Hi!! I am a first time cruiser and we are taking the Celebrity Beyond from Rome on May 15, 2023 going to the Greek Islands and Turkey. The cruise is a compromise between more independent travelers and travelers who prefer easy, relaxed travel. We are planning to do mostly independent excursions and I am trying to understand what "ship's time" means for Celebrity. Do they adjust to the time in the port of call or do they always follow the time zone of the initial port? We will be in 3 different time zones and I want to time our independent excursions correctly. Also, any tips for first time cruisers and on booking independent excursions very welcome. Thank you!
