Cruising from Bali to Irian Jaya and down to Cairns

But what’s wrong with that? 4 pm is 4 pm. Later, sure, you’ve out stayed your welcome.
But 4pm checkouts mean that better rooms and suites are more likely to not be available for those higher status member at 3 pm and earlier so they then complain. As I said I am happy to take a lesser room if it means I can check in early.

Then they shouldn't offer 4pm checkout then.

So that’s up to the hotel to manage. Late checkouts are rarely guaranteed and with Accor Gold and above you have the right to request a late checkout to 4 pm but it’s always subject to availability. I think diamonds might be different.

The place I’m at at the moment is huge. It’s also obviously far from full. I requested my early check-in by one hour and late checkout at 4 pm two days before I arrived in response to their email asking about this sort of thing. I don’t think in this case they have any excuse not to have my room ready at least at 3 pm normal check-in time. And having granted 4 pm checkout I would expect that they have it all arranged such as the next status check-in can be accommodated.
