Noordam "ship time?"

[pjamk]

Does the captain stay on sailing port time? or does he change it as the ship travels into different time zones in destination ports?

99% of the time you will adjust clocks to local port time. There will be a notecard on your pillow with a piece of chocolate letting you know when clocks go back or forward. There will also be something in the daily program.

In the Caribbean the ships we have been on have always changed the clocks to agree with the port time.

 

A couple of places on the west coast when we do the Mexican Riviera, the ship did not change the clocks.

KK is correct. There was one port in Mexico (don't remember which one) where we didn't change.

Puerto Vallarta, because the time zone line is only a mile or two from the pier and excursions take place in both time zones.

We have been on HAL, Carnival and RCL. The OOsterdam is the only ship that we have been on that changed time. It seems to vary, even within the cruise lines. Wondering if anyone has done the Southern Car. itinerary on the Noordam and what their experience was.

The OOsterdam is the only ship that we have been on that changed time.

I've been on 11 of the current HAL ships, (and two previous ones), on many and varied itineraries.

All of them have changed time when changing time zones.
