Sunset times Western Caribbean in Feb

[Katie John]

We are sailing on the Dream in early February (first cruise). One of mine and dh's fave things to do on any holiday is to relax with a beverage and watch the sunset. We are cruising with my parents and they want early dining which is fine but I really don't want to skip our little ritual. If the sun sets at 6 could we watch it and arrive a few minutes late for dinner or would it be too late. We are a party of 7 so I don't think we will be sat with anyone other than our family who wouldn't mind if we were a few minutes late. Sorry for the lengthy post:)

put in the name of the place. If the sun sets at 6pm then i think a matter of minutes is good for being a few moments late for dinner- If the sunsets at 6:30 then head to the buffet. Even if you have your own table it throws the wait staff off - and they gotta set up for the next dining time,.

From looking at that site I think the set sets about 6:30- 6:45. IMHO- that is rude to show up that late for dinner

I absolutely would not show up that late. I was thinking if the sun set at 6 pm and we would only be 8-10 minutes late. If it is at 6:30 we will have to miss it:(

Thanks for the link. I was curious why I never get sunset pictures. It's because I was always at early seating :)

Remember, that the local time may be different then ships time so that may throw the timing off.
