8 Popular Cruise Luggage Tag Holders

Heading on a cruise? Don’t forget cruise luggage tags!

Cruise luggage tags are a must and are provided by the cruise line. They come with your name, cabin number, and where you’ll be on the ship (AFT, FWD, or MID). They’re color-coded and often have a space for your address.

In the old days, cruise tags were mailed to you. With technology, you can print them at home or buy tag holders for that extra touch. They might mail them out weeks ahead if you’re in a suite or on a luxury cruise.

Mainstream cruise lines often have you print tags at home, included in your e-docs at check-in. Some, like Disney Cruise Lines, send them about two weeks before your sail date.

In this article, we’ll review frequently asked questions, how to print and attach them, and the most popular cruise luggage tag holders on the market so you can choose what works best for you!

8 Luggage Tag Holders for Cruises

If you must print your cruise luggage tags before your cruise, you may want to invest in luggage tag holders. The idea of stapling a piece of paper to your suitcase handle may make you uneasy as it is not the most solid way to attach your cruise luggage tags.

We recommend the following luggage tag for the following cruise lines:

• Norwegian Cruise Line
• Carnival Cruise Line
• Royal Caribbean Cruise
• Princess Cruises
• Holland America Line
• MSC Cruises
• Celebrity Cruises
• One Size Fits Most

All the tag holders below come with a waterproof sleeve to slip your at-home printed cruise luggage tags. The stainless steel metal rings attach easily to your luggage handle.

No Luggage Tag Holders? Here are a few creative tips for attaching your printed luggage tags without luggage tag holders:

1. You can print them on cardstock paper instead of regular paper. This way, the tags are slightly sturdier when you fold them on the sides and staple them to your suitcase handle.

2. laminate the tags at home or your nearby office supply store. Punch a hole at the top, then use a plastic zip tie to secure it to your luggage tag.

3. Print them out, whether on cardstock or regular paper (I prefer cardstock), and cut them to size into a long strip. Then, use clear packaging tape on the front and back to make your own laminated tag at home. Once this is done, loop it around your luggage handle and staple it on the sides. This is how we did it many times before purchasing luggage tags.
