Rhapsody Time Change question?

[wwicklund]

I have read and have been told that some ships keep the same time even if they go across a time zone. What does the Rhapsody do? If the Port time says 3pm to 1159pm in Key West, what time zone is this according to? the local time or the ship time, or will the ship time be the local time?

 

Thanks

During Spring Break....05....this is how RCI handled Key West.

Don't change your watch! Key West is one hour ahead of ship's time, but you should be back at the ship no later than 11:30 pm ship time.

 

****************************************

Be especially mindful of the time situation, if you have booked independent tours. They will be on "port time"...which may not be ship time.

Grand Cayman, also:

Please leave your watches on ship's time for Grand Cayman. The advertised departure time shown on the notice board at the gangway is ship's time and not local time.

Sounds good, we are booking our own excursions in GC, and renting a car. So I will plan the time accordingly. Is it only an hour dfference in GC?

[Boo's Mom]

I do believe it is one hour.

 

Not 100% though....

 

and not sure if it was behind or forward.

 

I think Cayman is behind. :rolleyes:

[wwicklund]

So, we arrive at 700 ship time, what time is it in GC?

[Boo's Mom]

Not sure.

Don't want to give you the wrong information.

My DH is sitting here...trying to figure it out with his Altas. :eek:

 

We think....that Grand Cayman is 1 hour ahead of the time on the ship.

 

Yeah...that's our vote. :D
