Sbilko Posted September 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2008 When we received our documents for our upcoming Panama Canal Cruise, DW noticed there were six, (6), luggage tags. Yesterday, she announced that five, (5), were for her,:eek: leaving only one, (1), for me!:eek: She has suggested that I dress in layers, so I do not take up any space in her luggage! At this rate, we will pay more in “excess luggage fees” then we paid for our airfare…:eek: At least she is having a good time;:p anticipation is a large part of a cruise.:D I now have two, (2), luggage tags assigned for my use.:rolleyes: Lucky that "Steamer Trunks" have gone out of fashion.

cp556 Posted September 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi George.. There will be extra luggage tags available at the pier from the porters. You can have as many as you'd like, as long as you don't tell your DW. Since you're in a hotel in San Diego pre-cruise, I'd suggest not putting the cruise tags on the bags until you head for the pier. Some wise people suggest putting name/address tags on the bags that have the info for the HOTEL ... that way if the bags fly elsewhere, they end up at your hotel. That is, if you're flying to Vancouver. If you're driving, just disregard everything in this paragraph ... lol. See ya in three weeks!

Gentlemen I feel bad for you....except it is my dh who will need more luggage then I, so alas I find myself in the same shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 6, 2008 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I think she's a terrific lady to be parting with ANY of the tags. Lucky you......you have a great DW. :D As posted above, you can get all the tags you want when you arrive at the dock. Ask the stevedores to them.

Sbilko Posted September 7, 2008 Author #12 Share Posted September 7, 2008 DW just informed me that I can put my shoes, which I am not wearing, in her “Shoe Suitcase”,:confused: got to love her. I think this has something to do with “Formal Attire” and “Running Shoes” which I will be wearing when embarking.:rolleyes: It is impossible to “layer” shoes!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted September 8, 2008 #14 Share Posted September 8, 2008 When she's not looking, sneak out to those bags and quickly start putting your extra clothes in those four bad boys. She'll never know............maybe - Have a great cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafun Posted September 8, 2008 #18 Share Posted September 8, 2008 But it also gives away one of my secrets.... Now you know why I cruise by myself -- so I can have all those luggage tags to myself! :cool: And speaking of "layering," I just heard from a friend who took the same spectacular trip to Egypt I took earlier this year (but she went a few months later). She ended up buying a LOT of souvenirs and gifts, and in order to make her weight limit coming home, was forced to wear 3 layers of clothes to the airport when she flew home. Mind you, this is in 110 degree heat leaving Cairo!! :eek: Can you imagine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
