rbuenger Posted January 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2015 DW and I have booked a last minute cruise on Silhouette (2/15 sailing) and for the 1st time used a TA (big "club store"). We have paid in full and our AQ Guarantee was assigned a room today. I have filled out the Online Check-in and printed out our Express Pass. Having never booked this close to sailing, I am trying to figure out when my Edocs will be issued so I can order our Luggage Tags, or is this something that happens through our TA?

Patrick IL. Posted January 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) We are on the same cruise, doing the 8th and the 15th. We were booked from last year though. Our edocs came directly from RCCL.COM, we received them on Jan 9th. We also use a TA, this time they came straight from the cruise line. Can't you order the luggage tags by using your booking number?

Driveshaft Posted January 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Once the online check-in is processed there should be a link below on the online check-in page to order your tags. We have a 23Feb15 sailing and have received ours after filling in the address info once the link appeared. if you are less than 48 days out that link should appear.

Thanks! I spoke to our TA after posting this and they mentioned that Celebrity always used to send them the Edocs and their Document Dept would then send to the client, but she had heard lately that some clients were getting them sent directly to then by the cruiseline. TA estimated, now that our room has been assigned, we should be getting our Edocs in the next 24-48 hours and can then order our luggage tags from Celebrity. Having always booked directly through the cruise line, I am still unsure how this TA process works! Edited January 16, 2015 by rbuenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted January 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Is exactly the same. If you have printed your express pass you can order your luggage tags and you are done. FWIW - ordering luggage tags sort of a waste of time as you can simply have the porter put them on at the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief Posted January 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I must be missing something....why are e-docs even necessary; they are nothing more than a statement of dates, itinerary, cabin, etc. as well as the "contract of carriage" (which I doubt anymore than 2% of the guests read). The important (but not crucial) document is the Express Pass, as that expedites check in at the pier. So don't worry about edocs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on the Edocs not being necessary at all, but according to Celebrity, Luggage Tags can't be ordered until the Edocs are issued, so that was the reason for my question here.....

vulcan1971 Posted January 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Once you are less than 49 days to sailing, the ability should exist in your My Celebrity account to request your luggage tags. You do not need your e-docs issued to you in order to request the luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you/they would be correct! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbuenger Posted January 17, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Got an email this AM that my Edocs were issued and when I logged on my account, the Link to order Luggage Tags was now available. For whatever reasons, Celebrity has tied the ability to order tags directly with Edocs being issued..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlrandpkm Posted January 18, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Our edocs were issued a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, however, we weren't able to order luggage tags... "Luggage tags cannot be mailed to you for this sailing. If you are unable to print them at home, you may obtain luggage tags from the Porter at the pier." I was a little disappointed (ok, a lot actually! lol). Only having sailed Carnival before, I was very excited at the thought of receiving luggage tags in the mail from Celebrity--just adds a little to the excitement! :D I kept hoping that it would change, but it yet hasn't, so looks like we'll have to print our own. What a horrible problem to have!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
