gizmo911 Posted November 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I think I might have a problem. I booked Flavors of San Juan (a private tour)for 3:30. Although Puerto Rico is part of the US, they don't participate in daylights savings and not sure this even matters. Our ship, the Anthem is due to get into San Juan at 3:00 but is this the port time or is this the ship time and how do I determine if it will be the same or perhaps later?

Goodtime Cruizin Posted November 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Email them of course, but I think you're OK. Tours, private or ship make their money on the cruise ships. They can't get started until the ship(s) arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-Sheffield Posted November 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Most tour operator even if not RCI approved, offer a money back guarantee if the ship does not port, as the previous poster has said, tour companies will wait for the ships to arrive.

BillB48 Posted November 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2015 When you say Puerto Rico does not participate in DST... that is true. However when the U.S. is observing DST, Puerto Rico (Atlantic Standard Time) and the Eastern Daylight Saving Time are the same time, so you won't have any issues.

BillB48 Posted November 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Except in February Florida is on EST. I assumed since the OP is referencing DST, his cruise is when we are observing DST. I didn't see any reference as to when he was cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I jumped to conclusions. Edited November 10, 2015 by FLACRUISER99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo911 Posted November 11, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks for your responses. FYI, I will be on the 12 day Anthem cruise and we are scheduled to stop in Puerto Rico on February 25, 2016. I called ship and they said that they are due to be at this port at 3:00 which will be the same as PR (port) time. Flavors of San Juan is the excursion which begins at 3:30. They said that it takes about 15 minutes to get to location so I am going to have to try and be one of the first ones off ship when it docks at 3:00. Anyone been there and is it really that short of a distance from cruise terminal. I think that I will be cutting it close. :eek: Edited November 11, 2015 by gizmo911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
