EDOCS, no luggage tags, what to do?

One page of your e-docs contains your luggage tag. Simply print that page as many times as you need to so that all your luggage has a tag. Instructions on how to fold and attach the tags are also on that page.

Print them out, they are on the last page of your edocs.

[FMCowboy]

ok, thanks!! Found them!! Whew!! Somehow all these weeks I had never got to "mydocuments" LOL

[Wennfred]

Should be the last page of your eDocs, if you don't see them then you get get them once you hit the pier.

 

Your eDocs are not your Fun Pass. Log on to Carnival Website and click on MyCruise, or click on View Cruise details then click on My Documents.

I read somewhere on here to use clear packing tape to cover the paper luggage tags. I was afraid that the paper (even though it's folded in 3) would just rip off enroute to the pier. So yesterday we printed the tags, wrote our name on it and covered them with 2 strips of packing tape. Now they look/feel like regular luggage tags. We'll use a stapler to attach them to our luggage.

Just follow the instructions on the site and print them.

I also laminate them and staple them where marked!!!

Enjoy!!!

Maybe that duct tape really has a need...you know in case the staple does not hold, just slap the tags on with some duct tape...

(I hear ya...duct tape is on another thread!!:)

Sounds like you are all set. We just used those type of tags for the first time last month. The packing tape holds very well. In fact, I had to use scissors to get them off.:D

I used the packing tape and then punched holes in each end and used zip ties to secure them to our bags.

Thats is like the perfect idea! I love this site and I am learning so many things!

The luggage tags shouldn't be put on until the morning of the cruise before you leave for port. If you are flying in , put them on before you get a cab for the port, or transfer to the port. If you are diriving to port, no worries then, put em on just before you leave...

 

I use surplus label covers from work. I have three boxes and don't need them, so I use em to seal the two ends of the tags. I also used them to "laminate" the tag....they're gonna get tossed in time, so I might as well put them to good use!!!!!! Scotch tape would work as well, and scotch tape on a cruise could come in handy...

Some have suggested that if you're flying in, then to put them on before your flight, just in case your lugguage is lost...er, delayed:o Of course, then some stated, that if that happens, you'd need to fill out a report that would indicate where you'd be. 6 and 1/2 dozen, I guess.

 

I too, covered my tags with packing tape, punched a hole at the end and will attach with a zip tie.

That's what I do also.....and it works well

Just returned from Alaska on the Spirit. We laminated our tags and took a small stapler to attach. It worked perfectly.

If you're flying, it doesn't hurt to take some extra copies of the tags and a roll of tape (but no scissors!) in your carry on - then you can do a quick repair job at the arrival airport - one of our tags was quite mangled on our flight - got soaked in a snowstorm sitting on the tarmac, so the tape held just fine, but it was unreadable! We luckily had some extra tags to slap on, though.

 

I do like the old tags better, but the new seem to work.

After I printed our edoc tags, I "pseudo" laminated the tags by covering both sides with clear packing tape. Overlapped about an inch and stapled a few times. They did not come off - earlier this summer I went to use the bags again - tried ripping it off and I wound up having to cut them off w/ a scissor.

I find the the ones you print are too flimsy. The easiest thing to do is just ask the prters for luggage tags, add your name and cabin number and you are good to go. It might take an extra minute or two but it is not a big deal.

[Toddcan]

Oh yea! I am mixing it up!

 

I printed mine out, laminated them, and I will be punching a hole and using zip ties to secure to the luggage.
