Cruise Ship Name Badges

Imprint Plus – Cruise Ship Name Badges, Reusable Cruise Ship Name Badges. Custom name badges by Imprint Plus™ can easily be personalized. They come in many shapes and sizes and are completely changeable by simply reprinting a new insert sheet. We’ve been in the name badge business for over 30 years and have developed many name badge products. In fact, we’ve patented many of the processes involved in the production and set the standard for the name badge industry! This “Do-It-Yourself” Name Badge System is the perfect tool for your front-line staff.

Reusable Cruise Ship Name Badges

Another feature of the Imprint Plus™ cruise ship name badge program that sets us apart is our reusable name badges are truly reusable. Sure, a lot of badge companies boast reusability, but are they truly reusable? Many employ adhesive tape to personalize the badges, so when you want to change the name, you have to un-stick and peel off the tape. Un-sticking tape from a badge (or anything really) can leave behind a sticky residue that is hard to clean off and ruins the professional look of the name badge. From our perspective, tape personalization is not true reusability-it’s more of a band-aid solution.

The reusable cruise ship name badge from Imprint Plus™ is truly reusable: The badge plate, personalized badge insert, lens cover and signature magnetic badge fastener fit together by design, not by tape. This means that they can be snapped together or snapped apart easily, and without damage. When a new team member comes on board and you need a new hospitality name tag, just toss out the old badge insert and slide in a new one. You won’t have to compromise at all on quality or style. The reused name badge will look exactly the same as the original one. We’re so proud of the innovative design and quality craftsmanship that went into our reusable name badges. We’re confident that you and your hospitality staff will love it, too.

Passengers wearing “crew- like” name tags?

By sandycruzr , July 17, 2023 in Norwegian Cruise Line

Recommended Posts

Cool Cruiser

I was on Spirit recently and there were several guests with NCL name tags. I thought this was really strange. One passenger was acting like he worked on the ship…he did not! I asked the CD and he said he had no idea where these passengers got the name tags but guests were complaining about one name tag wearing guest because they thought he was an employee acting badly!  Has anyone else ever seen this?

Yes. They are rare, but they are out there. NCL gives name tags resembling. crew name tags to select VIP guests as a way to acknowledge their loyalty. These people are considered to be "brand ambassadors". A close look at the name tag will show the difference between this tag and one actually given to a crew member who is working.

NCL passengers who reach ambassador with the latitudes program get an NCL gold name tag with their name on it.

NCL does not have brand ambassadors.

Doesn't sound like a good idea on NCL's part to do this...

Many years ago, NCL would "award" certain passengers an "Ambassador" name tag for thier loyality and thier support of crew members.  At one time there were about 10 or so, I think that there are only one or two still alive.  I was presented with my "Ambassdor" name tag on The Pearl April of 2011 by the Hotel Director Matthias Holz.  It was a very special honor then and still is.

This was long before "Ambassador" was added to the top of Lattitudes Reward Levels

This is no longer true. Many years ago NCL did present a handful of people (a few Ambassadors and VIPs) with these tags that were identical to employee name tags. They were intended to be a symbol of loyalty appreciation. There are people who continue to wear these tags on cruises and it is misleading and confusing to guests which is why the tags were discontinued.

Thanks

a few months ago i did a cruise on royal and i saw passengers with those pinnacle name tags, similar to ambassador name tag .. this problem is not unique to norwegian

Well, some here report of crew shortage due to being able to hire.  Maybe they are asking for volunteers.

Actually, they do. Ambassadors existed long before the Latitudes level of the same name.

Not identical. These name tags had the guest's name, then Norwegian Ambassador, then the name of the ship on which it was awarded. Crew name tags have their name, job title, and home country.

One of the reasons that the tags were discontinued was because guests wearing them were seen by Cruise Karens as another place to complain, when they were simply fellow guests who wanted to enjoy their vacation in peace.

Yes, Ambassadors do have the oval name tags with their names on them.  We were on the Star in August and two ambassadors were onboard, and attended a Diamond and ambassador event where I met them.  They both wore their name badges.

