Daylight Savings Time

[MrCruzdoggie]

We be on the Edge when Daylight Savings Time hits. Shouldn't we a get a credit since the cruise will be cut an hour short?

No, cruises are by the night, so no luck there.😁

As a nurse I always felt when the clocks turn back we should get paid for the extra hour on night shift. Never happened.

I never heard of a cruise priced by the hour.

CruiseHookers are by the hour.

I suppose a person should ask for a pro-rata reduction in price for an eastbound TA where they keep switching the clock forward an hour as you go across, too! 😜  That's the only reason we take a westbound TA -- we get more hours aboard ship.  Or at least more sleep.  I think.  ???

We had the same argument where we worked, Union and management involved. Since it was a Police Dept with rotating days off they tried to make it a wash but it complicated because people were saying I was working last change and not working this time. Went on for twenty years.

C'mon people this is Cruise Critic.  The important question is "How do I deduct one hour from the automatic gratuities?"   🙂

Didn't you figure that into your decision to book the cruise?

LOL -- -dream on.    Nor will they charge you extra when Daylight Savings time ends.

 

The fun thing with time zones etc.  When I did the TP to Japan they gave me an extra day of points because we went over the date line.

Working a graveyard union job, we got paid an hour overtime during Fall Back when our 8-hr or 10-hr shift became 9 or 11 hours that one night of the year. During Spring Forward, we got 8/10 hrs pay for working 7/9 hr shifts that night. Win-win! 😉

If you are on a western TA you will get 7  25 hour days. 6 if you sail West, but miss the daylight saving night.

Guess its a slow day on CC......but to continue the discussion, as I see it based on a 7-night cruise that would be about a .00595 credit due.  So for every $100 spent on the cruise fare you should receive about 59.5 cents back.  I say go for it!

As @gerelmx and @Jim_lain have commented, would you then be OK with them charging your stateroom account for the extra hour should your cruise take place when the clocks fall back in the fall?  Or would that just be a "red flag" time period to avoid cruising?

I am reasonably certain that MrCruzdoggie was joking

Just a note: It's Daylight Saving Time.

We weren't unionized, but our bosses rationale was that we got paid for the entire shift in the Spring when we worked one less hour,  so it all worked out (according to them).  That worked if you were on that night in the Spring.

Oh I got that from the initial post, as referenced by my initial "must be a slow day on CC" comment -  I was just poking the bear to add to the "fun".

LOL - Florida is still trying to on Dalight Saving Times year round (hasn't passed yet).

 

Somehow, being ahead of the rest of the east coast half the year seems to be inappropriate for Florida.

 

It would make more sense to turn the calendars back a century....

IMO DST makes no sense anymore.  Should drop the concept and maintain a single time.  Of course then the argument would be which time? - "fall back" or "spring forward" based.  LOL.

 

Personally my vote would be "spring forward"!

What about when you cross a time zone either adding or subtracting an hour?  Do you have a spreadsheet to keep track?  Maybe you will break even.  A better alternative is to just drink and fogettaboutit.😁
