spider0378 Posted January 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Anyone know where I might find personalized (front and back) luggage tags with the cruise line logo on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 16, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Cruise line logos are Registered/copyright and presumably products using the logo can only be made for and sold through the cruise line. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 16, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Welcome to Cruise Critic. Have you tried asking the cruise line that will you be sailing on if they have any special luggage tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted January 16, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ask your TA. Many times TA's receive complimentary tags at seminars or from their DSM's. My TA has a basket filled with various cruise line baggage tags, his company's baggage tags and port logo items in his office. Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyG12 Posted January 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Are you talking about luggage tags that they send out when you cruise or luggage tags with your name and address? If you're looking for the latter, you can get them in the gift shop while onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettsmom2004 Posted January 16, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The cruiseline might have an online store with their logos on them..... I make my own luggage tags, use a business card and laminating luggage tag holders...they turn out quite well. gg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If luggage is lost it can be returned to the office. Meanwhile, no one has our home address, knowing we're on vacation!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider0378 Posted January 17, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I appreciate the suggestions, but what I was looking for was a personalized luggage tag to keep as a rememberance of the cruise. Maybe, have the ship name, date and itinerary on one side and the return information on the other. The cruise logos adding to the uniqueness of the tag. The suggestions would all reward me with a generic luggage tag. While I'm sure the cruise lines all have restrictions on the use of their trademarked logos, I would suppose that they sometimes allow third party usage of that trademark for products that promote their name. Otherwise we would never be able to buy, for example, t-shirts with the trademark "Coke" on them unless we bought them directly from the Coca Cola company. But, I ramble. Thanks for the suggestions to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestions to date. You could print off extra copies of the paper tags (from the cruise line)that you would be attaching to your luggage, then purchase luggage tags that have the cruise line's logo on them in the cruise ship's gift shop, and make up your own souvenir tags.

kitty9 Posted January 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Of course you don't need to purchase copyright items only from the company directly. The times you see a company's logo on anything, you can bet they paid a price to use that logo or name. Coca Cola would not allow anyone to put their name or logo on something unless they paid for that right. I'm guessing you've not heard of the numerous copyright infringement lawsuits that are out there. Unless you get written permission from the company to use their logo/name, you'd be in violation of copyright laws. Heck, the NFL is cracking down on stores that are selling items with teams names on them, that the NFL didn't authorize. But, you can sell all that stuff as long as you pay the copyright fee to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider0378 Posted January 17, 2012 Author #11 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone. Didn't want to sell anything. Wanted to buy something unique. Didn't care how the seller got the OK to sell it or how much they paid for the OK. But, I feel better now that I'm completely educated in copyright/trademark law. Wow, the things my law professors forgot to tell me!! Thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted January 17, 2012 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We print our own cruise cards and laminate those. I make a new card for each cruise indicating the itinerary, cabin number and deck, date of sailing, ship name etc. and special occasion that might be celebrated. Also, include our home address, phone and email. Decided to start doing this to help my husband remember our cruises as he said, "they all start to run together." We pass them out to others on our roll call, to the ship's crew at the Meet and Greets and to our new fcruise riends. Better than writing your information on the back of a napkin or scrap of paper.
