Time to leave luggage in the hallway the night before disembarking

[zitsky]

My roll call (Eclipse 12/23) says that 10pm is the time to leave luggage in the hallway.  We’ll probably want to do that since we’ll bring a good sized suitcase.

 

We were hoping to get off the ship for dinner.  So I guess the trick is to get back in time to put your suitcase in the hallway?  Or someone suggested putting it out before dinner.  You just need space in your other suitcase for last minute things.

Yes 10pm. Retreat maybe a little later.

I doubt we have ever had our luggage out by 10pm as we don’t go to dinner until 8:30. Usually it’s closer to midnight. Our luggage has always been picked up.

Same here.  My first Celebrity cruise was with my sister, and we'd stay out until around 1 or two with one of our tablemates.  Our luggage got out at 2:30 am.  It got picked up.

 

When our Princess cruise was in Victoria until 11:59pm there was no specified time.

We usually have our luggage out by about 11p to midnight. During the sailings that we did the self walk-off, we skipped all that.

We put ours out before dinner and it was picked right up.

 I always ask our Butler -- oh wait - no more Butler for our Sky Suite.

We put ours out around 8pm with no problems

Isn’t it better to get five different answers from five different people?  😂

We have had the time as 10 pm on most sailings.  We put it out before we go to dinner.  The cabins attendants are the ones collecting the luggage and having them hang around late to collect my luggage isn’t something I would feel comfortable doing.

Just off the Reflection and it was asked that luggage be out by 10:00

[wineoclock]

Our retreat host asked us to have it out by 10.30pm on our Beyond cruise in October as that’s when he finished his shift.

We leave our luggage our after dinner   Typically pack what we wear for dinner and the evening in our carry-on.  No worries- as the earlier the better IMO.  We aren't the type who pack at the last minute.  We  pack up before dinner only leaving what we need for the evening and morning- then put those items in our carry ons.

They don't wait till 10:00 to start picking up luggage. We put our luggage out before dinner, and usually when we get back to the cabin after dinner, they're already gone.

Personally, I would wear the clothing that I will be walking off the ship with while packing my luggage and putting it outside my room. That way, I don't have a unwanted surprise the next morning.

If you forget to set anything aside while packing, you are also likely to be wearing the clothing that you will be walking off the ship with!

Will the crew on the ship tell the flight attendants at the airport that I’m wearing the same clothing the next day?  I would hate for them to laugh at me and point fingers.  😭

Doesn't matter what has worked in the past, in other cabins or other lines.  The ship will provide instructions with the time to put the bags out.  Follow the instructions provided, not what social media says.

We came back from dinner and set the suitcases out after we were ready for bed. Needless to say I didn't keep a shirt out for the morning. I had to wear my wife's colorful night gown and tuck it in my pants. As soon as we retrieved our luggage at the pier I was able to change.

Lol--that is everyone's worst fear (did your wife make the same error?  If yes--very funny.  If no--hey, she didn't have your back, so to speak).  I supposed there's no disembarkation photo to commemorate the event?

No photo but some people we met on the cruise were in the retreat lounge on disembarkation morning and had a good laugh.

They ask to put out luggage by 10PM but you can actually leave it after you return from dinner.   We usually don't go to dinner until 9:00 PM and past 11 by the time we return.  Never had a problem.  We aren't the only ones that leave it out later.

As long as they are all different I believe it's okay.

Exactly!  I think it's very inconsiderate to be putting luggage out at midnight.  If you can't get it out by the required time or there abouts, then do walk-off.  Or keep just one suitcase inside and walk that one off - maybe even a tote bag.
