We received luggage tags for our cruise on March 10th - I hadn't heard they weren't sending them out anymore - I would take clear packing tape and tape over them if you don't have a way to laminate them easily.

 

Happy Cruising!

I make my own. I print them off and use double sided tape to fasten the ends together.

 

You can also go to walmart and buy laminating kits. They have some that you can do by hand and dont need a machine for.

When you print them, there are folding directions. Do that & you get a long, thin tag which is slightly smaller than clear packing tape so we smush the printed tag between two pieces. Viola -- instant cheap laminate.

The was the first cruise where I didn't use any kind of lamination. Mistake! One suitcase no longer had the tag attached when it got to our room.

 

I usually cut mine, "laminate" them with packing tape and tuck them in our travel folder. I then borrow the hotel's stapler the morning of embarkation to attach them.

I never bother playing DIY kindergartner and flying in I'd have to play with the tags at the hotel or the airport. The porters have markers and the old fashioned tags available on the curbside at the port, no problem.

Guess that explains why we havent received our for our March 17th sailing. Guess I will print them off now.

In the past we've printed out luggage tags on poster board. It is more durable.

 

On our upcoming cruise though we are going to use the luggage tags I bought online from the Cruise Critic store. You insert your paper tags inside them and then put them on suitcase.

We've always used packing tape. First I "laminate" each tag, then I put each one on and wrap the ends with packing tape. But I was the CC tag holders and I'll be ordering some of those soon!

[dustyroad]

i also use the clear tape methed. i punch a whole a couple inches from the top of the tag and have small zip-tie's handy. right before i get too the dock i insert the tie through the hole and secure it too the handle of my bag. it is sturdy and going no-where. ;)

Or if you want to purchase some re-usable ones, these are made for cruising~

I just follow their directions as by the time you fold them twice, the triple thick paper holds the staple just fine.

I order mine from amazon...inexpensive...will use them for the first time this Sunday..

Last cruise we took our printed luggage tags to Kinko's to have them laminated. Worked great for us for less than $5!

[Cruzface]

Staples sells laminating sheets very cheap. Put the luggage tags in between 2 sheets an Then cut off the excess. Then fold pursuant to directions and staple them around the handle of the suitcase. Works for us.

thanks everybody, appreciate the tips, for what we pay for cruises sending luggage tags shouldn't be a big deal, and they worked so well, oh well gonna look at the cc store, if not lamanating is next, happy sailing everyone

We are sailing march 17. I printed our tags Sunday and I was not thrilled about the flimsy paper but it wasn't the end of the world because I have a laminator. Well, Monday we got luggage tags in the mail. Maybe yours will show up too.

did you book through a TA or through ncl, i spoke to my ta today and he said they stopped mailing them out, just wondering how you booked

[xenagurl]

I just use clear packing tape to "laminate" them and staple the ends. I've yet to have one come off, and I started doing this before they stopped sending them in the mail, because I'd often book too late to ever receive that.

Does anyone know when NCL stopped sending out luggage tags? We got sent luggage tags when we were the Gem last April. Do they still send the priority luggage tags out for haven guests? We're on the Epic this April and I just expected they would be sending them in the mail. :confused:

We received them as an insert to the cruise information booklet several weeks before our December 23 cruise on Norwegian Star.

Only full suites receive luggage tags. This began with the luggage tags that would have been sent out November 1, 2012. Everyone else has to print them out now or get them at the pier.

Easy as pie. I take them to Staples of Office Max...someplace that has a print center. It will only cost you a buck or two to laminate them.

I was looking at those and although they do not say they will fit NCL tags it looks like they would. You just gave me the proof I needed. I went to order them and they are on back order through this month. Guess I will have to check back often and order a few sets. Thank you :D

I am looking to purchase these too can you tell me if it is the tall skinny ones or the shorter square ones that fit NCL tags?
