Another Luggage Tag Question


Recommended Posts

What happens if I don't put Royals Crappy Paper luggage tags on my suitcases at home and show up at the port "untagged"? Do the porters have better tags? (I'm referring to Port Everglades- Harmony) thanks

Regardless of the ship or port, the porters at the pier can and will put tags on your bags for you.

How do you insert them into the plastic holder without folding??

I just cut the outline of the tag out and fold that in half to slide in the holder. That way the information is visible from both side of the tag.

 

Ordered mine from Amazon...love them!!

I cut them out and fold once.

 

 

 

Yes, but still requires the one fold. I will start cutting them out from now on. Already folded and installed in our clear plastic and wire holders for our cruise tomorrow.

 

I thought it was a test by Royal to see if we can follow simple instructions as the tags when printed on paper have several fold here lines. Lol

Me too. They are then the size of the disembarkation tags. Weird how they make them different

sizes. My poor sister was adamant that she had to fold that huge sheet of paper. She made

such a mess, the porters had to replace her tags with theirs.

 

I bought her the plastic reusable sleeves for her tags for Christmas. ;)

Maybe we now have good folders and not so good folders?? Folded properly, they fit fine in plastic tags that have been listed on this site but cutting out instead is probably a better way.

I don't see how making one fold in a 1-2" wide piece of paper can be difficult.

It's not. From now on I will cut my tags out of a single sheet of paper and then make the one fold.

 

Having said that, folding the entire sheet using the printed fold me here lines is not difficult at all. Call this the five fold method.

You'll just slow everyone else down because you didn't want to mess with Royal's crappy tags.

Do other cruise lines have non-crappy luggage tags?

I use the clear packing tape method and several staples and it makes them quite sturdy. I also put 2 tags on each suitcase. One one the upper handle and one on the side handle. If I'm flying in the night before and not driving, I pack my prepared tags and a small stapler so I can replace the flight tags with cruise ones the morning of the cruise.

Do you practice the cut and one fold technique as described by Bob or the Five Fold Method?

I do all the folds! Want to make that paper as thick as possible and completely cover it with packing tape, front and back. :D I have a bugaboo about luggage tags and not receiving my luggage. Hence the extra tags on each case. I even put them on my carry ons in case they somehow get separated from me. I can never fully relax and truly start my cruise until I see all my cases at my cabin door!

Do you recycle all that paper?

Disney still mails out the old fashioned type of luggage tags, the self-stick kind that you just loop around the suitcase handle and seal. They also still mail out hard copy cruise documents.

From my experience, Disney Cruise Lines are a lot more expensive and do not include a Casino.

I stopped putting them on my carry on when we were the last to get off a shuttle and the porters had already grabbed everything with a luggage tag on it and put it in the bin. Had to get them to fish mine out from under a couple of suitcases.

 

So when we take a hotel shuttle I know anything without a luggage tag is going to be unloaded and sit there until you get off to claim it.
