RICKnVICK Posted February 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I am sailing on the Dream May 23rd. Received an email from Carnival yesterday, stating we would now be sailing at 3:30pm instead of 4pm. No problem here! However, our time in Cozumel is now 8am-4pm, meaning we have to be back on the ship by 3pm. I am not thrilled about this, but anytime in Cozumel to me is better than no time at all. Just wondering if anyone would know why time in Cozumel is now shorter? Thanks in advance! Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airlink diva Posted February 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hi not sailing on the Dream, but Valor in September. Received the same notice of departure time from New Orleans. Going to check my Cozumel time didn't look to see if there was a change on that. Curious if it's due to traffic on the river? I know in December was on the Dream and we left New Orleans late due to heavy river traffic. Or maybe due to river tides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcuchio24 Posted February 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I had the same thing for a Magic cruise this year. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 15, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The only answer as to the time change is "Operational Reasons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottacruises Posted February 16, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It's actually almost if not every sailing of the dream through 2020.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MeganGC1983 Posted February 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2019 We are set to sail the Dream 4/7... still scheduled as “normal” 4pm departure, Cozumel 7-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wms99 Posted February 18, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I got the letter for 3:30 departure out of NOLA on the Glory in May. There is a very large upside to this. An extra hour of daylight to enjoy the river section of the cruise is OK by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treyatl2006 Posted February 18, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 18, 2019 We got it for our cruise on the Sunrise later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardamnweagle Posted February 19, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 19, 2019 March 17, 2019 sailing, still showing 4pm. I wouldn’t mind leaving earlier. I am going to do a time lapse video down the river so extra light would be a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauriewojo68 Posted February 20, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I just looked at our itinerary for our March 2, 2020 cruise and we leave at 3:30 now. And Cozumel is 7-4. I am glad I looked at this post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggs And Bacon Posted February 20, 2019 #15 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I got the same email a week or two ago about the Breeze out of Port Canaveral. I wonder if they will open up check-in times 30 min earlier than usual (not that it matters for us, we like to aim for 11:30-ish so we can go to the manatee sanctuary park in port).

1lizette1 Posted February 20, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I received a similar email about our cruise on the Magic, Jan 12 2020. Now leaving Fort Lauderdale at 3:30 instead of 4pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeBeCruisinMon Posted February 20, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I’m sailing on the Dream out of NOLA on March 24th 2019 and did not get that letter. We’re not stopping in Cozumel though so maybe it depends on the itinerary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forwardcabin Posted March 10, 2019 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Well... whatever the circumstances, and knowing how Carnival has been operating lately, it is likely because they are paying a lot for something (or someone) and want to cut back on expenses.

scoobikins Posted March 12, 2019 #24 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Got the same notice; last month for October on the Glory out of N.O., and last week for the Dream out of Galveston in May.
