Show your paperwork to the porter who takes your bags, and he will make and attach luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted September 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's really not a big deal to either print them at home, or get some from the porters at the pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegima Posted September 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 14, 2014 They tell you when you're completing the setsail pass that you need to print the luggage tags and give you a PDF file to print. You realized that RC wasn't going to send you printed heavy duty luggage tags at 8:30pm the night before your cruise? C'mon, don't let that start your cruise off poorly. As others have said, the porters at the pier can take care of it for you in a heartbeat if you can't find a printer by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted September 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) As usual, our cruise documents were ready today at day 49 with the luggage tags on page 21, ready to print. DH will print them at work on Monday (why use our ink lol) and I will put them in our luggage tag holders so we're ready to go. RCI hasn't mailed luggage tags except for GS and above in about 2-3 years. Edited September 14, 2014 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty bad if you let the fact that they don't send you luggage tags ruin your cruise. Get them from the porters at the pier... Not a big deal.

Once you're within about 24 hours your cruise disappears off the RCI site, so they couldn't print them now if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty pathetic, but whatever floats your boat (pun intended). We also enjoy Celebrity but certainly wouldn't let a piece of paper be the deciding factor in choosing a cruiseline.

slyster Posted September 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 14, 2014 some things are more important to others. I have just gotten used to it. We will usually print them out, place them in a luggage pocket and then have the porter put them on. Takes about 5 seconds. But if you don't want to print them, maybe another 30 seconds.

People aren't making excuses, they just don't see it as a big deal. You will get them at the pier tomorrow. And before you decide to go back to Celebrity, go and enjoy your cruise.

Excuse is a poor term to describe what folks are telling you about what RCI policy and practice has been for some time. Celebrity is a little above the RCI mass market in terms of what they offer their guests. We like RCI for what they deliver and Celebrity likewise. If you assumed they were the same because they are in the same corporation that would be like saying Chevrolet is the same as Cadillac. Also, if you booked through a TA they should have informed you of the different procedure regarding luggage tags. Mine will print tags for those that don't want to; or, cannot print their own. I hope you enjoy your cruise! Edited September 14, 2014 by Scotty G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camofwilliamsburg Posted September 14, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We print them out and then using packing tape to cover me and to reinforce the paper. I would not want the flimsy paper tags to fall off before the luggage gets to the room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?? That is what determines what cruise you go on? Not a good way to start your vacation, put this behind you and go on your cruise with an open mind. You could have requested, and paid for, tags when you did your on line check in. Of course if you are sailing in a suite they would have been sent free IF you asked.

Well, that's a shame. You've painted RCI with a mighty wide brush already and you haven't even gotten to the ship. Looking at your previous posts, I see you are on Allure tomorrow. Shame you have made up your mind not to enjoy her. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted September 14, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Guess I'm just pessimistic but, I can see the OP keeping a list about everything that doesn't measure up on Royal Caribbean and only seals their resolve to return to Celebrity.

scanditaly Posted September 15, 2014 #23 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I love the ritual of printing our luggage tags. that simple act augments the excitement of actually getting to go on a CRUISE! Guess what!? Even though we sail in suites, we still print extra, and laminate and attach more than one to a suitcase. Sometimes those little buggers come off, and we want to do all that we can to ensure that our bags arrive safe and sound, er, that is if they are not way-laid via the naughty room.:D:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted September 15, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Really? Once you're within about 24 hours your cruise disappears off the RCI site, so they couldn't print them now if they wanted to. Interesting. I had always thought that, too. I disembarked from the Freedom this morning. Took the Cocoa Beach Shuttle to my hotel. Room not ready. Went to the computers in the Business Office. (that's where I am right now, again ;) ). Remembered that I had not printed out my luggage tag for the Enchantment tomorrow. (I had the SetSail Pass, just not the luggage tag). Printed it around 1 P.M. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
