Luggage Tag Color Changed

[VentureMan_2000]

I printed my luggage tags a month or two ago and the color is Kelly green.  We are on the Miracle aft port balcony stateroom on deck 6.

My sister-in-law is booked in a balcony two doors down.  I was showing her today how to print her luggage tags and her tags are red, and not the green color that my tags are.  I thought maybe it's because it's her first cruise.  So for laughs and giggles, I decided to bring up my tags for printing and now the color of the tags is red.

Has anyone ever experienced this ?  Why would the color change ?

Perhaps a forward to midship to aft change?

I have no idea. They've been messing with the luggage tags and boarding documents lately. Changing the verbiage etc. I personally have never printed my luggage tags or other documents in color. I haven't owned a color printer at home in over a decade.

Ours are also red.  Is it possible Platinum and Diamond are all red for pre-sorting reasons?  Seems like that would add some steps to the luggage delivery process, though.

I just sailed the panorama. First time I printed, they were red. Second time green.   Color may be immaterial

Sounds like it is not a good idea to print out your luggage tags that far in advance.  And I am guessing not really necessary.

 

We don't do it until our check-in is complete.

Yes. Exactly the same thing. Ours changed from Green to Red.

My tags on the Pride last month were red, and I'm not a Platinum or Diamond member.  Cabin was midship starboard.

 Mine are red, I am platinum and I printed after completing check in.

Mine are always black and white.

We printed my wife's a month or so before and they were green. When she was able to check in and print the boarding passes they were switched to red also. She was port, aft on the Conquest two weeks ago.

Mine are murple😐. Oh, wait my inks giving out, again😖. Gonna have to go squid fishing just to save on those ink prices.😁

[VentureMan_2000]

Wonder if they actually intended them be red... or if a programmer screwed up and the proper colors are not being rendered.  If all the tags were to be red... then why not just have them in grey-scale.

A quick check and my luggage tags were at least 4 different colors over the past year. I even think port and starboard cabins might have had different colors. I can report the color of the luggage tag had no impact on my cruises. 👍👍👍

[Guest BasicSailor]

Actually, mine are Red for this month. At least there was a *Diamond* symbol. Either I'm cruising or dire straits to nowhere. 🙃

[Daddyfto]

Mine were orange (deck 6 mid ship)  Now they are red...looks like some sort of error?  I'm going to stick with the orange ones that I've already printed

Color makes no difference...

Are their any non platinum/diamond cruisers getting a red tag?

Same here.  Must be my special status!   

[trummy]

As long as mine print ok, I don't care what color they are.

[Knights on the Beach]

Mine are dark red and they now say Priority. When I saved them in February, they were a different shade of red (brighter) and said Platinum in dark red.

me... I'm gold and my tags were colored the same. Just checked now and they're red. I am however Priority because we're staying in a suite.

 

Anyone not Priority have red tags?

In society that should definitely be true...but Carnival has traditionally color-coded each deck separately.  

 

Tag color HAS made a difference in the past:  the unknown luggage that got dumped at our cabin door on one cruise had the same cabin number-ending, but was one deck directly below ours.   And sure enough, the other cruisers had printed theirs in grayscale.  

After seeing THAT mis-delivery, we've printed ours in color ever since.    

 

As for the current changing of the colors, that's a mystery.  Delivering 3,000+ pieces of luggage is a herculean task.  I can only assume they're switching their methodology...which is great, IF it works.   (See the Royal board and the MTD discussion there for an example of a change that hasn't.)
