luggage tags.

[punkybett]

My luggage tags say orange, but printed out kind of pinkish. does this matter?

[triptolemus]

No.

Noo, I normally print mine in black and white anyway. They should read the colour :-)

Wow, I thought I was the only one and actually asked my co-worker if I was becoming colorblind. Luggage Tag said Lime and it printed out bright yellow. Even looks yellow when it shows up on the browser. I finally got it to look like Lime by changing the printer settings to print as Graphics instead of Photo.

 

Then my OCD kicked in when I realized I needed to print my name, address, phone, so I exported the graphic of the tag, edited it using a photo editor to add my info and the cabin info since the exported luggage tag does not show cabin info as it is a dynamic field.

 

Then OCD #3 kicked in again and I realize how flimsy the luggage tag was, so I used packing tape to laminate the sucker so it's pretty much bulletproof.

 

Then OCD #4 kicked in and did the same thing for DD/DM's luggage tags.

Wow ha ha!

 

That is dedication, bet my luggage tags look a mess compared to yours.

I just use the tags they give you at the port. Much more durable than a paper printout.

That's a good plan but that involves queuing up. I just roll up, chuck my bag on the pile and move on :)

To solve #3, we bought a set of cruise luggage tag holders. We've used the tape trick before, but I'm allergic to adhesives, and ended up with a rash for the first cruise because of it. Put two on though, just incase one falls off.

I've never had a line to hand my luggage over and even the one time where I did use my own printed tags I still made sure to hand them to a person.

That will be just fine. We normally take a pice of clear packing tape and put it over the printed surface. And we put one on each of the handles of our suitcases.

More than I am willing to do. I don't even bother printing them, I get mine from the porters at the pier.

Only time the color even matters is when there are two NCL ships in the same port at the same time. Otherwise the colors (textual or visual) are meaningless.

If your flying pack a small stapler at the dollar store to take with you and put several staples on each tag even close to the handle it won't fall off.

I've only ever been handed flimsy paper. What ports give better ones? Or maybe it depends on the porter

[Moby0215]

The ones I have been given were sticker like airlines checked baggage.

This is the luggage tag holder that we have. It came with metal rings to attach it to the suitcases.

Never staple a luggage tag!!! Your bag may be handled 4 or 5 times before it gets to your room. Even with gloves on a straitened out staple could sink right into a handlers skin and leave a nasty hole or cut. Also, but probably not your bag may become the brunt of a handlers anger if it was to hurt them. Think about it, a staple is just a bent needle.

Hm, I think I will staple the end then tape up the staples to prevent potential accidents. OCD #5, here I come!

Except for the fact that I have seen the porters with a stapler to assist people who printed out tags that didn't staple it themselves.

Best cruise luggage tags. Inexpensive and work perfectly!
