We're sitting in the boarding area now. Group A02.  I guess that explains why. 

Catching our flight tomorrow to get on the same ship.  Bummed that the sail away may be rained out but hopefully things improve from there.

Lots of Stingray City tours but I'm looking for a tour that also includes a lunch at a beach. Any recommendations?

you are way over thinking this, the excursion companies know their time and ship time.   

Maybe but they want to book me on a morning excursion based on the port authority schedule.  Carnival says we won't be into port until 10am and I'll completely missed the tour.  So it seems a bit important.

In fact, most of them know exactly when the cruise ships will be in town and actually adjust their times accordingly. So it's possible that the 12:30-4:30 you see is being given on ship time specifically because they are aware of the time difference and are aware what time your ship will be in port.

 

But you won't know unless you contact them. If it is in fact 1:30-5:30, then that won't work.

I've attempted to reach out to the tour provider but its further complicated by the fact that the Cayman port authority is showing our ship in port 3-hours earlier (and leaving 3 hours earlier) than what my itinerary is advertising. They are confirming that their tour time works for me based on the port authority schedule but using what Carnival is advertising and the 1-hour difference it won't.  This is my first cruise so I don't know what source is more reliable of the two.  Any recommendations?  

That's due to Daylight Saving though, not time zones correct? 

So the the 12:30-4:30 would early be 1:30-5:30 ship time then?  Not going to work with a 6pm departure then.

Western Caribbean cruise on the Conquest the week of May 5th.  Itinerary has us at port in the Caymans  from 11am-6pm.  I'm looking at a Stringray/Snorkel afternoon excursion from 12:30-4:30pm.  I'm not sure what Carnival is advertising and what the Excursion website is advertising is necessarily the same time zone/daylight savings time.  How do I confirm this?
