 The Importance Of  Luggage Tags






Cruise luggage tags are an important step in cruising. Normal luggage tags alone won't do. Cruise luggage tags are specific to the cruise line. they will have a certain number, letter or color that is used by the cruise ship staff to sort and deliver the luggage to the correct passengers staterooms. Cruise lines deal with thousands of passengers each with one or more piece. If it were not for theses tags, you would never receive your luggage and it would be hard to determine what was what.
However, It is still just as important to have a traditional luggage tag on your suitcases with your contact information. This is especially important if you are flying into port. Having your contact info helps to know ho to contact in the event your luggage is lost or left behind. But the cruise ship luggage tag provided by the cruise line is also important and needs to be attached.

If you are concerned about people seeing your information when it is not needed you can protect your privacy by purchasing a travel luggage tag with a privacy panel. This hides your personal information with a flap that must be opened in order to view it.

How Do You Get Your Cruise Luggage Tags


In order to obtain your cruise line luggage tags most Cruise Lines require you to print them out of their Cruise Planner online at home on the cruise line's website. They are provided before departure.

Make sure you print out your luggage tags early to avoid any issues that may arise such as your printer running out of ink or not working.


If you are new to cruising then you may not be familiar with how exactly to attach the tags to your suitcase and it stay there.  Make sure you print out a cruise tag for each bag you intend to bring including any bags you intend to carry on. Print a few extras just incase more is needed or any get torn or lost. Here are two options.


1.  Tape Them 
You can attach the cruise luggage tags the old fashion way by attaching them with clear packing tape. To do this you will need to fold the tags over in order to make them thicker and strengthen them. Make sure to loop the tags over the handle of your suitcase and then tape the tag all the way around. Think of it like laminating.



2. Purchase cruise luggage tag holders

Cruise luggage tag holders can be purchased and are made specific to each cruise line as each have different sized luggage tags. Amazon is one of the biggest sellers for these and they are fairly inexpensive. I prefer this option for securing tags to luggage as it generally hold up much easier and is less likely to tear off.

  NASSAU, BAHAMAS PORT GUIDE Our Experience & Photos from when we were in Nassau. It also gives a guide for thing to do in Nassau & a little bit about Nassau. Last Updated: July 20th, 2022 Our Rating: ***** (5 Stars) A Little About Nassau A lot of people do not like the port because it is often under construction, the shops can be overly crowded sometimes, and there are people constantly pestering you to buy things, buy tours, and to buy transportation. I mean they will try to sell you everything. Finding transportation in this port is not hard at all and the taxi prizes were not bad. Nassau is one of the most visited ports in the Bahamas and the most popular cruising destination in the Caribbean itineraries. It is located in the islands of New Providence off the coast of Florida. It has a mild weather in the winter which makes it ideal for water sports and activities. What Did We Do There? We last visited Nassau in August 2021. We personally really enjoyed this port. Whil...

The building’s usually pretty easy to find, but we did stop to ask and make sure it was the right one before we went in. This one is also a two for one – if you head over to Hell, Grand Cayman, they’ll give you a novelty stamp saying you’ve been to Hell. Aruba and Curacao . Here you can hit the jackpot of Passport Stamps, You can get both of these on one sailing. In both Aruba and Curacao, we just asked where the Customs house (or office) was and then walked over.
