mattR Posted September 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2018 We are taking a cruise to the ABC islands next Dec and will be booking some private excursions and dinner reservations. The Explorer sails from Miami which is in a different time zone then the ABC islands. If my cruise calendar states that we are departing Aruba at 9pm would that mean 8pm local time? Want to have a nice sunset dinner on the beach but defiantly don't wan't to miss the boat. Also wondering about meeting up with our private shore excursions.

Ned11 Posted September 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I believe that you always stick to the ship time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.A.M.J.R. Posted September 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ask the tour operators. They will know what time the ship arrives and leaves based on their local time. It might be different than ship time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal says that pre-cruise itinerary times are in local time at the time of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Sometimes, the Captain will change the ship's time to match local time...sometimes, they don't. No matter...SHIP'S time is all that matters to YOU! You will be informed a day ahead of time, so you can make adjustments, if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSteelerfan Posted September 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2018 This is a great site to use to check times anywhere in the world. Better to check after DST ends to give you more accurate info since you are sailing in December. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
