Too Much Time So Here's a Tag

[Randyk47]

Rained over 6 inches yesterday so I had too much time on my hands. :o In other threads we'd been talking about the new on-line luggage tags so I made up one in Microsoft PowerPoint so it included "Mariner". I've attached a sample. Unfortunately I can't or don't know how to make a PowerPoint file available here but can send it to anybody who wants the basic file. A little knowledge of PowerPoint and you can easily change the name of the ship and the color. The rest is simply highlighting the text and putting in your own information.

Looks great. Can't help with the transfer, though

Randy, I'd like one please!! And if you send it to me at irl_joanie@yahoo.com NOTE that there is an _ between irl and joanie in my @yahoo.com email address. I can change it in my Graphics Program and possibly modify it for the other ships colored tags as well!! IF I can modify it correctly, I could add them to the HAL Pages as a hidden page so only CC members would know where to get it...

 

I'd also give you the credit for creating them!!

Wow, this looks fabulous! You did a great job. Can you send me the file? Thanks!

I've been playing with a copy of my Westerdam tag that I downloaded using Acrobat. You inspired me to add the Mariner label to mine and it looks pretty good if I say so myself :D

[Randyk47]

It was kind of a fun rainy day thing to do. I'm not particularly fond of the Prinsendam color I used but that's the one, or very close to the one, on our on-line luggage tags for next year. I've sent out the PowerPoint file to those who have asked so far. You can email me at randyk_47 at yahoo dot com if you'd prefer not to put your email address here. Just put Cruise Critic in the subject line so that my security program doesn't put your email in the spam file. :)

It looks great! Please send me the file... Candy@CandyBrock.com

 

By the way, do you think if I put one of the PH numbers on it instead of mine, that they'd move us there?

Candy - Nice try with putting PH in the stateroom number area but I have this strange feeling the best you'd get is your bags stacked outside the PH. :D Sent you the file.

[Candy]

Rats!

I'd love a copy of the file too if it's not too much trouble.

Thanks, Randy. It was very easy to adapt except to get the color just right for Oosterdam, but I'm close enough for government work! :D Thanks for making a bunch of HAL Mariners very happy!

Wow, Randy, that's so nice of you to do this!! They look great. Would you please send me the file? My e-mail is kalliekae@aol.com

 

Thank you!!

The colors are a bit of a problem...like I can't quite get the Prinsendam color quite as gold as HAL's but it works. I figure they're not going to send me home for the color being just a bit off. Printers differ slightly so I'd imagine even off the HAL site you're going to get some variance. :)

[RMLincoln]

Your tag looks great:), BUT I only have a black and white printer....

Must the tags be in color? Can we get colored tags at the dock, albeit the plain janes that won't say Mariner?;)

[Randyk47]

This was just a fun thing to work on and do. Absolutely no reason why the black and white tags won't work. Once you're on the ship with your bags won't make any difference if they were printed, painted, or written with a crayon. :)

Randy, the tags look great. Could you please forward me the file sreed41@rochestergeneral.com

 

Thanks.

Randy, sorry the correct email is sreed41@rochester.rr.com

 

Mixed up my work & home addresses -- definitely don't want to mix business with pleasure.

A note to those of you who have requested the tag file. When you go to print make sure you check the "scale to fit paper" on the printer box. I didn't attempt to scale the PowerPoint slide to the exact dimension of the tag so it will be larger if you don't tell the print program to scale the page. At least that's how it works on my system but your settings may be different or may handle it automatically. When I check the "scale to fit paper" box on my printer setup the tags print out at exactly the right size. Of course, you could also go into PowerPoint and reduce the size until you get it exact. Your choice. Another hint is that once you have the tag colors and information entered for your cruise you can copy and paste a copy of the tag onto the same page so that you get two tags per sheet of paper or card stock. Probably not a big issue if you're just printing on regular paper but certainly saves on the card stock. :)

You can log into Holland America's website and go to your booking information. Near the bottom of the page where you've done your on-line check-in you'll see a box you can check and download your luggage tags. Mine are already available and we don't cruise for a year! :)

Randy,

Did you convert this from the original PDF file or make it from scratch?
