Cruisincouple2368 Posted March 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2018 My husband and I are sailing from Vancouver BC to Hawaii September 2018 - trying to figure the whole time thing out so we can book some activities outside of what the cruise line offers. We have down a number of cruises and we have always stayed on ship time in every port - just haven’t been on a cruise with such a big time change. So will we stay on ship time based on Vancouver departure or will we transition to island time? According to Carnival rep I talked to tonight she says we stay on Vancouver time however seems like it would cause a lot of confusion if we did. Can anyone offer any clarity??? Thanks in advance!

I imagine they misspoke as it is usually a 3 hour time difference. We have sailed that route several times on Royal Caribbean and they change the clocks several times along the way to get on island time when you arrive in the first port. Don't believe everything (or most things ;p) the service reps say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted March 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ships stay on local time in all ports of call. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Carnival normally stays on ship time when the change is one hour. But that is not the case going to Hawaii in terms of the hour difference. I would ask about this on the Carnival Cruise Line Board just to be sure. Logic tells me they would do local time in this situation. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted March 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I agree with checking on the Carnival board, here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215 as this is a Carnival specific policy issue. I agree with Keith, logic would say for the ship to switch times, but Carnival has been famously inconsistent on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
