dianel720 Posted April 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Can someone please tell me the difference between St. Thomas local time and ship time? I thought I read somewhere there was a difference but I can't find any information on it. I have a sail/snorkel tour booked for 12:30 PM St Thomas local time, so I'm wondering if that is the same as ship time or earlier/later. Thanks!

jdbmga Posted April 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2011 It would help to know which port you are sailing from and what time of year you are sailing. This time of year St. Thomas is the same time as the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdbmga Posted April 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2011 This time of year Miami and St. Thomas are the same time, no time difference. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie51 Posted April 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I was in St Thomas in October and there was a one hour time difference from the east coast. I don't know when it changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser110 Posted April 28, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I was in St Thomas in October and there was a one hour time difference from the east coast. I don't know when it changes. The time changes with Daylight Savings Time. When the US drops back an hour in the Fall, St.Thomas stays on AST ( Atlantic Standard Time) and is one hour ahead. When we spring ahead an hour in the Spring we are again on AST along with the rest of the USVI. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
