FOS ship time vs. cayman time

If our ship docks at 8:00 am will be able to make an excursion that starts at 8:30? I am not sure about the time change or the tender:confused:

If it is a ship's excursion yes. If not you may have some trouble unless the company says they will wait for you. Interesting story of my recent cruise....I had a ship's excursion in Grand Cayman that said "Meet in the Coral Theatre at 8am, we will then all go on a tender over together and departure time for excursion is 8:30am". Also the Cruise Compass said you needed tender tickets to go over to Grand Cayman, first tender wouldn't go over until 8:00am, etc.

 

Well guess what? I walked down to deck 2 at 7:15 and they were already letting people go over, no tender tickets needed. Just walked off the ship and rode over. So I was on Grand Cayman by 7:30 and had an hour on my own to explore before the rest of my tour mates arrived around 8:30. :D

Nice! Do you remember if the ship time and the Cayman time matched? I think there are some issues as the Caymans don't have daylight savings.

I visited Grand Caymen back in early November on the Freedom. Some tours met on the ship while others met on land. ALWAYS go by SHIP TIME at any port that you go. Our ship time stayed with EDT. I believe that Grand Caymen was an hour behind us in CDT. But I cant stress enough keep you watches or timepieces to SHIP TIME.

Believe me, I have no intention watching her sail away while me and my children are still on land. I just want to know whether I can make an 8:20 private excurstion, Cayman time.

if you have a cell phone, put it in airplane mode.

You will not have any roaming charges and it will stay on ships time.

Or

Force cell phone to ships time and turn off auto update of time. You can still make calls & you will be on ships time.

 

Have you visited here

I was just there last week and I believe ship time and Cayman time matched.

Grand Cayman is in EST, not CST.
