Goodies in document bag from Windstar

Just received a bag from Windstar. All it had inside were 3 luggage tags and a 2 small dark blue rectangular luggage-tag-sized objects. Can someone tell me what these are? We've already received boarding documents online. I cruise a fair amount with Oceania and never saw anything like these. Thanks.

Be grateful for getting anything. We sail next week and have been sent nothing other than the emailed docs.

Don’t know, but I’m also very surprised you got anything. I haven’t received anything but emailed documents for the last couple years.

We’ve gotten them before - the dark blue luggage tag sized objects are actually luggage tags.

We have gotten the blue pouch and luggage tags four times out of our nine cruises with Windstar. Nothing this past July.

never got anything from Windstar. There is a repeaters party on the ship.

Viking sends nice luggage tags and a choice of many useful travel items if you are a previous cruiser

Viking also does a repeaters party and presents guests with a gift.

It might look odd that I have red Viking tags on my luggage when I board a Windstar cruise.

Received a bag once early on (1st or 2nd WS cruise), but it didn't have much in it, just the tags to put on for boarding the ship and maybe our docs. It wasn't that memorable. Have not received one since.

Ha, ha, ha! Silly me. Just as r&rd said, they ARE luggage tags! No special goodies. I'd almost been treating the wrapped dark blue things like they were tags Xray techs and radiologists wear to measure their monthly intake of radioactive material! Husband came home and unwrapped them and yes indeed they were two fancy luggage tags in addition to the paper luggage tags in the pouch. I was hoping for some candy. All this pre-cruise dieting is making me cranky.

I have about 10 pouches but in the last 5-6 cruises did not get them. I use these pouches for everything when I travel. Glad you received one. Happy Sailing.

Leaving in a couple days. Only received online documents. Were the previous cruisers able to check in for Air Tahiti online before leaving?

Yes, you can check in on-line, but you'll still have to wait in line at LAX. The ATN website states that once you've checked in on-line you can just give over your luggage in a separate line, but we did not find any such "baggage only" line for ATN at LAX. Everyone stood in the same line whether they'd checked in on-line or not.

Although, I suppose it's possible that our time at the counter was shorter because we'd checked in already.

Sadly, we have never received a thing. However we don’t live in the US and Windstar won’t even send you a brochure unless you live in the USA or Canada.

The bag really wasn't anything. Reminded me of a canvas pencil case from 3rd grade. It just had luggage tags in it. Miss the days of the fancy cruise documents- was part of the fun/anticipation.

We had the 4pm flight and left our hotel about 1pm. So checked in at ATN at 3 hours prior (excited to get to Tahiti) and there was no line. Had a leisurely lunch, read and people watched for the 3 hours. It went by quickly and flight boarded right on time.

We have many of those zipper bags with trip docs and luggage tags after many Windstar Cruises.. Love receiving them instead of Emailed docs. You now have to ask for them. Otherwise everything is Emailed.

Lucky you! We arrived at the airport at 1:00 for a 4:00 pm flight and the line was hellacious! LOL. Just shows, you never can tell...
