leroyf16 Posted December 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2016 First time doing this, have read a lot of post and love all the information I have received on Cruise Critic. My questions is this. I have went to some of the ship port cites and found listings of all the ships in port that day with the times listed for each ship. Are the times listed on the port site island time or ship time? Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2016 It varies a little by cruise line, so you should ask on the board for the cruise line involved. However, most cruise lines match local port time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may or may not be the same as ship's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2016 They will tell you if the time changes....take note of the clocks at the exits on the ship...make sure your WATCH is set to the same time as the ship's clocks! So easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted December 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Ordinarily, if the itinerary has several port calls in the same time zone (say the Eastern Caribbean - Atlantic Time) the ship will change to local time from its embarkation port. If there is just one port in a different time zone - say Cozumel after a ship sailed from Tampa, with perhaps a Key West call, the ship is likely to stay on Eastern Standard/Daylight time. In any event, you will be advised of "ship's time" at every port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted December 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Carnival is the only line I have sailed that does not change ship time to port time (if they are different). EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance!! The times on the port's web sites are ALWAYS island or port time. Ship time may be the same time, but it all depends on if you switch time zones, or if your ship changes time to match local time. It is different on every line, and sometimes it is different on different ships in the same line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
