chucknmuck Posted February 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi everyone , I can't find a thread on how to get our luggage tags before we sail . I've already done express check in and saw something about tags but with no direction on how to get them . Any help would be appreciated . We sail Apr . 5 2014 out of Miami .

ArkansasCruiser73 Posted February 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) On the web page there should be a link to print/or generate your tags where you do your online edocuments / online check in. It isn't always easy to see it on screen. As a side note, you can call and have Celebrity generate the mailing of your luggage tags, but that can be a 15-45 minute hold. Luggage Tags To print or request luggage tags, you must: • Complete your online check-in • Have your cruise eDocs issued • Allow 49 days or less before you sail Ensure all bags have luggage tags attached before arriving at the pier.

Hap Posted February 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I agree with the thread above. We are also sailing April 5 and have printed out our luggage tags. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrislc Posted February 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I agree with the thread above. We are also sailing April 5 and have printed out our luggage tags. Good luck. The OP doesn't want to print out the luggage tags. Celebrity gives you the option of ordering preprinted luggage tags that they mail to you like in the "old" days.

ArkansasCruiser73 Posted February 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2014 There should be a link at the same place to generate (order mailed) tags. Should be a small link on the page after completing the docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimletgal Posted February 27, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2014 When you go to on line check-in (within "manage my reservation"), skip down to the bottom of the page, and on the left there will be a blue square that says "Request Tags". Just click on that, enter your address, etc. and order. It's quite simple and you should receive them in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Frances Posted February 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The "request tags' button does not appear until you have been notified that your edocs are ready I was waiting for my edocs so I could order and I knew because I was inside the 40 days pre cruise that they should have shown up. When I called X they said to contact my TA and have the edocs resent (which I did) and I received them in half an hour along with the option to order the tags.

jkrislc Posted February 27, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I wasn't charged nor did I receive an email that my docs were ready. Interestingly enough, I get lots of other emails from Celebrity encouraging me to spend money on this cruise, though (e.g., shore excursions, drink packages, etc.).

Happy2cruise Posted February 28, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Me again. I knew I saw something on a charge and found this on the Celebrity FAQ section. Must be luggage tags are free unless you get printed documents instead of online. How do I get luggage tags for my cruise? If you receive printed cruise documents for $35 per document, your customized set of luggage tags will be included in your printed document book.

chief190 Posted February 28, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You won,t have access to the link to order tags until your edocs are ready. I,m sailing march 30 and had to call captains club for them to expedite and it only took 4 minutes. 2 hours later my edoc email was there.

hutt27 Posted February 28, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 28, 2014 My paperwork says they will scan and print tags at the dock. Sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excruiser Posted February 28, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 28, 2014 After completing and printing the edocs, I could not request the luggage tags. Went in a couple of days later and it gave me the option of requesting the tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckle Posted February 28, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 28, 2014 My paperwork says they will scan and print tags at the dock. Sound right? Not to our knowledge.Generic luggage tags are already there at the docks and readily available for everyone. We just pick up some tags, hand print our stateroom number on them and attach them to our bags, unless a porter grabs them first and does it for us. There has never been any scanning or printing involved at any of the docks where we have tagged and checked bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you receive printed cruise documents for $35 per document, your customized set of luggage tags will be included in your printed document book. This may be true if you have them send a complete document set. However, the luggage tags are free. I received mine about a week ago without a charge. I only received luggage tags; everything else still has to be completed online and printed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helovestrains Posted February 28, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is there any reason to choose having the luggage tags mailed to you as opposed to printing off your own other than printing them yourself you have them right away. thanks.

TickledBlue Posted February 28, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is there any reason to choose having the luggage tags mailed to you as opposed to printing off your own other than printing them yourself you have them right away. thanks. Having the luggage tags on sticky back paper is a lot more convenient than bringing a stapler or tape to attach tags printed on plain paper. I miss those days where they were automatically sent to you. Glad to hear that X gives an option of ordering them for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought about how you will attach self-printed tags? Believe me, you want the ones they mail to you. Had to deal with the printed ones on Princess, what a PITA!!!

Had to deal with the printed ones on Princess, what a PITA!!! I agree. I've gone the tape route, the lamination route, etc., but the weakness was always with the attachment. I wanted satisfied with zip ties or staples. I finally ended up buying reusable luggage tag holders online. Of course, X and RCI have a different format that doesn't work with my holder, so I'm grateful I was able to preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our case we did a 5 day land trip in Alaska before boarding, I never thought nor would I pack a stapler as part of my cruise gear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar_20 Posted February 28, 2014 #25 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I just did our on-line check in for our BTB cruise. It gave me no option to print out our luggage tags, they said they would be mailed. This was only offered to US and Canadian passengers. I am glad they did because our colored printer is not working. My question is how long does it take before we receive the tags in the mail? We are about 35 days out before we leave for Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
