antsp Posted October 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Last April I did a Transatlantic cruise on the Crown Princess, Fort Lauderdale to Southampton, for 5 nights on the run Princess put the clocks back 1 hour and stole an hour from my beloved cruise, no amount of complaining at the pursers desk helped. Well 6 months later I’m getting my own back, I’m doing a cruise back to Fort Lauderdale so I will get my stolen 5 hours back, but here’s the clever bit, I’m starting in Barcelona so I’ll get 6 hours added on to my cruise. Haha Princess I win.......... is stealing 1 hour back from them worse than smuggling booze :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky TGO Posted October 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Use them wisely time is precious. You only got back what was taken from you. So I don’t think you stole anything. The hour you made up was the interest you lost on the 5...:):):) Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Agree. Princess "owes" me a Fort Lauderdale to LA Panama Canal cruise since they "stole" my hours when I went from the Pacific to the Caribbean. Entitled? You bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar1950 Posted October 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Will the airline taking you to Barcelona be taking six hours from you? They'll be even with her too since she got extra hours from the last trip going the other way. Guess everything will even out one way or another.......:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenswing Posted October 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Don't mention those six hours too loud, they might try to tack on an extra fee for you being on the ship longer.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I always enjoy moving the clock backwards but sometimes you have no choice but to go the other way. LOL. Have a great cruise. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I have to fly back, so I end up the same age. Thats why Im cruising part of the eay this time...you know it makes sense😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartgv Posted October 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2017 On a cruise from LA to South Pacific and back to LA, Princess saved us from losing Halloween Day! We crossed the international date line just before calling on the port of Apia in Samoa. Their date was Nov. 1, but the ship kept its ship date on Oct. 31! We crossed the IDL 4 times on that trip, so the time changes and dates got very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted October 21, 2017 #18 Share Posted October 21, 2017 You're actually be "getting" 7 hours back. We have 7 times changes this TA, as we arrive in Port Everglades the day after the USA "fall back" time change. So really, you're ahead of the game with a whole extra hour in there after flight times, previous TA, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfinmagic Posted October 21, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 21, 2017 How about losing a whole day?? When we did the LA to Sydney we flew to LA, crossed the international dateline losing a day but gained it back on the way home. There were some folk from Europe who flew to LA east to west but were flying home west losing a whole day and never getting it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted October 21, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hate to see the OP's post if and when they cross the International Date Line :p We have done that a few times and on one crossing there was a passenger that missed her birthday!
