Boston Babe Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ok, I know it's been 30 years since my last cruise so forgive me. I was able to finally check in (90 days to be exact!). and printed set sail pass, and a picture of a luggage tag? Where do I get them from , TA or RC and when will they send? (and don't laugh at me! LOL). UkuleleCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Final luggage tags often are not available until around 40 days before sailing. The final tags have your cabin number on them and are colored. They look like this: coneyraven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY TA has not been the best to say the least so appreciate this! do I get anything else from TA or just nothing? Print everything out? Unless your TA has thrown in specific items like a specialty dinner or something you shouldn't need anything from the TA. To check in at the terminal you need the SetSail pass. You don't need to print the whole 'edoc' package after checking in online. SetSail passes vary by ship. As Royal implements new check in changes this year it may change again. They are trying to make the check in process go even faster so you spend less time in the terminal and more time on your vacation. In truth you can just show up to the terminal and be checked in but it's better to have the SetSail pass and luggage tags printed ahead of time. The porters at the terminal can make up a luggage tag on the spot but it's better to print them in color and to have them attached to your bags already when you pull up to the terminal.

LOL Not too anxious to get cruising again am I! LOL @Boston Babe -just a quick piece of unsolicited advice: If you are flying to get to your cruise, put the luggage tags in your carry on and then attach them at baggage claim when you arrive. That way they cannot interfere with the airline tags. I do have the same ones--they ARE great and they attach very easily and quickly.

This year not flying leaving from Baltimore and Cape Liberty, but January we are. I thought of that as it can get confusing. Thanks so much!

Beyond Vertical Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I paid fedex office to print my luggage tags on a high quality glossy thick paper. Cot less than $2 for 4 copies.

JLMoran Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I just got my luggage tags yesterday via email, at the 46 day mark. Part of an overall e-brochure with cruise contract, port information, embarkation time window (I was told "12:30-4:30", to which I say "yeah, right!"), and a fair bit of promotional fluff. All printed out and in our tag holders, ready to be clipped to our bags in 45 days! UkuleleCruiser and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cez Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Personally I prefer them (below) as they are more multi purpose. unlike very narrow RCL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017BVFA00/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B017BVFA00&pd_rd_wg=Bs8MA&pd_rd_r=HXKTG0RBC4B32CCZ9T06&pd_rd_w=U38HS&th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 These are the ones I bought, based on earlier recommendations here: Cruise Luggage Tag Holder Zip Seal & Steel - Royal Caribbean & Celebrity Cruise (8 Luggage Tag Holders) Bit wider than the folded RCI tag, can probably accommodate the ones from some other cruise lines.

KLA Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 +1 for the plastic luggage tags - I did have a luggage tag fall off once right before we handed off to the porter so I could deal with it, so it does alleviate some of that worry.

Yes ,they should, remembering from the old days when they always mailed them out, they came with a wax paper type back on the ends and you peeled them off and stuck the ends together, so they should just be able to fold them in half and use your Amazon holders.

Not even Star Class. :( If you want pre-printed, self-adhesive luggage tags mailed to you, you must purchase the entire cruise docs package. The last time I did it, it was $35. Don't know if that's still the price but the truth is, those luggage tags are not worth $35, IMO. tiny260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I would just print, fold and insert in the luggage holders you have already bought, I bought the ones from Amazon 5 years ago and have had no issues with them, I did buy some additional of the little clear band that wrap around the luggage handles so if one broke I would have extras.

Katiel53 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I also have purchased the luggage tags from Amazon. I just wanted to mention that if anyone goes to purchase the tags, be sure you get the ones with the metal grommet and the metal wire that will have to have the ends screwed together. There are others that have no metal grommet and they attach to to the suitcase with plastic. The latter may be cheaper, but they rip off very easily. I have used the ones I have for several cruises and they are still like new. Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
