Ship Time of AOS

[lauren0309]

When the ship leaves out of Puerto Rico, do we set our watches one hour later for the whole cruise? I don't want to be late for any of the excursions I have booked.

Just found the answer to my question. All the islands are the same time as ship time. One hour ahead of us here in New York. I'll set my watch when we land in Puerto Rico and keep it that way the whole time.

They will imform you of any time changes. Always keep your watch set to "ship's time", so you won't risk missing the ship at any port!

San Juan and all of Adventure's ports of call are in the Atlantic time zone. There are no time changes. When the U.S. mainland is on standard time the Atlantic zone is one hour ahead of the east coast. When the mainland is on daylight savings time Puerto Rico and the islands are the same time as the east coast as they do not observe daylight savings time.
