Baggage Tags

[Cruiser 5452]

How soon before your cruise date do you normally receive your baggage tags?

[RedIguana]

30 days out they become available in your e-docs.

You can also click on the button on your set sail pass page.  

 

Print them out...they don't send them.

Went on a Disney Cruise about 15 years ago, and they sent nice sturdy laminated baggage tags.  Now you have to print your own and staple the ends together.  Worried if it rains and the tags get wet and the ink runs.........🙁

I normally print them out and put them in one of these luggage tag holders.  They are very reasonable on Amazon, and they hold up well.  Been using them for years.

Royal Caribbean uses the skinny tags. Other lines use wider ones. You can get the wider luggage tag holders and the RCI tags will still fit in them. I use the wider ones as I will do other lines.

I just let the valet put them on at the pier.

Celebrity also has the skinny tags.

I tag everything, including carry-on and laptop bag. Just in case I do a drop off or forget a bag somewhere, it has the room number on it. And I don't want to risk an illegible scribble from the porter.

I tag everything also.  My husband, a transplant survivor, has a medicine bag that we would never want to lose!

We use luggage tag holders to minimize the chance of the paper ripping and having our bags down in lost and found. 

[calakerfan00]

I just tag the top and side handle and so far have not lost neither tag.

[njkruzer]

2 tags per bag in holder. Before we had holders we  covered them with clear wide tape.  Our only problem was paper tags on bags after a TA cruise arriving in Black Falcon Pier in Boston. 2 bags were misplaced for more than hour.  So even when departing 2 tags on each bag.  Try to put in them holder also.

[ALWAYS CRUZIN]

We do cary on. No need for them.

We also put a copy inside of each piece of luggage, back packs, carry-ons, equipment bags, etc.  Also, we put a copy of the boarding pass in each as mentioned.  Paranoid?  Maybe!  But, it works for us.

Agree but also name,  home address, email and cell phone.

Order luggage tag holders from Amazon.  Very inexpensive and they last for a long time…

I often cruise with my 21 YO DD. She likes to dress up. So that means I have to wear suits. Notice the plural 😂. No just carry on for me. But we drive to most of them, so no big deal.

Hmmm...I like that idea. I usually toss the extra luggage tags I print out in the bags given to the porters, never considered boarding passes.

[shipgeeks]

We cover them with wide clear tape all the way around.  Have not had a problem.

Good idea to print an extra, though, and put it inside the bag.

I love the clear plastic luggage tags myself.  I also have them on my little carry-on as I'm always forgetting my cabin number 🤣
