akwilson12 Posted March 18, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm a newbie to the boards. My family and I are sailing on Solstice on April 12th. I'm attempting to book an excursion outside of the cruise line and want to ensure that I allow enough time to get back to the ship on time since we are only in port until 1:00 p.m. Does anyone know what time zone the ship observes in Tortola since the US has changed over to DST? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted March 18, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2009 when I was there the ship was on island time. makes it easier. By april most of the world has changed times. we are just to early in America. I am sure it will be then too. right now it is 2 hours ahead. all the local tour operators know when the ship leaves.

akwilson12 Posted March 18, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks ellbon for the reply.. I called Celebrity twice today so that I could speak to 2 different people and they both told me that the ship would observe local port times, so I booked our dolphin swim for the earliest time available at 10:00 am; therefore, we should have plenty of time to get back to the ship before 1:00. Can't wait..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted March 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2009 If you can go to Sunny carribbee first for yuor spices. they open at 9 am. alos Pussers store or bar. Only been to Tortola twice and i love both places. One problem with RCI they do not use local port time. makes me nuts.. much rather use locla time than think on holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
