Chigirlcruzin Posted November 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Dumb question...I'm packing for my Epic cruise, and I printed off luggage tags. They printed on two pages? Huh? Print preview shows two pages...never had this happen before. I'm using Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc86 Posted November 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Same thing happening to me for my Gem cruise....any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver1975 Posted November 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) The second page is essentially blank. So, in Print Preview, select print page 1-1 and proceed without printing the second page. Edited November 28, 2014 by Beaver1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigirlcruzin Posted November 29, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The second page is not blank. The grist page has the cabin info; second page is the color and name info. Odd. My Getaway cruise in May was not like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted November 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The thing they need is the bar code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted November 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The thing they need is the bar code! There are no barcodes on luggage tags, you are thinking about eDocs, and even then they only need the name to look up te reservation - reservation number and/or barcode makes fetching the info just a bit faster.

rvsullivan Posted November 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) The thing they need is the bar code! Oops!! I should read first and then type!!:o I have this issue with my edocs.

angelvoice Posted November 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2014 This happened to me too. In the print menu I had to select it to print all on one page. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted November 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2014 i had to set the scale to about 90% to get everything to fit on one page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles83 Posted November 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 29, 2014 i just went to print mine today and this exact same thing happened to me. what i did was print page 1 first and then re-insert the same piece of paper but upside down and then print page 2 and it should all line up properly. hopefully this works for you too.

maywell Posted November 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You sure its the luggage tags and not the boarding pass? Because my boarding pass printed on two pages (one almost blank except for the bar code and other page has the rest of the information) but my luggage tag printed on one page just fine. This was despite selecting printing on one page, changing the margins or shrinking it for the boarding pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldosPepper Posted November 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You sure its the luggage tags and not the boarding pass?... Yes... The second page is not blank. The first page has the cabin info; second page is the color and name info. Odd. My Getaway cruise in May was not like this. Definitely luggage tags. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaaronS Posted December 2, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2014 My tags showed on 2 pages also. I toggled off the print headers and footers option and they then printed fine on 1 page without rescaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman2 Posted December 2, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 2, 2014 My tags showed on 2 pages also.

SWFL_Cruising Posted January 24, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 24, 2016 My tags showed on 2 pages also.

ksignorini Posted August 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I know this is an old post, but a solution is always helpful for those Googling an answer down the road. As of August 2019 I've found you can print them on 1 page on a Mac like this: 1. In Safari, change the scaling to 88% or less. 2. Use Chrome instead of Safari. Enjoy your cruise!

teachberry Posted August 16, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I print one and use it to fill in my info. Then I make copies of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esm54687 Posted August 16, 2019 #19 Share Posted August 16, 2019 If you have crappy printouts..... place them in your luggage in case they get lost and just grab some tags at the terminal. The porters always have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safari, Chrome, etc are non-compliant browsers and you get whatever happens to show up when you use them. FireFox is an excellent browser, highly recommended. 2nd your printer may well be configured incorrectly, by default the luggage tags print out the exact right size and on a single sheet.

don't-use-real-name Posted August 16, 2019 #21 Share Posted August 16, 2019 People people - when you bring up the page(s) with your eDocs - Look for the little suitcase in the middle right portion of the page. Click on it and print out as many tags as you have luggage pieces. The print out should be about a third of the 8.5x11 page with instructions to cut along the lines and fold where fold is indicated and then staple - Suggest beefing up the paper thin tags on cardboard or inserting in a plastic sandwich bag and attach it to each bag AT THE PIER. Don't have extra tags to confuse airline tag readers traveling by air. Something too LARGE or too small find a way to adjust the size of the print. NCL only needs a sliver of info to get your luggage to your cabin door ! The basics is your all important cabin number - any crew member can tell by that where you cabin is located - your name is helpful if tags get torn off or your luggage arrives at the naughty room aka Lost & Found ! Have a copy of your eDocs inside your luggage. If in a suite or Haven class cabin - your luggage tags should be mailed to you by snail mail - uncertain how this done in foreign countries. Oh and it does help a bit if your luggage has a handle to attach the tag ! LOL ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted August 16, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The fit to page problem has to do with the default settings of your print driver. First, use the "print this page" link on the luggage tag document being displayed. If it still spills onto a second page, open your print settings and choose "fit to page" or find a scaling setting and reduce to around 90%. That should do it. I capture it using print to PDF document, then I use the snipping tool to print my name and cabin # into one neat document and print it for each piece of luggage.
