canderson Posted February 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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. ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omeinv Posted February 28, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2022 C'mon people this is Cruise Critic. The important question is "How do I deduct one hour from the automatic gratuities?" 🙂 Harris Denver, CO 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never happened. 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! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted February 28, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win-win! 😉 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosassa Posted February 28, 2022 #23 Share Posted February 28, 2022 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.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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"! Edited February 28, 2022 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you will break even. A better alternative is to just drink and fogettaboutit.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
