Check it > out: http://cruiseluggagetags.com I feel this is good backup information in a pinch. However, I have found that printing out the luggage tags from the cruise line on coated stock, which is a bit thicker than regular paper, seems to help quite a bit. Likewise, the fact that most luggage tags printed from one's computer, ends up being folded three ways, makes it extra durable. I just tape or stable the ends to one another, and 'presto' you have a pretty good luggage tag. Smooth sailing to all...

I don't mind the e-docs, printed docs are not needed, but the cruise lines should continue to mail out luggage tags in advance like I understand Royal Caribbean is planning to do. -- Charles

The booklet has a two page ship directory on the last pages that states our cabin number with the same sort ship map that the cruise lines give you when you board to locate where your cabins and everything else is on the ship. Nice touch...you get to familiarize yourself with where everything is on the ship before you board. We have already printed out our boarding passes...Our cruise is Dec.27th-Jan.3, sailing out of New Orleans..We chose the Norwegian Spirit because she is our favorite NCL ship and we wanted to see how the service is for ourselves since we have heard so many complaints here about NCL. Am looking forward to seeing New Orleans again, too, since we have not been there since Katrina.. The city and ship should be all decked out for Christmas! --Jean

Are the tags that are d/l and printed via the computer however many up on 8 1/2 x 11? I have some adhesive label stock that size, which would work VERY nicely for the baggage tags. -- To find that place where the rats don't race and the phones don't ring at all.

There are fold lines to fold the sheet vertically into 3 sections, that then makes for a relatively thick tag. As for printing on adhesive labels, your really only need the adhesive part at the ends, so tape or stapling works just as well, and is a lot cheaper. Smooth sailing to all...
