lotus land Posted January 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Going on the Allure on Feb. 8th. Our Jamaican Food tour starts at 11:00 am. Our ship gets in at 10:30 am. Is the ship time the same as the local time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosjoe Posted January 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Currently it is the same time, till the clocks change again in the spring. Then ship time will be off by 1 hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelerThom Posted January 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Currently it is the same time, till the clocks change again in the spring. Then ship time will be off by 1 hr.Not necessarily true. Allure Western goes to Labadee, Jamaica and Cozumel. Jamaica is on Eastern Standard Time the entire year and Cozumel will be on Central Daylight Time in the summer (Mexico does not switch to Daylight on the same day as the US, but it is close), so during summer Jamaica and Cozumel clocks will read the same. It is entirely possible that the ship time will adjust to match local time for Jamaica and Cozumel, but that is up to the Captain. I have had it both ways. Any tour company you would want to use should know more about ship arrivals and departures than the passengers do; they won't stay in business if they didn't.

Thom That is true, its up to the Captain, and during my summer cruises it never changed on my Oasis cruises. It would be great if they did standardize this to match island time and not rely on the captains choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus land Posted January 7, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thank you all for your replies! I guess I will just hope that the captain will be on Jamaica local time! [emoji2] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
