Corfu Time versus Ship Time

[suzski]

I've read a couple of old threads where people mention that their ship is an hour behind Corfu time.....just checking to see if that is still true as it will definitely make a difference when making a rental car reservation. Thanks in advance!

While there may be exceptions we have never had a discrepancy between ship time and shore time in the Med. We have been to Corfu 2X on RCCL and rented cars. I would tell the rental company the time related to what your cruise documents say. You could also contact Guest Relations at your cruise line.

There might be the difference of an hour between Greek time and places further west in the Med, but all the ships we've been on have altered clocks before docking.

In Corfu, the local people are probably aware which ships are due in that day, and at what time- it will be on their port register, the same as any port. The hire car centre in the terminal will certainly know when a ship is due in/out.

Just curious what line you are sailing and where you read this? Every cruise I've ever taken (Med and elsewhere), the local time and ship's time have always agreed (e.g., the ship's time changed to accommodate local time).

Cynthia, I read it on someone's blog about their trip and don't recall what ship they cruised with.
