luggage tags

Made my day, and to think all these years I have just been using a stapler, generally at the hotel desk.

Yep, generally works fine. But I started using clear packing tape several years ago when one of my tags secured with only a staple was just hanging on "by a thread". It's an additional, simple, minimal cost/hassle protection. Even just regular old 1/2 inch tape is available at hotel desks, etc. I can't remove the cruise line's tags that are taped with using the nail clippers my wife keeps in her purse.:cool:

We attach our before flights in case our luggage gets lost/delayed.

Also, we take extra tags to put on at the hotel if ours get damaged.

 

This is exactly what we do. :)

You had better hope that should you need your passport and don't have it that there is a US consulate/embassy nearby that is open. Otherwise the paper that the passport info is printed on is worthless.

 

If the ship has to leave you behind, they will attempt to land your documents.

 

Regardless of the value of the paper, if any.

Love the photos of the tools! Very cute and funny!:)

If you fold the tags per the instructions they are stronger than the luggage tags Princess used to mail to you.

 

We fold them (per the instructions), punch a hole, and attach to the luggage using a plastic electrical tie. We always need a scissors to remove them.

 

Or, you can use the kit below suggested by Cruise Critic member chrysalis.

 

Or the following luggage tag kit is also available.

 

The pictures are really very funny. You made my day. A laugh is all ways good.

I was just visiting favors by serendipity website and I know a lot of us use their luggage tag holders. Just thought you'd want to know they have lowered their prices. What a deal! Mine have lasted for years.

There are many vendors on eBay who can make a dozen or so brightly colored plastic tags with personalized info to attach to your luggage. Cost is usually around $12 per half dozen. I have used those for years and they are indestructible in my experience.:cool:

We never put our ship luggage tags on until we are actually heading to the ship. Since we always fly in the day prior to the ship sailing we wait. There is no guaranty that they will survive the airline baggage handling. We use a type of plastic tag sleeves which we purchased on Amazon. The Princess luggage tags slide in and we can put them on prior to transferring to the ship.

I use tags like these, except they were not that expensive (so shop around).

Serendipity Tag Holders work great. Finally ordered some more after 4 cruises of uses. However' date=' we never tag our luggage with the PCL Tags until just before boarding.

sort of home laminated them, using clear plastic packaging tape, hole-punched them using an office paper punch.

Darn, I did this last night! And was proud when I showed them to my wife. I didn't know that you guys have been doing this all along!:D

[UpcountryTravelers]

Go to serendipity.com. They have luggage tags holders, specifically made for cruise luggage. $2.50 a piece. We've used them for EVER!! FYI don't request the 9 inch length to attach to luggage, WAY too long. Hope this helps..

 

Or do like we did. Buy them aboard your Princess ship.

[cruiselvr1]

What is the best any to attach these.? ...being paper and all?

We bought plastic cruise tags from Amazon, they work great. I don't remember the name, but their are two types. They fit perfectly.

We use a clear plastic page sleeve. Then seal with clear shipping tape and staple on. You can lift the bag up with them. ;)
