blyle Posted February 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'll be on the conquest in May and am trying to book some private excursions. I know that GC does not switch to Daylight savings . Does the Conquest stay on CST in May? Will there be a time difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted February 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The ship will stay on whatever the time is, for the port of embarkation, for the entire cruise. This is normally the rule, with a very few exceptions. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyle Posted February 20, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted February 20, 2010 So.... when we change to daylight savings and go ahead 1 hour we will be on the same time as Grand Cayman? Texas is CST one hour earlier than EST right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted February 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The Conquest switches time in the winter when the USA is on standard time. In the summer the Conquest doesn't switch time as it is unnecessary. For your cruise in May the time in all three ports is the same as the time in Galveston. Galveston central time zone, observes daylight saving time MoBay eastern time zone does not observe daylight saving time Grand Cayman eastern time zone does not observe daylight saving time Cozumel central time zone, observes daylight saving time The only weeks of the year where port time doesn't match ship time are in Cozumel during the handful of sailing between when the USA changes time in March and November and when Mexico changes time in April and October. These changes do not effect your sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted February 20, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I really don't think you need to worry about this too much anyway, as, trust me,,those folks who run the private excursions, know what time it is aboard the ship. They'd better,,,or they might not get you back on board before the ship sails! :eek: I think if you arrange to meet your tour guide at the end of the pier at 9 A.M.,,,he'll be there at 9 A.M., ships time.

texasnana Posted February 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2010 We were there in jan and were told to keep ship time not to change our watches and to be back on teh boat by 5:30 ship time. So i would say stay on ship time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i would say stay on ship time. You must have sailed on Voyager of the Seas which doesn't change ship time in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyle Posted February 21, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The private excursion time is 9:00 AM and since we tender and the arrival time listed is 9:00 I was not sure we could make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LambKnuckles Posted February 21, 2010 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Returned on the CONQUEST 2/7/10 and in the Caymans Chris, the CD, reminded us to keep our watch on SHIP'S TIME... which would be an hour off Caymans' time... Don't look at a local clock... keep time on your watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted February 21, 2010 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2010 When in doubt, check with Guest Services (purser) to make sure what the "ship time" is. There is usually an announcement when the ship changes times, but just in case you missed it......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyle Posted February 21, 2010 Author #13 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Actually I can't wait until we get on because I am trying to book a private excursion and want to be sure I can make it off the ship in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
