snc_cam Posted October 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2014 In a few months I will be on a ship that ports (tenders) in Grand Cayman. The ship is supposed to arrive at 9:00am and leave at 5:00pm. Does anyone know if this is local time to GC or ET from where leave Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken076 Posted October 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It's normally Ship's time from the Port you boarded at. The ship's convention for time is usually noted in the FunTimes - you might look for recent Fun Times for recent sailings for your ship/itinerary. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 13, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ken, I agree with you and that is why I posted. I was on the Freedom last year where they changed the ship time to local time for Antigua and Tortola. So, I am wondering if they do the same for GC. Any thoughts on where I can find a fun times here? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.capitan Posted October 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Daylight Savings Time also might also be a factor since Grand Cayman doesn't observe. You can check the Grand Cayman Port site to see what time (local) they think the ship is arriving. http://www.caymanport.com/shipschedules.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted October 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I was in GC on 10/2/2014. We stayed on ship time which for us was central time as we were on the Magic out of Galveston. While there have been a few times we have had to change time on board it was always front page on the Fun Times and announced as well. I think once in Alaska there were signs by the elevator too.

snc_cam Posted October 13, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Andy, thanks... that is what I like about CC... didn't think to check port times. So I did. They have the Pride coming in at 1000 local which would be 1100 ET. So, either they have the wrong time there or Carnival does since in the itinerary, we are supposed to be at anchorage by 0900 ET. Springs, that is what I have found so far, they stay equal to CT. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the GC Port schedule, you can also check what time they actually arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken076 Posted October 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Ken, I agree with you and that is why I posted.

Any thoughts on where I can find a fun times here? Steve On the Carnival Board, do a SEARCH on something like ShipName Fun Times ItineraryName (i.e., Conquest Fun Times Eastern) and see what happens. First do search for THREADS, then POSTS. If you have a ship's excursion your concerned with, the Excursion times are adjusted to the ship's Arrival/Departure schedule "on the fly".
