abitaturbodog Posted January 7, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Here are the daily schedules for the Mediterranea cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios and Grand Turk. I'm missing the 6th day, but will look at home for it... At the end, I've attached the Squok Club Schedule for 7-11 year olds as well as the kids menu in the dining room CLICK HERE TO VIEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diathoney Posted January 7, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Reading the Today, it looks like the life boat drill is on the second day (first full day) instead of before sailing? Or is this a second drill? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this a second drill? Thanks! Ours (Christmas week) was just prior to sail away on embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abitaturbodog Posted January 7, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 7, 2008 We were actually scheduled to leave the port at 7pm so our lifeboat drill was the following day at 10am. Eating dinner in the dining room while still in port was a little different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diathoney Posted January 9, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I see that there are time change notices in several of the Today newspapers. Does Costa change the ship's time to match the local time? Does that mean that the itinerary 8am - 5PM is really the local 8am - 5PM? On Carnival (and Disney) we always stayed on "ship's time" which equaled the home FL Port time (EST for us). When we got to the excursion ports, the local time was behind ship's time (Atlantic or other) which made a watch imperative so we could be back at the ship on time. I remember doing a similar time change on some of our earlier cruises (1980s), but not recently. Am I interpreting the Today time notices correctly? We're booking excursions outside of Costa, so I want to give the tour companies the correct arrival and departure information. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to write this detail in my review, but forgot! At midnight before we docked in Cozumel, we all had to set our clocks one hour forward. Then had to change them one hour back at midnight upon leaving Coz. On all of the cruises I've been on, we've just kept our watches on ships time, but on the Med. we had to change our watches. It wasn't a big deal, but I would think that if you had non-ship excursions, you'd want to make sure that you meeting at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid we'd be pushing it for the 6PM excursion we want to do in Puerto Rico if we docked at 5PM EST. If we're actually docking at 5PM PR time, we'll be fine! Yeah!

The tours offered by Disney are really expensive - plus it's so crowded. I was very happy to find this company on the cc boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
