I am cruising on Princess, in December, to the Caribbean and have hired a private tour company in a couple ports - specifically in Dominican Republic and St. Kitts and am wondering if the scheduled arrival time posted by Princess will be the same time as the Island time. I saw several random posts on Cruise Critic re: tour guides which said, when booking private tours, be sure you are going by Island time, which can differ from the ship's time. I always thought if the ship said we would be docking in Amber Cove, Dominican Republic at 9 a.m., that would be the exact time in D.R. Same with St. Kitts - we are scheduled to dock at 9 a.m. - and have booked a guided tour @ 9:45 . Am I correct in assuming that the ship time for docking in these ports is the same as Island time?? tyia