RocketMan275

There was a passenger on Royal who had a personal name tag made.  IIRC, it said something like

Captain Bob

(loyalty level)

He made it a point to proclaim his loyalty level when ordering from the bar.

He would by pass the line and move directly to a waiter where he would proclaim his name and loyalty level and order his drink.

That's not good.  I can't imagine many guests allowing that to continue past the first time.

Cruising Lynne

It sounds like there was a group of Ambassador level Latitude members on the same trip, or a group cruise that though it would be fun to have NCL name tags for their group. Not the best idea for a group cruise, especially if some were behaving badly..

Should also point out that while NCL does allow their Cruise Directors to wear "civilian clothes", other members of the crew are typically wearing some sort of uniform. Guests who have been given a name tag will NOT be wearing a uniform, and unless someone thinks the guest is actually the Cruise Director (which the name tag will clarify that they are not), there should be no confusion over who is a guest and who is an employee.

There are a lot of crew in “civilian clothes” with name tags on the ship. Many of the entertainment staff have privs to eat in the buffet. And will be in the theater to encourage guest appreciation of the shows.

I just looked for some on eBay.  Couldn't find anything.

Sure, but only when they are off-duty, not while they are working. You can take the position that some guests aren't bright enough to know the difference, but I think it is pretty easy to tell a working employee from one who is off duty. Unless you are looking specifically for the Cruise Director, perhaps not bothering people who are not dressed as crew might be a good practice.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a Cruise Karen.  Why anyone would want to wear a nametag, and possibly be confused with a member of the crew, is beyond my comprehension.

I don't think it is "stupidity," but is definitely a " need to have their status acknowledged by others "!

40 minutes ago, ggTexasGal said: I don't think it is "stupidity," but is definitely a " need to have their status acknowledged by others "!

Except that their status acknowledgment is achieved by the presentation of the tag, not by its wear. The status comes from the cruise line, not from the other guests. Read this thread - a number of "knowledgeable cruisers" aren't even aware of the how or why of these name tags, so how could they possibly grant any sort of "acknowledgement".

OTOH, the crew is very aware of what they are and what they mean.

The way you try to dismiss this reminds me of the fox announcing that the grapes he couldn't reach were soured.

Got to be frank with you, I've read this post 3 times and still don't understand it.

Regarding those who insist on being acknowledged by anyone, be they crew or other guests, for the number of times they've cruised any particular line, tells me more about their insecurity in general and narcissism overall, than whatever badge they wear.

Cruise Ducks - FREE Duck Tags Template - Download & Print NOW

Cruise Ducks - FREE Duck Tags Template - Download & Print NOW

Cruise Duck Tags are the second most important item needed in the cruise ducking game. You've acquired your little, rubber friends. Now they need labels. Fortunately, we have what you need.

In our post below, we provide the best options for the following.

  • FREE printable Cruise Duck Tags
  • FREE customizable Tags WITH TRACKING
  • Amazon pre-made Ducking Labels with elastics

First let's go over some of the basics. For those that are new to this phenomenon, here's a bit of background.

What are cruise duck tags?

You're probably familiar with the concept of "cruise ducks." People hide these lovable creatures while on their ship. Other passengers find these and appreciate the little surprise. The "finder" then re-hides the cruise duck or takes it as a souvenir.

Duck Tags are a very important piece of this interaction. Without them, these ducks have no context. No story. No personality. These cruise ducking tags typically provide the following pieces of information:

  • FROM : The duck hider put a lot of time and effort into their efforts. They deserve a little credit. This field allows for the originator to add names.
  • DATE : This displays the date that the individual's cruise.
  • HOMETOWN : It's fun to know where on earth this duckie came from. The "hometown" field lets the hider show off the location that they call home.
  • MESSAGE : Sometimes, there's extra space for a special message. This can be really fun. Unfortunately, space is limited on these little tags.

Which option is the best for you? That's all going to depend on ducking preferences.

Below we highlight the Pros and Cons of each method. We're confident that you'll find the perfect solution below.

You're not tied to just one strategy! Most people choose to hide dozens of ducks. Feel free to implement multiple methods seen below!

