gritsnc Posted March 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2016 We have a tour scheduled and it says: "Plan to check in 15mins before departure time. You are booked on our 11.15am island time tour." That means we need to be there at 10:15 SHIP TIME, correct? We should always keep our watches set to ship time, right? It's a 3 hour tour (Stingray City with Moby Dick Tours). Will we have time to do something afterwards? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted March 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) as I type the time in Miami/Melbourne FL/Cape Canaveral is 12:18 PM the time in Georgetown is 11:18 AM remember, in Miami we moved our clocks forward one hour for DST, Cayman did not so Cayman appears to us as if they were in the Central Time Zone http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/uk/georgetown Edited March 19, 2016 by Capt_BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantfan13 Posted March 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The ship's time is set at the3 departure port. If you leave from Miami and they are on DST, Cayman will be one hour ahead. The ship's time is constant and remember that when you are returning to the tender. Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohb Posted October 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I haven't tendered in years. We are also doing MobyDick. Ship's arrival is scheduled for 7am. Info says 'arrive at kiosk at 9:15'. Would that be 1 1/4 hours after ship's arrival time? (or 2 1/4 hours?). Not sure about time difference between ship & Grand Cayman. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew sailbum Posted October 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The ship's time is set at the3 departure port. If you leave from Miami and they are on DST, Cayman will be one hour ahead. The ship's time is constant and remember that when you are returning to the tender. Cheers Len This is NOT correct. Cayman does not observe DST. The US east coast ports do. So when it is 11:15am island time it will be 12:15pm ship time. Cayman is one hour behind ship time in this case. Definitely not ahead. It is correct that generally ships do not change the ships clock throughout the cruise, at least for Caribbean cruises. So if they say the last tender is 5pm ship's time that would be 4pm Cayman time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
