jobowl Posted February 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2016 When are Luggage tags issued? Are they mailed or do I print them? First time on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_coach Posted February 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You need to get onto My Celebrity and request them. I asked for them 2 weeks before sail date and they never came so we had to print them from the documents booklet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NanaChar Posted February 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You might need to call Celebrity for them. There is a glitch in the system ordering them on-line. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted February 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2016 For my recent b2b cruises, I checked in online and requested luggage tags. As I got closer to my sailing date, I called Celebrity. After waiting on hold too long, I was reassured that the tags would be sent to me. They never came. I stressed until somebody on cruise critics told me to have the porters at the pier tag my bags. It took a few seconds at the pier. My bags arrived very quickly. I agree that Celebrity's web site is a mess. Relax and don't worry about luggage tags. Don't waste your time trying to get them or print them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono mono Posted February 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Before our recent cruises i requested them by post twice,never came !! as you hand your luggage to porterson dock they will write them for you and put them on !!To ask celebrity to do things beforehand is a waste of time,thank god once aboard they know exactly what they are doing !! which is more than you can say about Celebrity admin !!!!

dthomaso Posted February 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Your best bet is to print them off from your 'Guest Ticket Booklet' that is available on the Celebrity website, or it is emailed to you. The luggage tag is on page 15 of the booklet. You only need to print that page as many times as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted February 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have ordered the luggage tags 3 times now. As they have not arrived yet. Last week I printed out the luggage tags and laminated them. I ordered luggage tag holders from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hppytrvlr Posted February 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just call Celebrity and they will send them to you. We always get ours by doing this, no problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHPcruiser Posted February 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2016 We received ours almost two months after ordering and one day before our flight to the port. By then I had already printed them. Our other three Celebrity cruises we received them weeks in advance. It's nice to have them but it wasn't a big deal to us if we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Sunset Posted February 14, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I thought they would be mailed, but my travel agent said they had to be printed. This is for our trip on Eclipse on Feb. 21. She printed them for me because my computer died, and gave me plastic sleeves to hold them. We are active travelling seniors and really dislike being nickeled and dimed to death, but such is travelling today. [emoji36] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted February 14, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2016 We ordered tags 3 times online - nothing. We then called Captain's Club and they showed that the order had been received...finally got the tags 1 week prior to sailing. Like the others, I had already printed tags out.. ...it is frustrating not knowing if the tags will arrive or not but at least there is the option to print the tags from the online docs or get tags at the pier.

leisuretraveler223 Posted February 14, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Not worth the hassle anymore. The porters have tags and will happily apply them curbside. No need to waste time making phone calls, or printing them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIP TRAVELER Posted February 14, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I print them at home and insert into a clear cruise critic label holder. Any clear tag holder will work. I have also seen people cover the printed ones with wide clear plastic packing tape and attach them directly to the bags. This makes them tougher. We have also just shown the print out to the porters at the dock and they have attached a hand written tag. I have always felt that the printed tags should work better for sorting but have never had problems getting the luggage either way. I have not gotten tags by mail from any cruise line in years.

Land of Ice and Snow Posted February 14, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I requested them on February 1st and received them on Friday, February 12th and we live in NL, Canada for our March 5th cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted February 14, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just to post a different take on this. I've been on about 10 or 11 Celebrity cruises. Every one of them I've ordered the luggage tags from my reservation. Everyone of them I've received the tags within 7 days or so. The most recent being last month. I'm either really lucky or some people really don't understand how the system works. Or maybe some of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizen Susan Posted February 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ordered then directly from the Captain's Club. Received them in less than a week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copi2boys Posted February 14, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Are the print-at-home luggage tags the same size as RCI luggage tags? I have several plastic tag holders and hope to be able to still use them. No big deal printing them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbury newbie Posted February 14, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Are the print-at-home luggage tags the same size as RCI luggage tags? I have several plastic tag holders and hope to be able to still use them. No big deal printing them out. The luggage tags will be similar to RCI so your plastic tag holders will be ok for X.

davekathy Posted February 14, 2016 #19 Share Posted February 14, 2016 When are Luggage tags issued? Are they mailed or do I print them? First time on Celebrity. Approximately 45 days from your sail date. You can also call the Captains Club desk and request luggage tags or print them from your edocs. Simple. I rather do that than wait for a porter to do it.

bar_20 Posted February 14, 2016 #20 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I just completed my on line check-in for our May 13 cruise. It said that the luggage tags were not available at this time but should be available within 60 days of the sail date and to keep checking. I am going to assume that you made your final payment and have completed the on line check-in.. If you have done both of these and you're less than 60 days out i would call X and order them over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oroszdb Posted February 14, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) It's just As davekathy said - for example for my 4/2 sailing I received an email that I could print out my luggage tags yesterday Edited February 14, 2016 by oroszdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted February 14, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 14, 2016 You can order over the phone or on line - the system by Celebrity is the same as those on the phone simply access your reservation. It is worth doing as they often arrive. If they don't then do not bother. Simply tell the porter your cabin number, WATCH THEM WRITE THE CORRECT NUMBER ON THE TAG(S), and get on board. I give the online system one shot then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalusky Posted February 14, 2016 #23 Share Posted February 14, 2016 FYI, we had the porters at Sydney put tags on our bags and we watched them attache them to the luggage. Our luggage got lost because somehow the tags came off. The word of wisdom is to have personal luggage tags with your name some where on the luggage because they will attempt to cross reference those and get them to your room. We did not do this and we panic'd for a while until we finally found them off to the side at guest services. Second word of wisdom never pack your drugs in your luggage even if your right there at the ship watching them process them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a luggage tags come off. Common sense is never to pack valuables or prescribed medicines in your luggage no matter your type of vacation.

bigbenboys Posted February 15, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 15, 2016 For myself it just comes down to this. If Celebrity offers Luggage Tags we should be able to order them and receive them by mail. If Celebrity does not want to offer them then come out with a statement.
