The official procedure is this:
With accommodations booked:
* You need to have booked a hotel at the place of departure AND arrival
* These 2 hotels provide the ferry boarding / retrieval service for free
* You need to label all luggage yourself before departure
* You need to phone the owner of the next hotel, to communicate the exact ferry departure time, shortly before you leave the hotel, to be sure they are waiting for the right ferry (or ask the hotel owner you leave from to phone, if you leave the hotel very early morning)
* The hotel owner will bring your luggage to the ferry, after you have left, and will check it in for safekeeping
* The receiving hotel owner will collect your luggage from the ferry, and put it in the hotel lounge, or your room(s), at the communicated time, waiting for your arrival
Without accommodations booked:
* You bring the luggage yourself onto the ferry
* The ferry company is not responsible for damage or loss of luggage within the boat, if they are not given for safekeeping and have not been issued with a relevant receipt
* Your luggage will be disembarked on the destination pier, and will be unattended
* You have to collect your own luggage there, once you have arrived
All the best,
