Cachecruiser Posted February 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Hello, we will cruise on the Freedom of the Seas, departing from Port Canaveral, with a stop in Cozumel, scheduled by RCCL from 10 am - 7 pm. We would like to book an excursion and are not sure if we have to consider different times (ship vs. local time). Our preferred excursion starts at 9:45 am, but the schedule says 10 am arrival. Does this mean 8 am local time? Many thanks in advance. Edited February 16, 2014 by Cachecruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It appears that you are cruising in November after daylight savings time ends (Mexico and the US adjust on different dates), so your ship-time should be an hour ahead of local Coz time.

Cachecruiser Posted February 17, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok, does this mean it's possible to book an excursion starting at 9:45 am? Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Your 10:00 AM ship time arrival will be 9:00 AM Coz time, so you should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bases5 Posted February 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The thing you need to find out on the RCCI board is does The freedom change time or not. Example: Princess changes time the night before arriving. Carnival does not and stays on ship time, Or embarkation time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 19, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2014 RCI has never changed time on my cruises. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted February 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2014 We've been on Princess cruises that have changed time for Cozumel and other ones that have not. The best place to get your answer is on each cruise line's specific board--and even then you're not guaranteed to get the right answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Randy Posted February 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hello, we will cruise on the Freedom of the Seas, departing from Port Canaveral, with a stop in Cozumel, scheduled by RCCL from 10 am - 7 pm.

I would contact the excursion company and let them know the ship and date you will be there and let them tell you if they have an excursion that will work for you. They do these excursions all the time and are aware of when the ship docks and when you will be able to get off the ship and meet up with them.
