luvtravel Posted April 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Getting ready for our May 3 cruise out of Vancouver. Just today got access to documents and the bag tags won't print properly. Cuts off the vital info. Could not see a link to order any either. We'll be staying at the PanAm in Vancouver and the hotel staff will take the bags down to the ship for us--but we need the tags on it. Trying to avoid a bag drop line if possible. Anyone else have to this problem - and a solution. Thanks for any help - will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted April 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Only Canada and the US booked cruises were able to order luggage tags. But that has changed. I cant remember when our last tags were mailed to us. It has to be about a year or more now. I'm thinking Oct 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2023 No ordering of mailed tags anymore. If you can't get them to print, then tags at the pier will have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Sounds like a problem with the scaling you are using for your printer. Check and make sure you have 8 1/2 x 11 and actual size selected. You also might try via the web site and click link and you should be able to pop up just the boarding pass. \ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case the hotel could most likely print them off or they'll have self-serve computers/printers; do it right when you check-in, then it's done and you don't have to think about them again Other than the tags did your printer print everything else okay? Would need to see your printer settings to determine what is off, might just be a portrait / landscape thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgabriel Posted April 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Are you in North America or the UK? If you’re in the UK, your paper size will need to be changed to Letter. And even if you’re in NA, check your printer settings. With a recent update on my work computer, my paper settings were all out of whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Wildcat Posted April 7, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Have never had a bag drop line. Always just handed to the porter. Your hotel concierge can also print them for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise till you drop Posted April 8, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) I found a big difference in printing the tags from my laptop as opposed to using the app on my phone. I had the same tag cut off problem Might want to try that Edited April 8, 2023 by Cruise till you drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hotel concierge can also print them for you. Only time I saw one was in Hawaii, the bag drop line was at their giant luggage scanner Also, a bag drop line could be confused as a "need baggage tags" line. In some ports the porters can whip out a blank tag and write your stateroom number on it. For other ports, and this was a recent change to L.A., they apparently don't trust we can accurately remember our own room numbers so the porters will direct you to the need baggage tag line where they'll lookup your name on a passengers list to verify your room number. If the ship is mostly full and you show up during peak times, that line can get long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you printing direct from the web site or a downloaded pdf file of your cruise docs ? Edited April 8, 2023 by JBare extra question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miXterOB Posted April 8, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I have the tag emailed from Celebrity and then take my cell to the UPS Store and have them print as many as I wish...need plus fallback for grace...not expensive and they look fantastic...higher grade paper than mine so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save that page with the bag tag on it to a PDF file. Then print as many copies of that as you like. You can of course save the entire edocs as another file as well, if you want to go back and read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
