RCVoyager Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Even a seasoned cruiser has an elementary question sometimes. I just completed on-line check in for our June cruise. The print out contains a page that in big letters says "Luggage Tags". Below is a luggage tag looking placard. The text in between says "They are not real luggage tags". What gives? I can't find anything on the website that says where to get "real" luggage tags. A little help please? Another question, has this changed in the past year? We just sailed on RCCL last April, and I don't remember this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 There is a separate link online that may not be available to you yet. I believe it appears on the right hand side of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRC Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 About 49 days from sailing, you should get an email saying that your cruise documents are ready. Log in and down load them. No need to print that whole thing, but there is one page that will be a luggage tag. Just print as many copies of that page as needed.

RCVoyager Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks. Has this changed in the past year? I don't remember a two-step process last year. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks. Has this changed in the past year? I don't remember a two-step process last year. Thanks. I don't think so. It was that way when I printed then in December 2014 for a January 2015 cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 You can also download a PDF of just the luggage tag by itself on the online check-in page (once your e-docs are issued). Michel, Galveston Steve, Wilson and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Marc that is great. I was trying to figure out how to copy that and paste and got very lost. Thanks for doing it. RCVoyager, this isn't new. I always download my tags. Now I have never received an email from RCCL telling me they were ready but I have received an email saying my SetSail pass is ready to download but sometimes the tags aren't ready yet. I just keep looking about once a week. Candie judeeastman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I always double print the tags so that each bag has two tags. I then also cover the tags (at home) with 2" wide clear tape, which makes them almost impossible to tear. With two tags per bag and travel information inside each bag I have never had a problem or lost bag on a cruise. Leaving the ship I just take my own bags off and avoid all issues.

I've done that, too, and have even laminated them as I have a machine at home. Even so, I'm a big fan of these sleeves as they're super convenient.

PRC Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I always use 2 per bag as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 These are my luggage tags from Amazon. They come in an 8 pack that I bought two years ago and am still using the first two out of the package. They stay on without a problem. I do the same thing Todd does, double print my tags and put two in the holder. Have never had a problem. Candie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I use the plastic sleeves with two per bag, so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thank you for this information. Glad someone asked because I had not idea I was going to have to need/want something for the luggage tags. I ordered them yesterday. I love this forum, so helpful!

Why two tags printed in each holder? just to make it double sided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Why two tags printed in each holder? just to make it double sided? The tags are essentially double sides as you fold them over and the duplicate info is on each side. I think he was saying that he puts two tags on each bag in case one falls off.