#1 - FREE Cruise Duck Tags Templates (DIY)

The DIY method involves a bit more work and a few ingredients. You'll need a printer, paper, ink scissors, and a hole punch. You'll also want some elastics or ribbons to tie your labels onto your duckies.

Here's a comprehensive list of what you'll need for this method.

  • Paper (thick stock)
  • Printer & Color Ink
  • Rubber Bands or Ribbons
  • Pen or Marker (non-smudge)
  • Laminate or Tape (optional)

DIY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 : Click to Download your Free Cruise Ducks Tags Template .

STEP 2 : Print your tags on thick-stock paper. Make sure to choose "double-sided" in your printer settings. This will perfectly print out your labels with a front and back design.

STEP 3 : Hand write your info on each tag. Include your ship, date, name and any special message you might want to include.

STEP 4 : Cut out your cruise ducking labels and hole-punch where indicated by the circle. Feel free to laminate or cover with tape at this point. This is not necessary if done on thick stock paper. If on regular paper, you'll likely want to laminate or apply tape for protection.

STEP 5 : Add your elastics or ribbons. Tie or stretch the labels around your ducks and you're ready to go!

The method above is the most common. Most of us have these necessary items at home. It makes for a really fun arts & crafts experience with the kids and a great way to get excited about your upcoming sailing!

Here are the downsides of this strategy. It could be costly. Thick-stock paper and elastics will cost roughly $15 from Amazon or your local supplies store. Ink is also very expensive. If you're running low, this could cost as much as $50 to replenish. The DIY method also doesn't have that professional look and feel. "Cutting a perfect circle" is easier said than done.

As convenient as this method is, there are some major drawbacks . These labels don't offer the space needed to add many fun details. AND... they can only be used ONE TIME. Once you've filled in your tags, anyone finding the ducks has no space to add a message or other details.

Most importantly, though... you'll likely never hear back from anyone who finds your ducks. You can follow the social media hashtags and hope to see a post. In all likelihood, though, you'll never see your sweet little yellow guy again.

Fortunately, there is a much better solution !

#2 - FREE Cruise Duck Tags WITH TRACKING

We have a NEW option to register your cruise duck AND track it, for FREE! You can do this with as many or as few of your ducks as you'd like.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 : Click here to register your cruise duck . Add a unique name, bio, cruise info, and even a photo for its profile.

Step 2 : At the end of the registration process, you'll be given a custom cruise duck tag with personalized tracking code. Print it out on card-stock paper. There's no need to write anything on the label. All info is added for you!

Step 3 : Punch a hole where indicated. Add an elastic or ribbon to affix the custom tag to the registered duck. That's it!

When a fellow passenger finds it, they'll go to the web site noted. They'll add the custom code and details on their discovery. You'll get notified with these details. Every time your duck is found, we'll send you an email showing you who found it and any added notes & photos!

The cruise ducking fun can go on and on with each finder. And you'll get to participate in the journey with each notification!

#3 - Cruise Duck Tags on Amazon

We also offer our pack of 30 cruise duck tags on Amazon . These come on thick-stock paper, pre-cut and including elastic bands. You can easily customize these labels in the empty, input fields. They include the same cruise duck template info as seen above.

This option is the quickest, easiest, and probably the cheapest. You won't have the tracking capabilities as seen above if choosing just this method.

We hope that this provides you with all of the info you'll need to properly tag your cruising ducks!

Soon, we hope to offer Tracking Tags on Amazon. If you'd like to see that happen, please let us know in the comments below!

Introduction

When embarking on a cruise vacation, one of the crucial steps to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience is properly attaching your luggage tags. Luggage tags serve a crucial purpose as they help identify and deliver your bags to the correct stateroom on the cruise ship. Without these tags, it can be quite challenging for the cruise staff to sort and distribute luggage efficiently. Therefore, it’s important to know how to correctly attach your cruise luggage tags.

In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to attach cruise luggage tags effectively. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveler, these tips will help you navigate the process with ease.

Before we delve into the steps, it’s worth noting that each cruise line may have slightly different procedures or tag formats. It’s essential to check the specific guidelines provided by your cruise line to ensure compliance. However, the general process described here is applicable to most cruise ships and can serve as a helpful starting point.

