Does NCL change ship time to match port time?

[stacymills99]

Does anyone know if NCL will change the time on board to match Grand Cayman (we will be on the Jewel out of New Orleans) or will we be on different time zones for the day? I am trying to book a tour for that day outside the ship.

When are you traveling? It makes a difference, because Cayman doesn't do daylight savings time.

 

You might get a more specific answer in the NCL forum, but anytime we've done a cruise with them they stayed on departure port time. We've never done that ship out of that port, though...

Hard to say. We've done ships that would switch the clocks to local time and announce it in the daily newsletter, and we've done ships that stay on the time zone they depart from. Key is to watch, listen and pay attention onboard the night before.

 

As far as the tours go, they are used to working with ships. Let them know what time your itinerary says you are arriving and they will probably be able to tell you what time you will actually be meeting them on the island.

I would post this on the NCL Cruise Line Board.

On all of our NCL cruises, the ships changed time to match the port.
