seashell64 Posted April 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Does it matter if these documents (especially the luggage tags) print in black and white??? I don't have access to a colored printer :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunchesofun Posted April 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2014 From the Carnival website: Q. I don’t have a color printer; does my bag tag need to be printed in color? A. No, the bag tag can be printed in black and white, simply follow the instructions on the luggage tag page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted April 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2014 No problem. You can also let the porter who takes your bag at the port, put the proper tag on your luggage, if you wish. It's just a bit faster to put the tag on your luggage yourself. (Also, you can make sure that the proper cabin number is on the tag!) ;) "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted April 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2014 While it's allowed to print in black and white and your bags will make it, I've made a trip to the local Kinko's to print tags in color when I didn't have a color printer. Makes me feel as if the bags will be routed more efficiently if the tags are in color. :o Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redefinition Posted April 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I've always done B&W and never lost my luggage. (Knocks on wood!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted April 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I've been printing black/white for a number of years. Only time I had a problem with a lost bag was when the tag fell off.... Now I staple it a LOT MORE than the one they suggest :) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reerun25 Posted April 28, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I agree, not required, but I always print mine in color, laminate, and attach with a zip tie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsy88 Posted April 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I agree, not required, but I always print mine in color, laminate, and attach with a zip tie... I agree - plus the tags hold up better when the kids refuse to take them off the luggage for all trips until we go on another cruise (I think it's their way of protesting):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd2355 Posted April 28, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Only time I had a problem with a lost bag was when the tag fell off... Exactly why each bag gets a copy of its tag in an outside pocket. Worst case if the tag comes off someone opening the bag looking for identification will find the other tag printout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Wavey Posted April 28, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 28, 2014 They look more tropical when printed in color. I use those fancy cruise tag things and color tags just looks all special, even if it doesn't make a bit of difference. :P And I put a second copy inside each bag.

Krissica Posted April 28, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 28, 2014 As others hae said, I have always done B&W with no problems. I also have learned to add a few more staples than normal, but don't feel that I need to do much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted April 28, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 28, 2014 No problems with B&W, but I also print out in color, and place the tag inside a self-laminating pouch from Staples or Walmart, and secure with a zip tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
