Rottweiler Puppy Posted March 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am sure its has been covered. The times listed by Carnival for the ports of call, are they listing local times? Or does the ship stay on the time zone it left from? I am leaving from Miami. Says arrival in Cozumel at 8 but I don't know if thats local time or what? Same for Grand Cayman, says arrival at 7:30 Edited to add Looks like Grand Cayman time is the same here and there are no adjustments for 2011 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=377 Cozumel DST changes April 3rd (just a heads up for anyone traveling there) http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1235 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The ship usually stays on it's own time - Eastern time for FLA departures, Central for New Orleans and TX - for the cruise, except for repositioning cruises. Goos luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted March 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've never been told to change my watch when sailing out of Miami. The ship will stay on Miami time even though Coz is a different time. The Fun Times will always tell you and they will make announcements if you need to change your watch. If you are trying to set up private shore excursions just make them for "upon ships arrival" the tour operators are quite adaptable. Remember in Grand Cayman that Carnival excursions have priority tendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezmo Posted March 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Edit: I had my first info slightly wrong. On my April '09 cruise out of Miami the following happened: Sat, April 11 - Boarding Sun, April 12, At Sea - told to move clocks BACK one hour at bedtime Mon, April 13, Cozumel Tue, April 14, At Sea Wed, April 15, Grand Cayman Thu, April 16, Ocho Rios - told to move clocks FORWARD one hour at bedtime Fri, April 17, At Sea Sat, April 18, Debark Must have been DST related.

Rottweiler Puppy Posted March 9, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I just checked the port in Cozumel. It shows the Liberty arriving the same time as my itinerary. I am guessing times are listed as local times from Carnival on my confirmation e-mail. Ship time appears to be local time then. Well for Carnival Liberty at least.

Rottweiler Puppy Posted March 9, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Remember in Grand Cayman that Carnival excursions have priority tendering. How bad is the tendering at GC? I need to meet with my tour at 9:15 local. Our ship gets in 7:30 I am guessing I might not be able to make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