Step 1: Gather necessary materials

Before you begin attaching your cruise luggage tags, make sure you have all the necessary materials at hand. By gathering these items beforehand, you’ll be able to complete the process smoothly without any interruptions. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Cruise luggage tags: These tags are typically provided by the cruise line in your pre-cruise documents. They are usually made of sturdy paper or plastic and come in a standard size.
  • Clear luggage tag holders: While some cruise lines provide adhesive luggage tag holders, it’s a good idea to invest in your own. Clear plastic holders protect the tags from getting damaged or detached during your journey.
  • Scissors: You’ll need a pair of sharp scissors to cut out the luggage tags from the sheet they are printed on.
  • Tape (optional): In case your tag holders do not have an adhesive backing, having tape handy will help you secure the tags to the holders.

Ensure that you have enough supplies for all the luggage items you’ll be checking in. It’s always a good idea to have a few spare tag holders and some extra tape, just in case.

By gathering all the necessary materials in one place, you’ll save time and avoid the frustration of searching for items while trying to attach the tags. Now that you have everything ready, let’s move on to the next step.

Step 2: Locate the luggage tags

Once you have gathered all the necessary materials, the next step is to locate the luggage tags provided by the cruise line. These tags are typically included in your pre-cruise documents or e-tickets. Here’s how you can find them:

  • Check your pre-cruise documents: Most cruise lines send pre-cruise documents to your registered email address or mailing address. These documents usually contain important information about your cruise, including luggage tags. Look for a section labeled “Luggage Tags” or “Baggage Tags,” which will provide specific instructions on how to access and print the tags.
  • Retrieve e-tickets: If you received e-tickets instead of physical documents, double-check the email or online account where you received them. Cruise lines often include a link or attachment in the e-ticket email that allows you to print your luggage tags.
  • Contact the cruise line: If you’re unable to locate your luggage tags or face any difficulties, don’t hesitate to reach out to the cruise line’s customer service. They will be able to assist you in obtaining the necessary tags before your departure.

It’s important to note that some cruise lines have transitioned to electronic luggage tags, which utilize digital technology instead of physical tags. In such cases, you may need to download and display a barcode or QR code on your smartphone or other electronic device. Again, refer to the instructions provided by your specific cruise line to ensure compliance.

Once you have located the luggage tags, either in physical or electronic form, you’re ready to move on to the next step and prepare them for attachment.

Step 3: Prepare the luggage tags

Before attaching the luggage tags to your cruise luggage, it’s essential to prepare them properly. This step ensures that the tags are in optimal condition and securely attach to your bags. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Cut out the tags: Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut out each luggage tag from the sheet they are printed on. Make sure to follow the designated cutting lines to ensure a clean and neat tag shape.
  • Remove any excess paper or plastic: After cutting out the tags, check for any remaining rough edges or excess paper or plastic. Trim off any unwanted bits to ensure a smooth and professional-looking tag.
  • Fill in the required information: Most luggage tags will have designated sections where you are required to fill in specific information. This may include your name, cabin number, ship name, and embarkation date. Use a pen or permanent marker to complete these fields legibly and accurately.
  • Slide the tags into the holders: If you are using clear plastic luggage tag holders, carefully slide each prepared tag into the holder from the top. Ensure that the tag is fully visible and centered within the holder.
  • Secure the tags (if necessary): Depending on the type of tag holders you have, they may come with adhesive backing, in which case you can skip this step. However, if your holders do not have adhesive, use clear tape to secure the tag to the holder, ensuring that it is firmly attached.

By taking the time to properly prepare the luggage tags, you ensure that they are clear, legible, and securely protected during your journey. This will help prevent any damage or detachment, ensuring that your bags are easily identifiable by the cruise staff. With your tags prepared and ready, you’re halfway through the process. The next step is to attach them to your cruise luggage.

