phone #'s in outside zippered pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
