crazycruzer68 Posted September 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2018 We are sailing southern Caribbean the week that the time changes. Is anyone familiar with how that Would effect our stops, we aren’t in Aruba until 1pm so I hope it won’t get dark too early there.

Rare crewsweeper Posted September 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Aruba, Grand Turk, Dominican Republic and Curacao do NOT observe Daylight Savings Time. Thus when the time changes back to Eastern Standard, the Carnival ship time will also change. If you are on board on Saturday night/Sunday AM, the time on ship will change then. On a southern cruise that's a sea day. During DST, the time in these ports and ship time is the same. GMT-4 If you are embarking on the Sunday that the ship changes time. the change will be to GMT -5 and you will be 1 hour behind the local time for these ports. Thus, ship time of Noon is 1PM local.

d12j28 Posted September 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You'll be on ship time. I don't believe Aruba does daylight savings so that would put them an hour ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted September 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You don't need to be concerned about what time it is on shore. Ship time is all that matters - just keep your time in sync with the ship. All the tour operators know all about the ship, so you won't be in any danger of missing a tour.

Rare Essiesmom Posted September 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The ABC islands are far enough south that hours of daylight and darkness do not vary much throughout the year. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
