Luggage tage

[beth4652]

We have received our docs and, as usual, there are pre-printed tags for our luggage. There are two tags per person. This is an 11-day cruise and four of us are female. I know we will have more than two bags to check. Does anyone know if we can get more of the pre-printed ones from the cruise line prior to arriving at the pier? I know we can get more there, but then we have to waste time filling them out.

Your travel agent should be able to get you plenty of extras

Make a copy of them and cover with clear tape to make more durable. Fold over bag handle and close with another wrap of clear tape.

Simple. Just make some color copies and then tape onto a piece of card stock for durability. Punch a little hole in there, and you're good to go. :)

I just knew someone here could solve my problem. Thank you, thank you. And I didn't come up with that solution on my own --- why?

We use mailing labels that come with our checks or via some other group and then we don't have to fill out the tags. Then, use a FAT, black, Magic Marker to put our room # on in big print. They need to see color of tag so they know what deck to take luggage to. Done this when we had to get out tags at pier as we have to do for New Years cruise. NCL emailed our docs and said to do this!

We have done a lot of back-to-back cruises. And we always arrive at the embarkation port several days ahead of the cruise and stay over at the dismebarkation port for a few days.

We used to have that problem about not getting enough luggage tags. Since our documents arrive 6 - 8 weeks before we cruise, our TA always checks over everything and makes certain that there are extra luggage tags since we take a lot of luggage. If there aren't enough there, she calls HAL and orders extras. One time the extra tags arrived at our house before we even had a chance to pick up our documents.

May be a dumb question but do you wait to put them on at cruise terminal or is it OK to have them on at the airport before you fly in?

[cheshyrkat]

I don't usually fly prior to cruises but if I did I think I'd wait until I was done with the airlines...Wouldn't want to have to get more tags if the airline was too rough and ripped off what I already had put on!

Actually for RCI the color of the tag corresponds to the ship, not to the deck. The only time it makes a difference is if you are in a suite, which has bright red marks on the tag in addition to the color for the ship.

Used card stock... printed it once then ran it through with the other side and it was pretty closely lined up so that all I had to do is fold, tape it after filling it out and hole punch it! looks almost like the original.

put them on AFTER you claim your luggage at the airport --if you put them on before there is a good change that the baggage loaders will remove them to prevent any problems regarding airline luggage tags