Step 4: Attach the luggage tags to your cruise luggage

Now that you have prepared your luggage tags, it’s time to attach them to your cruise luggage securely. Follow these steps to ensure that the tags are properly affixed:

  • Locate a sturdy handle or strap: Look for a visible and sturdy handle or strap on your luggage item. This can be on the side, top, or front of the bag. Ensure that the handle or strap can support the weight of the tag without easily breaking or detaching.
  • Open the luggage tag holder: If your tag holder has a flap or slot closure, gently open it to reveal the tag inside. Keep the holder in an open position for easy insertion of the handle or strap.
  • Slide the holder over the handle or strap: Carefully slide the open side of the tag holder over the chosen handle or strap on your luggage. Position the holder in a way that allows the luggage tag to be clearly visible and easily accessible.
  • Close the tag holder securely: Once the tag holder is in place on the handle or strap, securely close the holder. Make sure that it snaps, clicks, or fastens shut properly to prevent accidental opening or detachment.

Additionally, ensure that the luggage tag is facing outward and is easily visible for easy identification by the cruise staff. This will expedite the luggage handling process and ensure that your bags reach the correct stateroom on the cruise ship.

Repeat this process for each piece of luggage that requires a tag. If you have multiple bags, make sure to attach the appropriate luggage tags to the corresponding items to avoid any confusion.

It’s worth noting that some cruise lines may require specific placement of the luggage tags on your bags. Refer to the guidelines provided by your cruise line to ensure that you are complying with their instructions.

With your luggage tags securely attached, you are well on your way to a seamless check-in and baggage handling process. However, it’s important to double-check your tags to ensure everything is in order, which leads us to the next step.

Step 5: Double-check the attachment

Before you finalize the process of attaching your luggage tags, it’s crucial to double-check the attachment to ensure everything is in order. This step helps you catch any potential mistakes or issues that may have occurred during the attaching process. Follow these steps to double-check the attachment:

  • Inspect the tag holder: Take a close look at the tag holder to ensure it is securely closed and properly fastened. Verify that the closure mechanism is functioning as intended and that there are no signs of damage or detachment.
  • Verify the tag visibility: Confirm that the luggage tag is clearly visible and facing outward. Ensure that the necessary information, such as your name and cabin number, is fully legible and easily readable.
  • Check for any obstructions: Examine the luggage item to ensure that there are no obstructions or items obstructing the luggage tag. Make sure that the tag is not hidden behind handles, straps, or other objects that may make it difficult to view or scan.
  • Give it a gentle tug: Give the luggage tag a gentle tug to confirm that it is securely attached. It should be firmly affixed to the handle or strap of your bag without any signs of detachment or looseness.

By conducting a thorough double-check, you can have peace of mind knowing that your luggage tags are correctly attached and will withstand the rigors of the baggage handling process. This step minimizes the risk of your tags getting torn, detached, or misplaced during transit.

If you notice any issues or concerns during the double-check process, take the time to rectify the problem before heading to the cruise ship. This may involve reattaching the tags, replacing damaged tag holders, or seeking assistance from the cruise line’s staff.

With your luggage tags securely attached and double-checked, you’re ready to proceed to the final stage of the process if you have multiple luggage items that require tags.

Step 6: Repeat for multiple luggage items

If you have multiple luggage items that require luggage tags, it’s important to repeat the attaching process for each bag. This step ensures that all of your bags are properly labeled and easily identifiable by the cruise staff. Follow these steps to attach luggage tags to multiple items:

  • Prepare the tags for each bag: Take the time to cut out and prepare the luggage tags for each individual bag. Make sure to fill in the required information accurately and clearly for each tag.
  • Locate the appropriate handle or strap: Inspect each bag and find a sturdy handle or strap where the luggage tag can be securely attached. It’s essential to choose a visible and durable attachment point for each bag.
  • Slide the tag holder onto each handle or strap: Open the tag holder for each bag and carefully slide it onto the chosen handle or strap. Ensure that the tag holder is positioned correctly and the tag is easily visible.
  • Securely close each tag holder: Once the tag holder is in place, close it securely to prevent accidental opening or detachment during transit. Double-check that each tag holder is properly fastened.

By repeating the attaching process for each bag, you ensure that all of your luggage items are properly identified and destined for the correct stateroom on the cruise ship. This step is crucial in minimizing the chances of mix-ups or delays in receiving your bags once you board the cruise ship.

