billbo_nuclear_baggins Posted October 8, 2014 #26 Share Posted October 8, 2014 What does "AP" mean on my luggage tag? It's under the ship name. It is location on the ship Aft Port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsihopes Posted October 9, 2014 #27 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I just looked at my luggage tags for our cruise in Dec. and the say Elite on them. Maybe it is something they are changing, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4dC0w Posted October 9, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Just checked my boarding pass and luggage tags. My luggage tags from my May cruise show the Captain's Circle level. The luggage tags for my upcoming November cruise don't have that information. It just says Welcome Aboard in that part of the tag. I wonder why they changed the format. Probably just to justify some marketing person's salary... That's what I thought, my last cruise was 2 weeks ago, and didn't see anything on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyredhat Posted October 11, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi Pat & Mike. I too am relatively newly Platinum[/sCOLOR] Congrats Treven. :) We have to stop passing each other with these cruises. We plan Alaska 2017. :p Just printed my tags. Just Welcome Aboard. No Platinum.

Ron the Rev Posted October 12, 2014 #30 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just says WELCOME ABOARD nowadays but the key to customer captains circle level is the surrounding colour framing your information.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted October 12, 2014 #33 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think the poster means the luggage tags not the boarding pass. Luggage tag does not say "Welcome Aboard" and Captain's Circle status on it is printed in text, not represented by a color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted October 12, 2014 #34 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Luggage tag does not say "Welcome Aboard" and Captain's Circle status on it is printed in text, not represented by a color. Well, not now. They do say "Welcome aboard" in the space where the status used to be. I have recently printed out tags for both an Oct.13 and Oct. 24 cruise, and I was surprised to see this change. The information is bordered in a grey color, but I didn't take that to mean it indicated Platinum (though that's what I am.) Has anyone found a blue or red or gold border around the text on the luggage tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsmum Posted October 12, 2014 Author #35 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Mine is a light blue border, says Welcome Aboard and we are (first time) platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have tags on my luggage from my cruise in June and the border on the luggage tags is light blue. Seems to me, it has been that way for awhile.

ar1950 Posted October 13, 2014 #42 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) What is different is that the captain's circle status is no longer printed on the tags. My question exactly (well, actually I know that wasn't a question). The boarding pass says "Preferred" and that gets me in a little ahead of the mob. The luggage tag says "Welcome aboard" and that makes me feel welcome. What else do I need?? (How about a beer?...) :cool: Edited October 13, 2014 by ar1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly makes no difference in how fast luggage gets to your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly makes no difference in how fast luggage gets to your cabin. Exactly, and this was the point I was just about to mention. The porters take your luggage along with all the others, BEFORE check in and lining up for boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenorchid152 Posted October 14, 2014 #47 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Can someone please tell me what the qualification criteria are..I have only sailed with Princess once to Hawaii,and they have me down as platinum whilst my wife who has always been with me is down as `Blue`...Does the fact that we have sailed with P & O several times make any difference,working along the lines that its all owned by Carnival...Next trip Royal on the 9th-30th Dec..

Credit is given for past P&O because once Princess owned P&O or vice-versa. You can go to the My Princess part of the Princess web site and in the upper left box it will say "you have sailed xxx times." Click on that and you will see your cruising history as known by Princess. Do the same for your wife. If not all of either of your cruises are listed, contact Princess to have them correct the records. Your wife should not be blue since she has sailed with Princess before. After only one credit cruise, she would be gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenorchid152 Posted October 15, 2014 #49 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for that info, I ended up calling Princess and they said it was an error by my travel agent, the details would be uprated in a couple of days..Tried doing it your way but it didn`t pan out, mine came up o.k. but Shirley did not exist on the drop down..

Homosassa Posted October 15, 2014 #50 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Green Orchid, We were surprised the first time we sailed Princess to be listed as Platinum. We expected our Sitmar cruises to be credited (Princess bought out Sitmar in the late 80's) but had no idea where the other cruise credits came from. We called Princess and they didn't know either. Our cruise history had dates that credit was entered by P&O. We later figured out some were Regent Cruiseline credits as the private island known was Princess Cay was a pristine, untouched beach when the Regent Rainbow stopped there in 1990. The other cruises are unknown - maybe Premier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
