colbe Posted July 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I am surprised to see that the colour (color) strip on the luggage labels for our next cruise are bright orange. I would have expected that the Club Orange people to be assigned that colour. Anyone with any experience of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKIslandGirl Posted July 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2023 We always use a black and white printer so I'm not sure the color makes a difference. It must mean something though. I think ours was orange on our May cruise when I saw it on the computer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted July 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2023 They used to use different colors to signify the ship, if I recall correctly. What ship are you on with orange tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare POA1 Posted July 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Just now, colbe said: Nieuw Statendam That could be it. We're on the Nieuw Statendam on in December and we have orange tags. I don't recall having orange tags in the past, but then again this is our first time on the NS. I'm pretty sure the color is for baggage handling. If you are in a busy turnaround port you can have several Holland America ships calling on a given day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learningtocruise1 Posted July 9, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2023 My 2 cents changing cabin class and decks.., Rotterdam, July 15, out of Amsterdam. Original cabin was Vista, Deck 5. Goldish color tag. Took the upgrade offer to Neptune, Deck 7. Exact same color tag as before, but had yellow “Priority” printed on the luggage tag this time. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find (or buy) a marker or highlighter and outline the B&W stripe (or strip) in the correct color. Any little visual cue is a good one.

SusieKIslandGirl Posted July 9, 2023 #15 Share Posted July 9, 2023 It’s funny how sometimes your brain reads what the sentence should be saying, not what’s actually written. I didn’t notice strip vs stripe.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
