lauritagoddess Posted August 26, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I got our welcome aboard kit with the luggage tags, but after that I upgraded our cabin. I know I can print new tags from the E-Docs, but how would attach those to the luggage? Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacewoman Posted August 26, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It should give you instructions right on it how to fold it. Then they say fold around the handle and staple it. Many folks here suggest laminating them. My mom does this as well. I've stapled with no problems but I always make it a point to put a sheet of paper on top of our stuff that gives our last name and cabin number. Just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case I don't think I'd be able to laminate, but I wonder if I took clear packing tape and covered both sides of the tags, if that would make it more sturdy. Good idea though about the putting a sheet of ppaer on top just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Haynes Posted August 26, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I use thicker bond paper.... Paper stores sell more than just 20 pound paper. Printers can print with thicker bond paper as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I usually do too and it works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsg Posted August 26, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2010 We changed our cabin after receiving our packet too and I asked about the luggage tags. She said I could either print new ones out or just strike through the old cabin number and write in the new one if I wanted to use the ones that came with the packet.

I had been considering doing that with the old tags and was wondering if it was okay or if it would make it too confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARFISH*4 Posted August 26, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2010 we just reinforce the paper tags with packing tape and the night before we get on the cruise (after we have flown) i just tape them on-i dont staple...never had a problem infact you cant tear them off-they have to be cut off--nice and sturdy---i just print on regular copy paper! ENJOY your cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordandmichele Posted August 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I had been considering doing that with the old tags and was wondering if it was okay or if it would make it too confusing. I did exactly that on our July 24 cruise on the Star, with no issues whatsoever. Just crossed out the old number and wrote in the new. No problem.

BikerAl Posted August 26, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I had been considering doing that with the old tags and was wondering if it was okay or if it would make it too confusing. Just remember to change the forward and aft portion also. We have done that with no problem. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Luckily both cabins were both forward. It would just be changing the cabin number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
