It's far better to be early than late...I recently flew out of Sydney to Bali but flew down from Ballina the day before and stayed at Wooli Creek (5 min to airport)...gave me peace of mind to at least know I was in Sydney.
As for your trip I would definitely fly to Brisbane the day before...as for accommodation there are plenty of motels on Kingsford Smith Dive opposite or near the Cruise Terminal.
We recently stayed at a The Aero Lodge Motel not far from the Hamilton Hotel (good pub)...motel was ok but there are better...
Will they let you take our Mal on the cruise ship...lol
