wildernesslady Posted August 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2014 How can I order luggage tags? Do I need to be booked in a suite to do so? I have searched the RCI site and cannot find my answer. I knew someone here would be able to help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew someone here would be able to help. ThanksApproximately 49 days before your docs will be issued, when they are you will be able to print paper tags.

I knew someone here would be able to help. Thanks Only those staying in suites (GS or higher) or PC members can order luggage tags. Otherwise at 49 days when your edocs become available you can print them out. You can always get them at the pier from the porters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLACRUISER99 Posted August 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Not sure if this is still true but for a $30 fee they would mail them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted August 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2014 My travel agent sends them to me along with my documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Not sure if this is still true but for a $30 fee they would mail them. I believe that that fee was $35. (as you say, if they still do it at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted August 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2014 No way in a gazillion years would I pay $35 for luggage tags. I print them out from my e-travel docs and put them in my luggage tag holders I bought from serendipity. They were very inexpensive and they work great.

You are actually paying $35 for your edocs to be in a special spiral binder like they use to be. Luggage Tags are thrown in at no extra charge!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbon2 Posted August 3, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This is our first cruise on RCCL and was surprised that luggage tags are not sent. After looking thru posts, I printed my tags out on photo paper and ordered the tag holders from Cruise Critic. I figured we will have these tags for a long time (I ordered 4 and believe with shipping it was $12.00.) I assume other lines will soon follow suit, so I figured $12 is a lot less then $35, but did not want to wait to get tags at the port.

I've always followed the instructions of how to fold and staple the luggage tags and they are very secure. If flying, I would print out and then give to porter at ship to secure.

I use them for the departure tags as well. Our luggage is always where they say it will be. Edited August 3, 2014 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted August 3, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 3, 2014 We printed out our tags and placed in the holders, then left the holders attached and switched out the tags since we were doing b2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShock Posted August 3, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Here is a $1.50 solution. Print your tags. Cut them out. Fold them over. Take them to Staples, Office Max, etc. have them placed on one laminating sheet and laminated. Cut them out leaving some plastic around the border. Punch a single hole, with a single hole punch, in one corner. Affix to your luggage with a plastic zip tie. Total cost...$1.50. We cruise 8 weeks a year, always do this, and they never come off or tear lose. Edited August 3, 2014 by DShock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted August 3, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Royal Caribbean, Celebrity use narrower tags than Carnival, Princess. So, if you're interested in other lines, it may be better to order the wider holders. It's better to print them out ahead of time, because it can be chaotic at the pier. On our last Alaska cruise, no one, including the Royal reps knew what to do. People were clustered around the luggage tag table thinking it was for signing seapass cards.

We cruise 8 weeks a year, always do this, and they never come off or tear lose. The current price for the CC tags are $9.50 for 4 and they can be used over and over again. Can be used when you board the ship and when you disembark the ship when going home. If you are spending $1.50 for each cruise that's $12.00. When you add up the time it will takes you to do what you are doing and the cost of the zip ties, are you really saving any money?

Once your edocs are issued at 49 days a button will appear to order luggage tags. You'll receive them in about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShock Posted August 3, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm spending $1.50 for 4 tags...FOUR tags. All four on one laminating sheet. We do 4 b2bs a year. That is $6.00 a year...more than affordable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLACRUISER99 Posted August 3, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This is what I use to print 4 tags at a time with my name on them. http://www3.zansstuff.com/luggage-tags You can them put them in luggage tag holders or print them on full page label paper(the then they are just like the ones they used to mail) I've done it both ways and IMO the tag holders are better.
