On Line Check In / Luggage Tags

I did on-line check in this morning for my October cruise, for my adult daughter and myself. I am Diamond, she is Platinum, and our printed Sea Passes indicate same. I checked myself in first, then her. When I got to the "Print Luggage Tags", the only one that popped up said "Platinum" on it. Is this normal? Is there something else I can do to get a "Diamond" tag (this is only my second cruise as Diamond); or should I just print out two "Platinum" tags and not sweat it, or wait until I get to the Pier? Which, I don't mind doing it either way, but would like to know if I am missing some kind of "trick".

I know, first world problems, but it would be good to know because we are booked on another cruise in February.

Thank you.

I don't know if there is corrective action you could take but as long as your SetSail Pass is correct, I wouldn't sweat it.

Luggage tags don't mean anything as long as your setsail pass and cabin number are correct.

I have never heard of a Crowne and Anchor category priority for luggage.

There might be for suites.

I understand that all luggage is separated by decks and sections before being loaded on the ship.

Print the two platinum's & don't worry about it, as long as the cabin # is correct. If you do it at the port it will not say platinum nor diamond and they are hand written and not always easy to read. Means nothing on the luggage tags anyways. Have a great trip!

We had the same thing happen to us recently. We are Diamond PLus and took 2 granddaughters on the cruise. All our luggage tags said Gold. Didn't effect anything. Tried to get it fixed before, with no luck. Really didn't affect anything. Strange RC can't get this right, but oh well.

You can email them explaining the situation and they will fix it. I did it the other week :)

Sorted in 24 hours

I'll go ahead and print another Platinum one. Everything else is the same, and I believe it is the decks that are color coded. Baggage handlers probably don't pay any attention to the status! Thanks everyone!

Slightly off topic, but related question...

How do you attach luggage tags printed at home to your luggage?

Use packing tape but wait till after your flights

I cruise fairly often, so I bought some clear plastic luggage tag "sleeves". You can get them from Cruise Critic or Amazon. Just a couple of dollars each.

I have a tiny stapler that I keep in my carry on bag.

I use it to staple the luggage tags on my bags.

The same thing happened to me. When i called to see how to correct the problem they said to just use them as they were.

sort of off topic, but what if you upgraded?? How long does it take for them to re-issue luggage tags?? Thank you in advanced for HELPFUL information..

We cover the tags in packing tape after they are folded and staple 2 tags to each piece.

Make sure they are filled out first! :)

We staple both ends on the bag at the port terminal with a small stapler we bring. We also place another tag, in the outside pocket of the luggage, in case the other tag gets ripped off.

I don't. I just give the porters my cabin number and they place REAL luggage tags on them.

We print up several of them and then have them laminated. We place them on our bags prior to boarding and staple them with a small stapler that we brought with us. :)

If I remember correctly, they don't - once your boarding docs are produced, your tags stay the same. Just give your new cabin number to the porters at embarkation.

It depends on how much time you have between the time you upgrade and your sail date.

They CAN and WILL reissue cruise docs that will have your upgraded luggage tags include if there is time to do so. If there is a change in cabins immediately before sailing they will not have time to reissue the docs.

In Jan 2015 we received a complimentary upgrade on Oasis and they reissued our cruise docs which included the new luggage tags.

If you have experienced a cabin change and there are more than say 5 working days before you sail, I recommend that you call either your TA or RCI directly and ask them to reissue your cruise docs. If they can, they will.

We have 32 days. Upgraded to a suite. Thank you for the help...

Very nice ! Enjoy your suite.

They should automatically reissue the docs but I would call them to remind them, just in case.

JS or GS and above? If GS, they used to mail them out (as of Nov 2015).....it's possible they've dropped that program too.
