pamw Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 What do others do when fly cruising. Are your ships labels put onto your hold luggage prior to flying or do you wait until you claim your luggage at the airport before putting ships labels on before going to the ship?

Gears Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 What do others do when fly cruising. Are your ships labels put onto your hold luggage prior to flying or do you wait until you claim your luggage at the airport before putting ships labels on before going to the ship? The latter of the two. We take a small roll of tape to affix the tags to our luggage once we grab our bags off the luggage carousel at the airport.

Matt Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 We wait to put luggage tags on until after the flight. No need to add any risk of the bags going to the wrong place or being ripped off accidentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donprivett Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 This is something I found on another topic but works quite well. These luggage tags on Amazon make it easy so you don't need tape or staplers. I used them on my last trip, they look so much more professional. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E4SQNU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bob_KY, CowboyMedic, Gears and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSglitz Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The vinyl luggage sleeves/tags sold on Amazon are great. You simply slip your paper tags into the clear sleeve and attach it to your luggage after you retrieve your luggage from the carousel. It has a strong cable cord so it cannot be ripped off the luggage. Check it out by searching "cruise luggage tags" You won't regret it Pamela27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela27 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 We usually stay in a hotel prior to a cruise. I put my luggage tags in my handbag and when we head off to the ship I staple them on. I bring a stapler with me in my suitcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a "no brainer", easy to use, almost indestructible and can be used many times. I recommend putting them on after baggage claim.

shannonk Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I see different shapes/sizes available, and having never cruised before, I have no idea what RCL tags are shaped like. Any guidance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I see different shapes/sizes available, and having never cruised before, I have no idea what RCL tags are shaped like. Any guidance? Just search for Royal Caribbean tags. They are long and skinny. Carnival's are short and wide. shannonk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whenismynextcruise Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 The link that donprivett supplied goes directly to luggage tags for RCL. I have them and have used them multiple times and are very easy to use and very durable. Have a great cruse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamw Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thank you all for suggestions/advice. We have two of the plastic tie on tags and hubby has laminated the other two we need, but I think we do need to buy more of the plastic ones as they are easy to fasten onto the cases. I'll pop them in my hand luggage as suggested and put them on the cases when we arrive at our pre-stay hotel. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
