Rare Laszlo Posted June 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2021 New to Oceania. How do they handle luggage tags. Do you print them out or do they send them to you? I have clear luggage tag holders for our NCL tags and they work really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mauibabes Posted June 22, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2021 And put them on your luggage at the port so they are not torn of in transit or if our are in an Oceania Hotel, you will be asked to put them on before your transfer to the ship. For first timers, The Blue Book referred to are the Documents for your cruise. A classy, great package to keep as a wonderful remembrance of your cruise vacation.

Rare LHT28 Posted June 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Or you can put them on your bags at a NON Oceania hotel if you stay the night before in the port city 😉 The document books that first came out were worth keeping but now just generic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccaforte Posted June 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2021 When my Blue Book went astray because of a move, Oceania wouldn’t replace the whole book without a $25 charge but they did send luggage tags. They were not personalized like the originals but they were just fine. Since we’re sailing in a guarantee this time and don’t know what our cabin number will be, we may not have tags until we arrive at the terminal. I’m sure the porters can handle any luggage tag issues if for some reason you don’t get yours. We always have our bags identified with our own tags as a precaution.

Rare mauibabes Posted June 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just making the point, the Baggage tags are not indestructible. The Blue Book is just a nice keepsake, JMO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The porters usually have blank luggage tags & they write on your cabin# & name Just ask We always have our own name tags on luggage as well as note inside with our contact & itinerary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On several subsequent cruises we have been unsold after our tags arrived and simply inked out the old cabin number and put in the new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done that also If time my TA sends us blank tags if we get an upgrade I am happy just to be onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted June 23, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2021 No matter where we sail we always put our tags on at the pier. Even more importantly remove your tags before you arrive at your departure airport. Many moons ago my suitcase became a part of a FLL theft ring. The police told me it was because I had left my cruise tags on the luggage. This was back in the day when cruising was not so "universal" if you know what I mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted June 23, 2021 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Correction: Just saw that my “upsold” mysteriously appears as “unsold” in post #9 above. My keyboarding truly has deteriorated since my detached retina two years ago, suffered BTW without any warning on Marina off the western coast of Italy.

Gerry Have done enough cruises to know. Always put them on at home, if we are driving to a pier. Put them on as soon as we check out from the hotel if we have flown in the day before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW and I will be first-time Oceania cruisers in December on the Riviera (at least I HOPE we will be first-time cruisers 😉), and were wondering what the Blue Book is.

Not Gerry but the book gives you a list of excursions shows the location of your state room other ads for beverage & internet packages deck plans Lists the Itinerary plus the 1st couple of pages shows your personal info which in some embarkation ports you need to show Miami for instance If you use the search feature above for O forum you can find some photos of the book & luggage tags I just tossed mine out (trying to declutter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually get extra tags since we only have one checked bag each so we put tags on each handle in case one tears off. Also put one on the backpack we carry on the ship in case dummy me leaves it behind. This is the DH posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally travel / cruise with 2 checked bags, 2 carry on's and we each normally we each have a small backpack. And yes we are those people who take our carry on's and backpacks on the cruise ship, don't check them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
