coolio111 Posted January 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2020 In the package from RC I got one baggage tag, do I print as many of these tags as needed for embarkation day? What about the debarkation day, do they provide separate tags for that? Should I pack tape to put these on our bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, print as many as you like and they will give you different tags for departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted January 1, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Debarkation tags have their own adhesive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a tag holder, you can purchase on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Cruise-Luggage-Holder-Seal-Steel/dp/B01E4SQNLS/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1U2Y3RBR9898G&dchild=1&keywords=baggage+tags+for+cruises&qid=1577889157&sprefix=Bagage+tag%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-6 Edited January 1, 2020 by FLACRUISER99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveru621 Posted January 1, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Either style is great! Once you get by the initial small expense, no tape or staples required. https://www.amazon.com/Caribbean-Celebrity-Easy-Read-Register/dp/B011S5GO6Y/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=baggage+tags+for+cruises&qid=1577903673&sr=8-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LalaCoop Posted January 3, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Side question - do I have to print the tags, or can the RCCL employees print them at check in? Is it a major hassle/delay if I wait to have them do it at the departure terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to print, stuff them in our luggage tag holders (# post 4) and attach them to our luggage before leaving the pre cruise hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The porters outside the terminal cannot print tags, but they will take blank tags and write your stateroom number on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkruzer Posted January 3, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I like printing my own and put 2 on each checked bag (different sides) in case one falls off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is either that, or only take one bag!! 😁 Sorry, couldn't resist -- just kidding. It is actually one of those practical questions. Mrs Ldubs currently prints the needed extras at work. We are going to need to buy a printer for at home after she retires later this month. Also a related tip -- Mrs Ldubs folds the tags then covers them with clear packing tape. Punches holes for zip ties and voila, they are practically indestructible. I guess with her retirement we will need to buy some packing tape too. Haha.

If I am flying to a port, I simply print them ahead of time, put them in my "cruise pack" envelope with the plastic sleeves and several plastic zip ties. Once off the baggage claim belt, takes me all of a minute or two to attach them. And as others...two per bag. One on the top, one of the bottom.

They will hand-write your room number on a blank tag and out it on your case. You are at the mercy of the dock workers penmanship on whether they write the correct room number down and if the number can be clearly read by the ship’s crew once it is loaded on the ship. One poorly written number and your bag will be lost. We always print our tags and put one on the top and side handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
