nascarfans_wny Posted October 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Our docs say to put the RCI luggage tags on your bags before you leave home. We're flying in a day early, and then being transferred from our hotel to the port the day of our cruise. Since we're going to be collecting our bags at MIA and taking them to the hotel ourselves, wouldn't it make sense to wait until we get to the hotel to add the RCI tags ? Why risk losing one on the trip from home to MIA if the bags aren't going directly to the port ? Just curious what the consensus might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted October 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2005 We were told to put the tags on the morning we were leaving the hotel and not to do it before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler80 Posted October 6, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Put them on before you get to the pier, not before you leave home. Otherwise they might fall off or get ripped off. You'll need these to be on your checked luggage before you get on the ship and before you get off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveky Posted October 6, 2005 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Agree with above posts. Put RCI tags on before leaving to the pier in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted October 6, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2005 We never put RCI tags on our bags until we retrieve them from baggage claim at the airport. The last thing you need are extra tags on a bag to help get it on to the wrong plane or lost in an airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted October 6, 2005 #7 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I suppose, if you are taking the cruiseline shuttle from the airport to the ship, it might make a bit of sense. But, you really don't want anything extra to confuse baggage handlers. Put the tags on before you get to the port, the morning of departure.

Nliedel Posted October 6, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2005 If you are collecting your bags then put the tags on the morning you board the ship. We are flying to MCO, transfering to Disney (one set of tags for Magical Express) and then going on our cruise. We will put the luggage tags for the Mariner on the morning of the 16th. I would hate for someone from RCI to grrab my bags from the luggage carosel and then have them put in the wrong spot and voila! No luggage! I worked way too hard beading that darn dress.

nascarfans_wny Posted October 7, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted October 7, 2005 That's what I thought. Just makes sense to me. This is getting excrutiating :D , just short of the two-week mark. Now if I can just get Kathy to start thinking about packing . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
