karmacats Posted May 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Short version: the title says it all. Long version: I checked in today for an upcoming cruise in a GS and was only given the option to print luggage tags, not order them as you can typically do for suites. So I called C&A, thinking maybe I was too close to the cruise but maybe they could get me some tags (I usually do online check-in way in advance, but this time I'm only 12 days out). The C&A rep read to me from a notice that they received today saying that as of April 29, they would no longer be sending tags for suites, and we would have to print them out. We had a good laugh about how the policy started 5 days ago but C&A was just informed today, but it seems like that's that. For anyone who's pinnacle, she also said no tags for pinnacles anymore; I just turned diamond so didn't even know that was a perk. I know it's just a small thing, but I am not crafty and I absolutely hate putting the tags together - I try to laminate them with packing tape and it never goes well. :p DH jokes I want to upgrade to suites just to get out of assembling the darn tags. We ordered tag holders for when we cruise in non-suite rooms, so I guess I will try those. Still, I am kind of annoyed. Anyway, a heads up so you don't spend 20 minutes like me, searching all over my online cruise documents for the "order luggage tags" button.

cb at sea Posted May 3, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Not a big deal at all..the porters have PLENTY of REAL luggage tags! Not a problem or an inconvenience at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richst48 Posted May 3, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Looks like like me and a lot of other people will be ordered the tag holders from Amazon! Maybe we should buy stock in the tag holder company! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a big problem if 6000 people decide that the porters all have lots of luggage tags and no one prints them off. Imagine the chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishgal432 Posted May 3, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Maybe they will have a suite pinnacle dropped point at the port to ensure quick delivery. Eek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAficionado Posted May 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 3, 2016 <sarcasm> What?!? This is an outrage! I demand that Royal start having the Captain of each ship personally hand deliver custom luggage tags to the homes of every passenger! Then a Concierge should be by later to attach the tags to the luggage. The nerve of some companies - expecting us to print something out!! What's next? I have to print out my Set Sail Pass??? </sarcasm> Serious: I guess this is just another one of life's little disappointments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melozone Posted May 3, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm glad I got mine last week. We sail June 5th on the Allure. I do have the plastic holders my TA gave me a few years ago. Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterchick Posted May 3, 2016 #15 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Holy crap - the cutbacks must be very serious - they even hit the P's :eek: (Where is the sarcasm button?) :rolleyes: works most of the time. (I had to delete some of your smilies to fit all of mine in). I'm a little sad, but not surprised that RCI finally gave those up (I just did an OLCI and there was no option, but I only tried a different browser and then gave up). When Princess and Carnival dropped them, they did it for everybody. But maybe they'll use the savings to improve the wine choices in the CL/SL.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dln929 Posted May 3, 2016 #16 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The luggage tags I ordered for our GS on the Jewel just came in the mail. I guess I'll have to save one now as a keepsake. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted May 3, 2016 #17 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I guess they had to cut something out in order to pay for the NEW suite perks that started May 1st:p:D They giveth and then they taketh away Edited May 3, 2016 by molly361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfguyxxx Posted May 3, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm sorry but what am I missing? Print your tags out and put them onto your luggage. Am I mistaken? Do we really need "special tags" and "special holders" for them? Believe me, I am a spoiled man but j :confused::confused:ezzzzzzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted May 3, 2016 #20 Share Posted May 3, 2016 If Royal was really smart, they would sell the luggage tag holders on the same web page that we download the printable luggage tags. If Royal was smart the would have an option to BUY the da*n tags and let us keep getting them. I hated it when they stopped sending the tags to everyone and I REALLY hate it now that the suites can't even get them anymore. Very disappointing.

You have to pay $35 for the paper documents which will include the luggage tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetwhiz Posted May 3, 2016 #22 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Why buy them from Amazon, when the Cruise Critic store has them? Because the ones from Amazon are not only cheaper, but the ones with plastic attachers often get torn off by handlers. These are mine. A steel cable closer and a steel reinforced hole. More durable.

Norway2 Posted May 3, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just got mine yesterday in the mail. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones? I actually would rather use the paper ones than the sticky ones myself. I had already bought the holders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
