purplekim Posted July 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hi Can anyone tell me if the luggage labels that you are requested to print off actually do the job. The ones we got with the booking have a different cabin numbers. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denmarks Posted July 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Check the cruise personalizer and the boarding pass and see if the cabin numbers are all the same. You may have received an upgrade. If you used a travel agent maybe he forgot to tell you. The luggage tags are pretty sturdy if you follow the instructions. I recommend printing them on card stock and putting wrapping tape over them. There are many companies including Cruise Critic that sell plastic envelopes that can be used. Edited July 4, 2014 by denmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2014 We fly to the embarkation port one or more days early. I bring the luggage tags and borrow a stapler from the hotel front desk. I attach them as we are checking out and going to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Or, you can get tags from the porters! Much easier than cutting, taping, etc...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted July 4, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Another vote for the plastic holders. We've had ours for a few years now, and they are holding up well. Much less trouble than all that folding, stapling, taping, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcmmc Posted July 4, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I just laminated mine. It makes them sturdy plus if it's raining they won't fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPGrandma Posted July 4, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Print off on regular paper, fold the cover with shipping tape. Punch a hole in the ends. Take a zip tie with you for each tag and attach once you have arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I just put the paper luggage tags into plastic sleeves -- punch a hole in them. Attach them to the luggage using cable ties when we are ready to leave the hotel to go to the port. If you are flying in on the same day -- wait until you get have claimed your luggage before attaching the ship's luggage tags. You don't have to make your own -- you can buy some here: http://www.cruisecritic.com/store/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry and Lucille Posted July 5, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Print off on regular paper, fold the cover with shipping tape. Punch a hole in the ends. Take a zip tie with you for each tag and attach once you have arrived. I tried cheap plastic zip ties once. Glad I brought extra tags and ties because the plastic ones tend to break. Now I only use nylon ties. We put our tags on at home. Attach thru the handle ring so that the airline tag can attach to the handle. Also, place our travel information from start to finish, including cell phone numbers in the front pouch of our bags. They will always be able to find us.

UPGrandma Posted July 6, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I don't put the cruise tags on until heading to the ship. After arrive by plane and heading to ship or leaving pre cruise hotel for ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMerritt Posted July 6, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Print off on regular paper, fold the cover with shipping tape. Punch a hole in the ends. Take a zip tie with you for each tag and attach once you have arrived. I have always done my tags this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
