Aprille Posted August 12, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2018 You should get your snail mail luggage tags exactly 50 days before your cruise. I got mine 49 days out. Glad I didn't see this before then or I might have started panicking the day before. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted August 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It should be noted only guests in Suite classed staterooms get the (sticky) mailed out tags. Everyone else has to print out their own - on your Edocs there is a small suitcase image about midway down the form to PRINT your tags. Not to worry too much when you arrive at the pier for registration and check-in the porters will have generic tags - fill out the tag with your NAME and CABIN NUMBER leave a tip and go check-in and on board for the cruise fun to start. Checking in at 11am - Baggage delivered usually after 3-4 pm for a 7pm departure - Suggested to have a change of clothing in your carry-on luggage - Baggage not delivered or incomplete - a visit to Lost & Found or the naughty room may be required If you have not received your luggage about an hour before scheduled sailing show some concern - Well a little bit of hysteria - raised eye brow - some degree of fidgety - what am I going to wear for the rest of the trip - they don't have my style or size in the gift shop - maybe not all that bad perhaps your bag lost its tag. It certainly helps to have ID on your luggage Worst case your luggage is delivered after 9pm after the ship clears the last harbor buoy - whew ! No problem the dining dress code does not apply the first night on the ship. But having that change of clothing in your carry-on bag will save the day ah er first night on board ! LOL !

But I am in the haven so I was worried the tags have not arrived yet. But thank you for the information about where to go in case luggage didn’t arrive. I think I would have be crazy if it didn’t because i never planned for that and I wouldn’t have known who to call!!!

Don’t We were on the Bliss July 14-21(6 in our group, 1 new to NCL) and we all got sticky mailed out bag tags, a 1st for me. We all had ID rooms. I had already printed mine out as I always had, don’t know if this is a new or 1 time occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is just for the inaugural season, just Alaska or what. But for now, everyone gets the mailed tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted August 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Something changing - old school to a new or former method ? For cheap-o NCL that is an awful amount of postage - wonder what is happening ? But indeed those sticky back tags that are colored coded (like the disembarking tags) are great and don't require the use of additional tape a stapler or other method of attachment. Thanks for the feedback - one less thing to worry about finding a printer (with paper) to print out the tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprille Posted August 12, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Something changing - old school to a new or former method ? My guess would be (and this is only a guess) is that since the Seattle port is still under construction where the Bliss docks that it speeds up the baggage drop off area. I've read from other posters it gets a little chaotic at drop off. :::shrugs::: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shidah Posted August 13, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I’ve stayed in the Haven 3 times, and have yet to ever receive luggage tags. Hmmmppff! So I’ve always printed them out and put them in plastic luggage tag holders from Amazon. I’ve received the card from concierge so I know they have my correct address.

This is our third time staying in the haven too!! The first time was an upgrade 3 days before cruise so didn’t have a chance to receive them. The last time was in 2015 and I received them by now.

Is there any one else in your party at an address other than yours ? Once NCL sent the tags to my cruising partner at his address thinking I think that he was the holder of the reservation - got that straighten out. You received the Concierge card/letter and no tags ??? Did you call the phone number or email for assistance ? At two weeks before sailing - use PLAN B make your own tags. The NCL seahorse (pony) express is not forthcoming ! NCL tags leave a lot to be desired - lack of uniform policy - recent case noted NCL BLISS Seattle sailing tags made for entire ship - yet at other times tags only made for Suites and in your case none at all ! Hmmmppff! indeed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is trivial and I can print them out myself but I would think with the price you pay for the haven I shouldn’t have to worry about this.
