Ship time vs Cozumel time (Excursion)

[strachan01]

Hello,

 

I know this may seem a silly question but hopefully someone will be able to answer it!

 

Me and my better half are booked to do an independent Catamaran excursion when we are on Allure in April. The excursion starts at 9.30AM local time, however i've read that the difference between ship and port time is sometimes 1 hr and sometimes 2 hrs. does anyone know what time our ship would be on when we dock on 8th April? I assume the difference between 1 and 2 hour time difference is due to daylight savings?

 

Thanks

Only the captain will know. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/mexico/cozumel Ship probably be an DST. Edited January 10, 2016 by FLACRUISER99

Whether the ship changes to local time or not is up to the captain. You won't know until it is posted in the Compass if the ship will change to local time a day or so before the port.

Hi,

 

Cozumel and Florida time are the same...right now...Jan 10,2016

EST.

 

Cozumel never observes Daylight Savings time.

 

Assuming you are cruising from Port Everglades in April.

 

So, in April the US "will be" on Daylight Savings Time (starts March 13th)

...and Cozumel will not be.

 

So, in April, Cozumel will be one (1) hour behind Florida time.

 

Whether your captain switches the clocks back for a one week western

cruise....You will be notified in the daily compass.

Your pre-cruise itinerary shows the arrival and departure schedule in local time.

You will go by SHIP'S TIME...what local time is doesn't matter...ignore it. Your guide will understand how this time thing works.

 

Whatever time the ship's clocks say, is the time it is. It's the ONLY thing you need to worry about.

Thanks for the responses, I usually always go by ships time, however this year we have booked 2 independent excursions which state they begin at 9:30 AM local time for Cozumel and 10:00 AM local time for Grand Cayman.

 

Just wasn't sure how much of a difference these would be against ships time.

 

Thanks

Be aware that if your ship docks at the International pier, traffic is practically gridlocked heading back to the port after your excursion. Allow plenty of time.

I know you are going to get a bunch of conflicting answers. My advise is make sure the tour operator knows which ship you are on. They will know when it arrives, when it leaves and where it docks. Their word of mouth reputation depends on getting people on time.
