Gallivanting Souls Posted December 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Will be at Grand Turk on Christmas day. Wondering what time zone this will be? When I looked up time for Grand Turk on internet, they are 4 hours ahead of me on pacific time. If you have been on Carnival ship and remember when the ship put the clocks ahead, back stayed the same as FLL? It would be appreciated. We would like to Facebook our kids from Grand Turk on Christmas day via wifi if possible and I would like to be able to tell them possible time we might be able to connect. Thank you!

p_mori7 Posted December 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2016 We were there on Sunshine last February. The ship stays on Miami Time (Eastern Time). It is different than island time by 1 hour...but I don't remember which way (probably ahead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTromboneFrack Posted December 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2016 When we went on the Conquest last year to Grand Turk, we stayed on ship time. Never looked at a clock on the island. By the way, we'll be on the Conquest with you on Christmas. Good way to spend the holiday!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be our first Carnival cruise, and our first cruise for Christmas. We sailed Princess our first cruise a few weeks prior to Christmas and it was great and much cheaper :rolleyes: But DH says we deserve it. Nine more days until we start our vacation. We have a trip before the trip to AZ to see son #2 graduate from college in FLG, then a stop at the Grand Canyon, and several days touring AZ. Finally 3 days ahead of the cruise in FLL. So looking forward to some time off. DH is looking fwd to being pampered (and time off from his business). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looking forward to some time off. DH is looking fwd to being pampered (and time off from his business). We've been on several NYE cruises and this will be our second Christmas cruise. Hate the high prices, but our anniversary and its the only time off we get during the year where we can go (I'm a teacher). Too busy in the summers visiting our kids. Both of our sons out of college now, so we know you'll be proud and enjoy graduation. Our last Christmas cruise was a the Disney Magic. The ships are beautiful this time of year. There are decorations everywhere. Never been on Princess, but would love to try them. I enjoy Carnival as much as I enjoyed Disney. Those who have compared Carnival with other cruise lines like Carnival's comedy shows, relaxed atmosphere, Guy's Burgers, and some like the food more than others. Then there are those that don't Carnival has an energy to it and a real laid back feel. We like it all. Hope you enjoy it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtovaca Posted December 17, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Grand Turk as well as all of the ports on this Conquest sailing 12/23 are one hour ahead of Eastern Time. So one hour ahead of ship time. Hope this helps. We are also looking forward to being in Grand Turk on Christmas Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallivanting Souls Posted January 4, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The ship did indeed stay on Eastern time even know Caribbean time is one hour ahead. We were not able to connect to any wifi. We saw many at Margaretta Ville. We waited until San Juan and just called our kids the day after Christmas.
