While I am aware some Carnival Masters don't adjust the cloxs to local time, I would expect with only 2 changes on the 1st and last day that you would change to Alaska time for the ports of call.

wolfie11 Posted May 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I can't even imagine the chaos if they didn't. I know! Let's just use Greenwich Mean Time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur, but I have read multiple examples of Carnival ships staying on ship's time. When I worked it was unheard of for the ship not to arrive with ship's time being on local time. If the Navigator screwed up and got it wrong, the Master would have reamed out the Navigator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the passage from Japan to Alaska a few times. We changed an hour every day and we had two of the same day. For some reason Cunard changed at noon.

cruiseryyc Posted May 4, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2023 When you're onboard, just pay attention to the notices given out as to what time the ship's clocks are on and adjust your own devices accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
