What are Royal Caribbean luggage tags?

The Royal guest document (eDocs - electronic document) we issue includes a bag tag specific to the guest ship, sailing date, stateroom and deck number. The bag tag also provides information on how it should be used. In addition, generic bag tags are available at the pier on the day of boarding.



Royal Caribbean luggage tags are essential identifiers issued to guests to ensure their checked bags are delivered to the correct stateroom. These tags are usually provided as a printable PDF within your eDocs (electronic documents) approximately 30 to 45 days before sailing. They contain vital information, including the ship's name, the sail date, the guest's name, and, most importantly, the stateroom number and deck. To use them, you should print them at home, fold them as instructed, and secure them to your bag handles (clear plastic tag holders are a popular accessory for this). If you forget your tags, the porters at the cruise terminal have "generic" tags available, but using the pre-printed versions significantly speeds up the embarkation process and reduces the risk of misplaced luggage.
