I thought it was nerve wracking. I wanted an excursion in St Martin, but if the ship didn't change time, it would leave before we got there. The operator didn't know since it was a one off cruise and the ship wasn't sure what the captain was going to do. The captain did decide to switch 1 hour, so the ship time was neither the home port time nor St Martin time. Once the ship did switch 1 hour there would be barely enough time for me to make the tour and when we arrived early in St Martin there was plenty of time. I think we arrived early, anyway, and I hustled to the marina where the tour left from.
