Luggage departure

On the final night of the cruise, you have to pack and leave your large baggage items in the hallway outside your room between 7 pm and 11 pm.

The staff pick up the bags, and the next time you see them is in the passenger terminal in Sydney harbour.

As with boarding, you're advised to keep any essential medication and a change of clothes with you in your smaller bags.

Apparently people have forgotten to pack clothes for the next morning and have tried to get off the ship in various items like bedsheets.
