Daylight Savings Time Official?

[mark290]

Everything I read states that Grand Cayman will adopt DST effective

3/13/16. Is that official? Anybody know what ship time will be for a RCCL cruise leaving from Florida after 3/13/16 but before 5/1/16 will be?

yes they will starting this year.

Not official. Yet.

 

The relevant bill is expected to be voted upon in the Legislative Assembly soon. Island time soon.

Local time doesn't matter to a cruiser...ship's time is the ONLY time you need to know!

It does if you are doing something local, that starts and ends based on local time.

Wait until closer to your cruise date and ask again, or Google 'current time in grand cayman' just before you leave to get a more definitive answer. It's really too soon to know if the DST thing will go through or not.

Hmmm, makes thing easier for our itinerary I guess, as we have three ports in a row on EST, and NCL uses local time as ship time, but I wonder if it change ships' arrival and departure times? I not sure if NCL took possible switch to DST into account when listing or time in port (8 am - 4 pm Wed March 16, 2016).
