Baggage Tags

[Kekepania]

How long does it take to get the baggage tags after registering on-line?

If the tags do not show up before we leave is there a way to print some up at home or must we get them from the port?

Everyone's saying 4-10 days days on average. There are several threads listing when to expect them after ordering.

Here is a recent thread about luggage tags.

Mine ran 5-17 days (ordered for 4 cabins 3 came within a week the other just showed up yesterday)

so ya never know

 

If they don't show up just get a porter at the pier to fill out a blank one

I ordered mine the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and they arrived this morning, so mine took a week taking into consideration the holiday.

I ordered mine a week ago, but have yet to see them for our 1/14 cruise. Of course the holiday boggs down the mail also.

 

Booked my 12/10 cruise 14 days before embarkation, thus RCI won't send those out this late. Will be begging the porters for a couple tags.

 

Anyone have any problems with those? I am assuming porter tags versus RCI home sent tags are pretty much the same thing.....as long as I get my clothes before I start to smell funny :eek: in my embarkation wear, it won't make any difference which type of tag they are. ;)

No need to beg the porters for luggage tags. They'll gladly unload the bags from the vehicle, fill out the tags, place the tags on your bag, and load the bags onto the carts heading to the ship. Ofcourse this type of services has a price, which is $1-$2 dollars per bag:D. lol

 

Enjoy your cruise!!!!!

Gosh, and here I have been tipping them anyway with tags already in place and unloading the luggage from the back of my Jeep myself!! :eek: ;)

Thanks, and you enjoy your cruise too!! :D

WOW, they "let" you unload your Jeep?! Normally they are out there waiving in cars, trying to get their fill!!! lol

Must have hit them sleeping the last time. Or could be the DH is just too fast for them when he jumps out of the Jeep before it stops rolling, trying to dump the bags as soon as possible. He knows the quicker he can unload the bags, the faster we can get on board to find out what the drink of the day is! :D

 

He has the bags out and to the curb faster than the porters can blink, and I am left running them down while digging in my purse to tip them before they can chase the DH off the curb!! :eek: :)

 

On another note....I just got my 10 night Jewel cruise for the 1/14 cruise in the mail today!!! :D

[sjcruiser]

Funny!!!

 

After I load the car, and then unload the bags at the airport, I refuse to touch them again til we get back to our home airport!!! I keep alot of $1 bills handy just for porters, doormen, bellhops, and van drivers.

I ordered tags for two cabins on Oct 24th. One set, for the kids, arrived within 10 days. I thought the other ones went missing, but when I finally checked the envelope - both sets of tags were in there. It was surprising, because it was addressed to my son - and they had combined the two even though we couldn't link both cabins for booking shows and such online - since one was booked through a group, and the other through a travel agent. In the end - all good.

 

I have also done the tags at the pier. The porters had tags written up and on our bags before I could attach the pre-printed tags I was carrying. No worries!

I ordered ours on Monday of this week and got them today Sat. (5 days)!:D
