Alohaaloha Posted March 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Whilst I was doing on line check in, I came to an option to order luggage tags for our suite on Explorer in May. But because I booked through a US based TA, the country options for delivery are only USA and Canada, UK is not in the drop down box. I spoke to RCI who said it was because the booking was made in the US. They suggested I contact my TA, however, they said it's all electronic docs now and RCI do not issue luggage tags any more to anyone. I'm not greatly put out by not having luggage tags I can always print ours from the e docs, but is my TA correct? Or has anyone any ideas how to get round the delivery to UK issue? Thanks in advance.

Sent from my iPad using Forums Luggage Tags are made available to all those in Suites and Pinnacle Club C&A Members. Here is the US, when our e-docs are issued, we are able to order our luggage tags at that time. Here is a link that will show you how we are made aware when luggage tags are available to order http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=45394703&postcount=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Think this is another case of an RCL rep not knowing what the policies are but giving an answer anyway. The last I heard luggage tags are still, upon request, sent to suite guests and pinnacle club members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP is in England, but booked using a US travel agent, so the website is not giving them a UK mailing address option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had the 'order luggage tag' button and I filled out the address form until I got to country of residence and UK wasn't in the list. RCI said its because I booked via a US travel agency. I'm kind of stuck really! Thanks for your help anyway. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's exactly it! Do you think I should call RCI and ask them to issue the luggage tags to my UK address or would you just leave it and print the paper tags.

I really think the tags are more secure that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkay68 Posted May 13, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 13, 2015 How far in advance can we request the luggage tags if we are staying in a suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 13, 2015 How far in advance can we request the luggage tags if we are staying in a suite? You have to wait until cruise docs are issued, which is usually 49 days before the cruise. That can be delayed for various reasons, such as having Choice Air on your booking.

Aboat1 Posted May 13, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Do not know if you can do this or not but....Why not have your travel agent get them mailed to him/her then forward to you? Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought! It's possible, but it will still cost $35 unless you are in a full suite or Pinnacle level C&A.

spookwife Posted May 13, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 13, 2015 How far in advance can we request the luggage tags if we are staying in a suite? as soon as the docs are ready you can order them. usually arrive in about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise is 101 days out and when I go to online check-in it says it will be available 90 days prior to sail date. ( August 22). Will the luggage tag (for suites) option be available then, in 12 more days, or will we have to wait another 45 days ? No big deal, just curious.

Thanks Gerry You will have to wait until 49 days before your cruise, unless you have Choice Air, in which case you will likely have to wait longer.

70SS350 Posted May 13, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Why not ask your TA to have RCI ship to them, then have your TA ship to you. It won't hurt to ask. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 59 days out. Another 10 days and should be able to order them. Can you order as many as you like ? How long does it take to get them ?

Needing a total of six so I should be good to go. Might even put them on a carry on and laptop in case of accidentally leaving them lying somewhere.
