Radiance Ship Time vs. Local Mexico Time

[mrmac]

Any recent Mexico Radiance cruisers out there - did the ship time get adjusted ahead more than the one hour for Cabo? All the other ports south of there are 2 hours ahead of West Coast time but some ships don't adjust the second hour. Did they tell you if PV time was different from the ship's time? Need to know this for planning non-ship excursions. Thanks.

We leave Monday on a Radiance 11 night cruise and what I've been told by other previous cruisers that did this or the similar 10 night cruise that during the Radiance's longer Mexican Riviera itineraries that goes into two different time zones is that the ship does adjust it's time to the local time.

I've also read that the Mariner doesn't adjust it time for it's seven night itinerary which only goes into one different (1+) time zone

You really don't need to worry about any time changes...you will need to be aware of the ship's time only....if your excursion meets at 10am, meet them at 10am SHIP'S TIME....your guide will understand how this works.

Use a watch (not your cell phone) to "synchronize" ship's time with your watch, so you won't risk missing the ship's departure!

On our 11 night cruise on Radiance we lost one hour before arriving into Cabo and lost another hour before arriving in PV.

Thanks Patti & Jim. You guys look like Radiance experts! We've only done a ship visit on her. Every ship seems to handle the time changes on the MR differently. We need to know so we can book independent excursions. Did they heat the pools going to and from Mexico? Those days can get chilly. Thanks.

I wish I could answer you on the pools, but I really don't know.
