Little reminders

I keep finding little laundry tags on my clothes *sigh*

It's how I know the iten is worth packing. After packing it last time or the time before, I must have actually worn it.

Me also, It reminds me that I had a good time and want to do it agian. However in 5 days I will!!!!!

It's bittersweet lol We had such an amazing time! but now I'm home having to do my own laundry lol

Am hearing you loud and clear.

:p

As soon as the laundry is returned to the cabin, the first thing I do before putting the items away -- remove all laundry tags.

None of them have ever made it our home.

Even tho I know they are there (and SO enjoy finding them), I never remove them unless absolutely necessary. Too many great memories to toss away - and I personally love the reminder of sailing to Alaska on a beautiful HAL ship.:D

I wish there was a standard place to put the tags! I don't want to sound like a party-poop, but I like to take the tags off when I get my clothes back. Sometimes I can not find them, no matter how much I look. Recently I put something on at home, and finally, FINALLY! felt the tag. It must have been there since May.

It didn't feel so much good as it felt scratchy. :(

It always makes me smile when I see them!

I thought my husband and I were the only ones who smile when we see those yellow tags still on our clothes...glad to know we are in good company. :)

Just got dressed and found a tag in my sweatpants (it's cool here today). The sweatsuit just came back from Alaska, and I forgot that I left it folded so it could just be packed. I forgot all about the tag at the time! :eek:

At least it was easy to spot.

I was really surprised to find a tag on some capris that I had worn on a cruise 7 months before! :eek: It was a warm weather cruise in October -- winter came and went, and it finally warmed up enough here to wear capris.

I was wondering what that scratchy feeling was at my waist.....and yes I did smile. :D

I never seem to pull them off when we are on the ship but each time I launder DH's undies after we get home, I pull them off. Our dry cleaner at home used to give me a 'sideways glance' when they saw a tag they know is not theirs when I bring in clothes after they were done on a ship. They now recognize them as HAL's laundry :D and ask about our cruise.

By the time I've gotten rid of most of them, I know it's time for another cruise. :)

Need to collect some more.

Those tags aren't always easy to find! It's kind of like finding old luggage tags stuffed in the pockets of your luggage, brings back the memories!

I LOVE finding the laundry tags on something I haven't worn in a while. Like others have said, they bring back fond memories of past cruises.

Personally, I tend to leave them on the clothes until they start curling at the edges and itching.

Why take the tags off while still on the cruise? That means the next time you send a garment out to the laundry, staff has to affix a new tag each time!

Doesn't that tag number correspond to the laundry bag number? If you leave tags on clothes while cruising and mix together things that have been in previous loadS won't some of the things risk being "lost and maybe not found" ? Perhaps the excellent workers in HAL's laundry are trained to watch for previous tags and remove them to prevent mix ups.

I was surprised to recently find a tag on DH's jeans that has lived on those pants since last spring! So much for "sharp eyesight"! No excuses from this laundry lady. But it did leave me wishing for another cruise, like right now!

A new tag has to be affixed each time anyway to correspond to the number on the invoice for that load. No sense confusing the issue with too many tags for the laundry workers to check.

Somewhere incorporated with that number on the tag is your cabin number! I know because our cabin number in 2010 was 7056 (blue tags that sailing), and our cabin number in 2011 was 2707 (pink tags that sailing). The numbers "7056" and "2707" were on the tag of those garments from each respective sailing.

I look at the laundry tags as an easy way to remember what is clean when I go home:):) I too just found one the other day - and yes they do have the cabin number on them:D

Brings back memories of the tissue wrapped little things and the well delivered other things. Love laundry on HAL:D

I think HAL does a great job with the laundry and dry cleaning.

I'm careful to not send anything of mine that requires delicate care and find if I'm careful what I send, we are happy with how they handle what they have done. :)

No one does whites better than HAL laundries. :)

:D And here I was thinking I was the only one who kept "finding" those little tags long after a cruise. I actually found one this summer from a Princess cruise that was over 2 years ago. :eek:

I also keep the tags on after they come back from the laundry, It does bring back fond memories...as a mater of fact, I am wearing a t-shirt with one of the tags on....lol

Too funny, I found some too quite recently from our April cruise. And yes indeed, it does make you smile:D

Gee, the only number on my tagged clothes is always my cabin number! That's why I leave them on for duration of the trip.
