teddy Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 We have always printed the luggage tags out at my wife's work using a color printer, but she's still working from home and only goes to the office once every couple weeks. Should we make a special trip to print them in color, or will black and white be okay? With all the hoops to jump through in order to cruise, this seems rather inconsequential now that I've typed it out, but oh well.

CruizIan Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 @WesKineticis correct and even worst case scenario they can make up bag tags at the curb for you when you arrive if God forbid you didnt have enough or even forgot them entirely. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 B&W or Color will work for you. We also acquired these RCL-approved luggage tags from Amazon that fit the printed tags perfectly.

BigKarl Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 One thing I have found is that if you buy the luggage tag you should consider the environment in which they will be used. I have found that in the tropical climates where humidity is prominent the printed tickets tend to discolor the plastic sleeves of the luggage tags. I combat this by printing the tags and then covering over them with clear packaging tape. This prevents the color or B&W ink or laserjet ink from marking up your tags.

Heymarco Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Luggage tags haven’t been needed and that’s why Royal quit mailing them years ago. Porters will tag at port and get bag to you in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry mine on too, but still affix the luggage tags anyways. Gotta make sure the people on the airplane (that I'll never see again) know I'm getting on a boat after 18 months of no cruising, I'm looking forward to repeating this ritual in just 3 weeks!

We'll be feeling the same way twice...passing the Antigen test AND putting the luggage tags on just before the embarkation process...it's a two'fer!

Ampurp85 Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 My TA sent my edocs and luggage tags today, super excited. Also FedEx just delivered my home test. We will be in Orlando the week before our cruise so I will affix my tags that Sat night. I ordered the clear plastic tag holders, so I don't have to wear my bathroom the entire cruise .

RoyalUp is run by a third-party company so it's unrelated. teddy and BrianB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
