Rare llarsen Posted March 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hello, We will be taking 5 Day cruise in April, departing from Miami. We go to Nassau, Half Moon and Grand Turk. Wondering if the ship stays on East Coast time zone the entire time? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Yes. In fact, Carnival does not change clocks at all when staying in the Caribbean. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keys2Heaven Posted March 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2019 When in doubt, stay on ship time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted March 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The ship, in 99% of the circumstances will remain on the same time zone as its home port for the duration of the cruise. In the case of the OP's question, all of those ports are eastern time zone as well, so no changes needed. One thing to check is whether your port observes Daylight Saving Time- that can make a difference. For example, we're going in June to Cozumel among other ports, leaving from Galveston which is Central Time Zone. Cozumel is Eastern time zone but doesn't observe DST, so before March and after November would be an hour earlier for our cruise. This time of year? No difference from Galveston's (and ship time's) time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcgary Posted April 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2019 You just need to be careful as a smart watch or phone may change without you realizing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabalon Posted April 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Before you leave your home port, find the setting on your phone that sets the time automatically (Settings|General|Date & Time|Set Automatically on the iPhone) and disable that. Had that one try and bite me in Roatan or Belize. Fun panic! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
