🔐 Step 1: Log Into Your Cruise Account
Head over to the cruise line’s website and log into your account.
👉 Since Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises are sister brands, the process is exactly the same for both.
Once logged in:
- Go to “My Reservation”
📄 Step 2: Find Your Luggage Tags
Inside your reservation, you’ll see all your cruise details.
👉 Your luggage tags typically become available:
- About 30 days before sailing
Look for:
- “View & Print Documents”
- Then select “Print Luggage Tags”
🖨 Step 3: Download & Print
Your luggage tags will open as a PDF file.
From here:
- Download the file
- Click print
💡 Pro Tip:
Use a color printer if possible — it helps port staff quickly identify your luggage and get it to your cabin faster.
✂️ Step 4: Cut & Fold Your Tags
Once printed:
- Cut along the lines
- Fold as indicated
👉 Take your time here — clean folding helps prevent issues at the port.
🧷 Step 5: Attach to Your Luggage
You’ve got a couple of options:
Option 1:
- Staple or tape the tag securely around your bag
Option 2 (Recommended):
👉 These:
- Protect your tags from tearing or water
- Stay secure during handling
- Can be reused for future cruises
✈️ Important Tip If You’re Flying
If you’re flying to your cruise port:
👉 Wait until you land to attach your luggage tags
Why?
- Airlines can damage or remove them
- You don’t want to risk losing your tag before you even get to the port
🚢 Final Thoughts
Printing your luggage tags ahead of time is a small step — but it makes a big difference on embarkation day.
You’ll:
- Save time
