gargoyle999 Posted January 5, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've been seeing references to getting luggage tags via e-docs. How does that work? Seems like if I print something out it would be pretty flimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargoyle999 Posted January 5, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Ohhh...guess that would be a good use for some clear duct tape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracey980 Posted January 5, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2008 How do you secure the tags on your luggage to ensure they don't fall off? If they are laminated, I guess you just tape them on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClerkPatsy Posted January 5, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I used eTags on my last cruise in December. We just printed them out, folded as instructed. Once we wrapped them around the handle of our luggage I used tape to secure the loose ends. We drove to the port and didn't have to deal with airline gorillas ... only cruise apes:D . They stayed on fine and we had our luggage before sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClerkPatsy Posted January 5, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Because the luggage tags are not color coded has anyone had a problem wiht misplaced luggage or get their luggage late late late??? Nope. My luggage tags were blue with TBA. Once we got to the dock, the porter searched the manifest, scratched out TBA, wrote the cabin number on the tag and took off with my luggage. Got the bags before sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted January 5, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Because the luggage tags are not color coded has anyone had a problem wiht misplaced luggage or get their luggage late late late??? Nope... the luggage tags have a bar code that Carnival uses to place your bags. Additionally, your cabin number is on the tag along with a line for the passenger's name. No problem at all.

cruisin_fanatic Posted January 5, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've been seeing references to getting luggage tags via e-docs. How does that work? Seems like if I print something out it would be pretty flimsy. Even the tags that come in the mail with your documents are of the same flimsy paper quality. I really hate the way they have the new tags because they seem much easier to tear. I would go with the laminate option that someone else suggested and make sure they are on your luggage securely.
