Roatan is in a different time zone and we’ll have Daylight Savings Time on top of it.. how do you account for keeping track of time at ports like this? Trying to figure out what time our driver should pick us up! Thanks kindly, enjoy your breakfast! Roatan is in CST and they do NOT observe daylight savings time. The arrival time posted is ships Time, so when making arrangements with the local driver you have to make sure the time you agree on is LOCAL time and NOT ship time. However they usually have a schedule but it’s always good to confirm and double check and triple check. Like my pool towel charge dilemma 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like my pool towel charge dilemma 😂 This is super helpful and matches with my email correspondence. The math I’m trying to do😭 He told me that the Allure has been getting in at 7am Roatan time.. so I told him to grab us at 9am Roatan time to be safe since it says we’ll dock at 9am ship time and the gangway will go down at 9:30 ship time.. so I figured that makes sense?! Just like the towels, I don’t want to get a charge for something silly!! In this case, missing a day at the beach! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted March 12, 2022 Author #54 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Day 1 Embarkation Day In Uber now … we are flying to the port! $25.00 from the Fairfield West Doral and Uber said the price is much lower than usual. Wow! I am going to have to think about Royal Transfers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also almost at the port, fingers crossed they are not checking arrival times yet, as our arrival time is noon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted March 12, 2022 Author #57 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Day 1 Embarkation This was amazing… I got off the Uber walked towards the door, a nice gentleman opened the rope and let me straight in and up the escalator. Then another person ushered me to the check in agent, then off to security. I took the elevator and they ushered me to the line and I walked right onto the ship. I was on the ship by 10:56AM. That has to be a record right? Another record, I had no time to take pictures because I was in a line that’s always on the move! WOW! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted March 12, 2022 Author #59 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Day 1 Embarkation Day I ran into a snag with making reservations because they put UDP right at 9PM and it conflicts with everything! So I had to be on line at guest relations for a supervisor to override the system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted March 12, 2022 #63 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Loved the Symphony last October when we had only 2400 passengers (there abouts depending who you talk too). She is so beautiful and the workers are excellent. Enjoy We did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted March 12, 2022 Author #65 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Day 1 Embarkation Day They really really really need to fix this UDP scheduling on the APP. They plop that down on your calendar at 9PM and it pretty much conflicts with everything you want to book. Also when you have a show at 7 PM that’s 50 minutes long, you can’t book a dinner until 9 PM because it conflicts. To work around that you need to visit the Box Office, Dinning Desk to override.
