North&South Posted September 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi, nearly ready for our holiday but only thing I'm not sure on is the luggage strips I've printed. Question is do I affix before we fly or after I have collected cases from the carousel ?? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted September 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Hi, nearly ready for our holiday but only thing I'm not sure on is the luggage strips I've printed. Question is do I affix before we fly or after I have collected cases from the carousel ?? :confused:Hi North&South, I was asking myself the same question (for a cruise in November), it's been many years since I've flown, to then join the ship (usually board in Southampton). Last time it was easy, I had a few days in a hotel prior to the cruise. This time it will be straight from airport to ship. I've decided to attach the luggage labels after picking them off the carousel. I'll take a small roll of clear wide packing tape, with the labels, in my hand luggage. I don't want to have them ripped off and lost in either airports, and they do say to remove all other tags (apart from the ones they attach) from your cases before checking in for your flight. Hope this helps? Bon Voyage :) Edited September 16, 2016 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruisers 67 Posted September 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2016 We have just returned from a cruise ( Athens to Venice on QV). On the outward leg we attached the luggage labels prior to flying and they were still on when we arrived at Athens. We had taken the precaution however to carry spare labels and tape just in case.

fantasy51 Posted September 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I have always carried the labels with me and attached them after the flight. On my last cruise I had not packed any tape as I had decided to rely on the porters at the ship having staplers. That worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted September 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yes, quite often the agents who meet you for the transfer to the ship always have a stapler to hand. Personally ( when flying) I'd leave them off, unless you have those plastic luggage tag holders which are very handy ( which I've started to use ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnip eater Posted September 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2016 After. We arrived in Miami once and couldn't find our suitcases. We searched around the luggage hall and found our luggage piled high with cases going an a RCI ship. I think one of the baggage handlers had seen our Cruise ship labels (for another company) and thought 'cruise ship!'...thinking they were being helpful, they took them away. :p Now we always wait until we are about to set off to the ship, either from the airport or from a pre-cruise hotel.

cruiseluvva Posted September 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2016 We have just returned from a cruise ( Athens to Venice on QV).

Exactly what we did. But they survived both flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancun01 Posted September 17, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We always carry them and put them on after the flight. We carry a very small stapler and tape even though we have luggage tags holders just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
