Quick question...."back on ship" time

[Bo59rt]

tried to search for this but it kept taking me to reviews. Getting married while at St. Thomas, wedding planner wants to know if Carnival's rule of thumb is back on ship an hour or half an hour before ship is set to leave. I for the life of me can not remember! She wants us back a half an hour before our "back on ship" time.

Anyone know if it is always half an hour before or an hour before??

It's half an hour. Just got back from Liberty. If we were set to sail at 5:30, we were supposed to be back on board by 5:00

Make sure the planner realizes that "ship's time" and local time may not be the same. If they are needing to know if its an hour or half hour and when you get there and ship's time is an hour off from local time... well you get the idea...

Thanks! I was leaning towards a half and hour.... and for the whole ship/shore time.... St. Thomas reverts back to the same time as eastern time in late march, Which works for me they will be the same.
