    Please forgive what might be a dumb question, but how does “losing a day” work on a cruise like this (Hon to Syd)? We go to bed on Friday and wake up and it’s Sunday? I know I read somewhere in the literature someting about “you lose a day, but not any sunsets!” which just confused me further.

      Like changing your clock +/- 1 hour for a time zone change. When you cross the international date line you change it 24 hrs depending on which way you are traveling.
