Is it worth coloring luggage tags I printed?

[K&Rs Mom]

We don't have a color printer anymore, so the tags are gray. I know the color coding tells them how to sort. Is it worth having the kids marker them to match what I see on the printing screen?

I wouldn't bother. Just another thing to worry about. All of the porters at the pier have tags to slap on your bags.

They will work fine.

If you got that much time on your hands.

 

Do it....

I don't think it is necessary. I only have a black and white printer so my tags are never color coded. I have never had a problem.

 

Happy sailing!

Have the kids write "deliver me first" on the tags

Color coding means nothing. You can get tags from the porters...anything will work.

Used a B&W printer to print my luggage tags on my last 2 cruises. No issues whatsoever.

Just got off Explorer - tags were black and white - no problem - got luggage very quickly

I print mine in color just because I print them at work and have a color printer there. The tags that the porters put on the bags at the port are not in color, so I don't think it really makes any difference! :cool:

I always color mine, takes 5 minutes to do 4 tags. Baggage people handle so much luggage, that anything I can do to help get bags faster I will do. You will get your luggage even not colored, but maybe not as fast. The first thing baggage people do is glance at color behind deck number, if not there then they read, it makes sense to me to color, and cruise line feels the same or they wouldn't have them colored when you look at them online.
