Razberryt Posted January 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We're sailing on the 22nd out of New Orleans and I'm wondering if the stated time on the itinerary for arriving in Progreso is the same as the local time. I realize it is the ship time, I need to know if the local time is the same, or if there is a way to figure out what the difference will be? Thanks!

ddloml Posted January 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We'll be cruising to Progresso/Cozumel on March 12-17, 2011. That is the weekend that the US switches to Daylight Savings Time. Does Mexico switch that same weekend, or will the local time be different down there?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooty Posted January 21, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If I'm reading this site correctly, it looks like Mexico starts DLS on April 4th this year... http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=155 Now, I'm confused. Does the ship time set with the location? Meaning, if it's 10:30 in Mexico is the ship time going to be the same?? So for port days, you need to follow ship time, correct?

WilliamLawson Posted January 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The best thing to do is to check your watch as you leave the ship and then calculate the number of hours you are going to be in port and sightsee accordingly. Mexico has the unsettling habit of following a different DLS schedule which makes for some interesting moments at the airport when one shows up for the morning flight to Houston and finds that the plane has already left!!:eek: Happy planning!
