Edge in port time zones

[ariansun72]

Hello, please forgive me, I'm sure this question has been already asked.  I will be on the Edge travelling to the ports of San Juan, Tortola, and St. Maartin.  These islands are in the Atlantic time zone.  Can anyone recently back from this itinerary confirm that the ship's time is adjusted from EST to AST?  I want to look into booking excursions, and want to be sure of the time.  Thank you!

They usually switch the ship to local time but you won’t know for sure until you are on board.

Currently in Roatan and they did not switch ship time. They made a couple announcements about it.

Cruisestitch is correct.  Usually the shipuses local time but it is at the discretion of the captain.   

It should not matter as duration in port will not change.  Tour operators should know.  Only issue would be opening time for local stores.

I got off Edge a few days ago (ports were San Juan, Philipisburg/St. Martine, Tortola).  Before San Juan, we had verbal (captain), written (paper on the bed), and TV screen (set by the housekeeper) announcements our clocks were to be set forward going to bed.  The reverse happened on the way back. It was well-done.

You'd have to be very drunk or sick to miss it.
