teddie Posted January 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hello, and thanks in advance... How important is it to print out the luggage tags in color? I only have a B&W printer. Should I go to Staples and pay for color print outs, or is it a non-issue? Teddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted January 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Color can help expedite sorting, but in the end they the bags will get to your room with all the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted January 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Not only does it not have to be in color, you don't even have to print them ahead. You should, but if you forget, don't stress over it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTSKIandCRUISEGUY Posted January 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I print in black and white. Then I use a highliter to color in some of the colors, but it's not really necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted January 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 5, 2023 No need B&W is fine. However, I would buy some luggage tag holders to put them in. I bought some years ago and use them when we cruise. I cut down the tag, fold in half, and insert in the holder. They have really strong steel loop chains to attach to your luggage. Much better and easier than folding, stapling, and/or laminating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare moposh Posted January 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Is there generally someone at the port able to staple or tape luggage tags. I'll be flying and won't put on luggage tags until I get to port. Wondering if I have to pack tape. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good case for going to Amazon and searching for cruise luggage tag holders (like mentioned a couple of posts ago). They're plastic, you slide your luggage tags into them, then use a steel cable (included) to attach them. You put them in the outside pocket of your luggage before flying, then at the hotel you take them out and attach them to your luggage, and voila! you're ready to drop them off with the port porters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted January 5, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We never print them out ... We get them (airline type) from one of the terminal porter's...write our cabin # on them...attach them and we're good to go. We've been doing this since RCI stopped mailing tags out (so a long time) and have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_dylaness Posted January 5, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have no idea where we would get our luggage tags? We sail in 10 days so I guess we will figure it out at the pier. I miss the days of the luggage tags coming in the mail. It really made the cruise feel like it was really happening! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The porters who take your bags have staplers and/or tape (as well as extra blank luggage tags). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rudeney Posted January 6, 2023 #23 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I am a bit OCD. Not only did I print mine out in color, I Photoshopped them to remove the "fold/staple here" lines, and slightly enlarged them to fully fill the plastic tag holders from Amazon. 😛 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are dependent on a porter to actually write the correct numbers and the ship’s personnel to be able to read the porter’s handwriting. Print your tags. Put one tag on the top handle and one tag on the side handle. Easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make one out at the pier when you give luggage to the porter. However, I feel that's pretty inconsiderate as it takes up the porters time when they could be picking up other passengers luggage. Can you imagine how slow it would be if everybody waited and filled out their tags at the pier while the porter stood around and waited?