As you attach the tags to each bag, take a moment to verify that they are securely attached and the necessary information is easily visible. This will help guarantee a smooth baggage handling process and ensure that your luggage reaches your designated cabin without any issues.

Once you have attached the luggage tags to all of your bags, it’s time to finalize your preparations and embark on your cruise adventure!

Attaching cruise luggage tags properly is an essential step to ensure a seamless and organized embarkation process. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can confidently prepare and attach your luggage tags, allowing the cruise staff to swiftly identify and deliver your bags to your assigned stateroom. Here’s a quick recap of the steps:

  • Gather necessary materials such as luggage tags, tag holders, scissors, and tape.
  • Locate the luggage tags in your pre-cruise documents or e-tickets.
  • Prepare the luggage tags by cutting them out, filling in the required information, and placing them in the tag holders.
  • Attach the luggage tags to your bags by sliding the tag holders onto a sturdy handle or strap and securing them in place.
  • Double-check the attachment to ensure the tags are properly affixed, visible, and securely closed.
  • If you have multiple bags, repeat the process for each item, taking care to assign the correct tags to the corresponding bags.

By following these steps, you can enhance the efficiency of the baggage handling process, minimize the risk of lost or misdirected luggage, and enjoy a stress-free embarkation experience. Remember to refer to the specific guidelines provided by your cruise line for any additional instructions or requirements.

Now that you have successfully attached your cruise luggage tags, it’s time to embark on your adventure and make unforgettable memories onboard. Set sail with confidence, knowing that your bags will safely arrive at your stateroom, ready to begin your extraordinary cruise journey.

She's been on over 40 cruises and says AirTags are now a must-have for her travels

  • Allie Hubers, an experienced cruiser, said she always packs an AirTag in her travel bag.
  • In a Cruise Blog article, Hubers wrote that AirTags help her locate her bags quickly.
  • Hubers said paying $24 for an AirTag is worth the peace of mind while cruising.

Insider Today

Allie Hubers, an experienced traveler who's boarded over 40 cruises, says an Apple AirTag is now an essential item on her packing list.

In an article for the industry site Cruise Blog , Hubers shared her four must-pack items for a cruise. Hubers told Business Insider in an email that she's been cruising since she was three years old and has traveled to 59 countries, mostly by cruise. Hubers is a freelance writer and full-time operations analyst, per her LinkedIn profile.

Hubers wrote in the article that she first brought an AirTag — a 1.2-inch device enabling iPhone users to track its real-time location — before a 12-night European cruise in 2022.

What she loved about the AirTag , Hubers said, was that she could track her bags at the cruise terminal and ensure they were on board the ship. She found this helpful, as passengers typically have to leave their luggage with porters at the cruise terminal.

"With my Apple AirTag, I can be confident that I won't lose the location of my luggage," Hubers wrote on the blog.

Another upside to using an AirTag while cruising is easily locating your bag by playing a "ding" sound on the device, Hubers said. When disembarking from a cruise, passengers have to look for their own bags at the cruise terminal, she added.

"The price is minimal compared to the peace of mind it provides knowing the exact location of my belongings at all times," Hubers wrote, referring to how much an AirTag costs — $29 a piece, or $99 for a pack of four.

Hubers told BI that when she traveled on a 12-night African cruise last month, her bags didn't show up until hours after she boarded. That's when the AirTags became handy, Hubers said.

"I started to worry that my bag did not get loaded onto the ship," Hubers said.

"I was able to use the 'Find My' app to play a sound on the AirTag and locate my luggage down the hallway — my suitcase had been delivered to the wrong cabin!" she added.

Other tracking devices are available for non-iPhone users as well. Tile , a tracker compatible with both iOS and Android phones, costs $25. The similarly priced Chipolo tracker is another option for those using Androids.

AirTags have gained popularity among travelers in recent years amid fears of companies mishandling bags. In October, a Business Insider reporter wrote that packing a pair of AirTags in her suitcase gave her confidence while traveling to Europe for the first time. And in November, a passenger used an AirTag to track her bag's location in Jamaica after WestJet mishandled it on a domestic flight in Canada.
