Rare Jim The Scot Posted February 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2022 We,re seasoned cruisers/ travellers but due to covid not cruised for two years so you need to cut me some slack on what I,m going to ask 😆 This is where a feel like a right diddy Unaccustomed to this cruise hub thingy and noticed theres a link for printing our luggage labels.We have never had to do this in our mega years of holidaying and How does this work and how do you attache to suitcases? 🤔 Any printing we do which is limited is done on your normal A4 sheet of paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2BACRUISER Posted February 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) The labels print on A4 paper so no worries there, colour for preference. They come with printed lines to guide you folding them, I laminated ours and stapled and hole punched them and used ribbon to fasten to case handles. We also have had labels issued to us at the airport when we made a late booking. hth ps a local stationery shop or library may laminate for you Edited February 21, 2022 by 2BACRUISER add ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howmuch! Posted February 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Jim - it sounds like you have booked and are about to leave shortly. Or are you just doing some ground work in case temptation gets the better of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Rouser Posted February 22, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Jim, I got some off Amazon for last year: type this into the Amazon search bar. About £7.00 for 5 well worth it. When you print your luggage labels out. They fold to the exact size.

Cruise Luggage Tag Holders Slim (5 Pack) Clear Waterproof PVC Tag Holder with Zip Seal & Steel Loops - Spooky RR,was looking at them today Thanks though Another silly question The luggage tags you print off are details of your cabin and deck .Is it best just to attache these to your luggage once you collect cases on arrival at airport in our case Palma or at the port?

I attached mine at the port. You never know when the luggage handlers start throwing your cases onto the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinnamon Posted February 24, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 24, 2022 When we cruised last month we were told to put our cruise labels on our cases before the flight, which surprised me. I have those plastic covers and they attach very securely so it was fine but I would have been very reluctant if I'd tried to put on the paper ones uncovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenbalti Posted February 24, 2022 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I attached mine the night before and printed a few spares to take with me, never had a problem.I used two per case. Take some photos of your case with labels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First timer fairy Posted February 10, 2023 #18 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hi everyone I am trying to access my luggage labels for our cruise to Caribbean on 19th Feb. Cruise control give me this message "Thank you for preparing to print your luggage labels" but they do not allow me any further!! Anyone else had problems? I know I've still got a week to do it but I like to have everything done, ticked off the list!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Rouser Posted February 11, 2023 #19 Share Posted February 11, 2023 If not able to print luggage tags 1 week before cruise. They give you luggage tags at the Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_a_builder Posted March 23, 2023 #20 Share Posted March 23, 2023 On Discovery 2 in Caribbean last week Labels really need to be on cases on initial airport check in Since the next time you see your bags is out side your cabin door With out the right labels it might be much longer before you see them ?

GOQ Posted March 23, 2023 #21 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I did the transatlantic cruise on Discovery, flying from Gatwick to Barbados, in April last year. I did not get allocated a cabin number until I actually boarded the ship in Barbados. Which meant I didn't get any luggage tags at all, which worried me quite a bit. When I expressed my worries a TUI person told me they check passengers luggage against a manifest at the airport and not to worry. I was given my cabin number in the pre boarding shed in Barbados. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCruise Posted March 23, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 23, 2023 We also found on one trip, when the bags disappeared from the coach with no cabin label, that they can also look at the name on the airline luggage label to work it out. Works better of course if you don't have a common surname! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
