Just for fun - NCL ship luggage tag colours

The last few years NCL has been allocating certain colour of luggage tags to each ship. I have saved a few - can others fill in the missing colours?

BLISS -

BREAKAWAY - LIME

DAWN -

EPIC -

ESCAPE - MAROON

GEM - GREEN

GETAWAY - TEAL

JADE - GREY

JEWEL -

JOY -

PEARL -

SKY -

SPIRIT - RED

STAR -

SUN -YELLOW

PRIDE OF AMERICA -

I've always been under the impression that the color had more to do with where the luggage was to end up on the ship, than any specific color related to the ship.

No, each ship is assigned a color. Clearly marked on the tag is either Forward, Aft and your cabin number.

I always thought it was by class - I guess not. I can confirm my Pearl tags for my trip in 21 days are Purple!

Star - blue (still have a couple from our first cruise Feb. 2012 they were still sending them snail mail ) :D

Epic is Lime

I have had Teal on Epic and Getaway. I was under the impression it had to do with the loading point and temporary storage locations on the ship

Each ship is not assigned a specific color luggage tag. Each SAILING is assigned a different color tag. IOW, this week's sailing might be LIME, next week's sailing might be ORANGE.

This is done so that if a guest left the tag on the luggage after embarking, that there would be less chance that outgoing luggage at the end of their cruise would be confused by incoming luggage from the next cruise (keeping in mind that disembarkation tags might be torn and fall off).

Embarkation tags, not disembarkation tags.

It's the colour of luggage tag that you receive with the eDocs.

But it looks like SeaShark is correct.

This explanation makes a lot of sense

Encore’s are Dark Blue 😀

I’ve been on the spirit 5 times and the embarkation tags were always red.

 My Jade cruise had grey tags.

Except it isn't true,  i've been on b2b sailings and both have the same color tag.

Not sure why you are arguing with a 2-year old post on a dead thread.
