mgg42 Posted March 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I'm sailing on Oasis on March 13th, and it's NOT cheap. But then I discover, daylight savings time starts that weekend. I'm LOSING an hour of cruise time when we "spring forward"! Everyone on board should be compensated since this cruise is shorter than advertised!:mad: (joking people!)

wg6530 Posted March 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Book another cruise in the fall so you can get your hour back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted March 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 1, 2010 This is no joke! Consider: A diamond Plus, cruises once a year, they get conned into cruising every year at the time change. After a quater century, they would lose a whole day! Consider: One less hour of Windjammer! Do you realize how much money RCI is making off the poor customer by not feeding them for that hour! This borders on theft! RCI should be publicly disgraced! The horror of cruising....yet another example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted March 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2010 You're absolutely right. If I were you I would call RCCL and demand a 0.994 % discount on the cruise (if my math is right), as you're losing 1 of your 168 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted March 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I bet RCL raises drink prices for this cruise to make up for the revenu they lose for an hour less of drinking!!!:eek:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you I would call RCCL and demand a 0.994 % discount on the cruise (if my math is right), as you're losing 1 of your 168 hours. Your math is right, but I have decided that hour is worth much much more. After all, it's a weekend hour, and it's the first day of the cruise! Is anything more exciting than that first day? And they're CHEATING ME!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted March 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I've been on about three of those cruises (with a fourth coming up). I'm saving up for an entire day lost, then calling C&A to demand compensation. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timh111 Posted March 1, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Think about it, you book a 7 day cruise (say Saturday to Saturday). You can't BOARD on embarkation day until between 11am and 2pm. That's not what I CALL a "FULL DAY". Then, you disembark the following Saturday between 8am and 11am! THAT'S not a FULL day either!! So your ACTUALLY booking a 5 day cruise...not a 7 day cruise!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady_cruiser Posted March 1, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Maybe you can get your hour back by staying on the ship one extra hour before leaving her.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPete Posted March 1, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hey, you're joking . . . but we've seriously said to each other that we should book the cruise where we "fall back" so we'd get an extra hour! Our scheduling has never quite worked out, but we've thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydnite Posted March 1, 2010 #16 Share Posted March 1, 2010 LOL How about the poor prople on the crusies TAs west to east, several hours lost, oh my you could be setting a precedent here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, once the ship springs forward you won't have to worry about ship's time vs local time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickyMcG Posted March 1, 2010 #20 Share Posted March 1, 2010 LOL How about the poor prople on the crusies TAs west to east, several hours lost, oh my you could be setting a precedent here! Yep, we often do the transatlantic and lose an hour a day for several sea days. It gets harder and harder to hit the gym in the am. BUT, this year, we're getting back at RCI, we're heading out of Rome (Civi') and getting an hour back everyday! I do notice it's generally a more expensive cruise than the eastward TA. Hmmmmm :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bxc53 Posted March 1, 2010 #21 Share Posted March 1, 2010 LOL How about the poor people on the cruises TAs west to east, several hours lost, oh my you could be setting a precedent here! Our Westbound TA last fall was great. We gained 5 hrs between London and Florida. It was slightly confusing when it came time to decide when cocktail hour started, but we finally realized that it's always 5 o'clock somewhere! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're CHEATING ME!!!!!!! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately the discount is only .595%. 1 - 167/168 = .00595 But on a $1,000 fare, that still might almost get you another alcoholic beverage!

Rare printingchick Posted March 1, 2010 #25 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Seriously, check your flight schedules. We were flying home from a cruise on Daylight Savings Day a few years ago and our airline itinerary had us landing back in Boston an hour EARLIER than we actually did, due to the time change. We had someone picking us up, so it caused some confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
