Cruise Critic Countdown Clock

[denmarks]

Since the  Cruise Critic Countdown Clock only asks for a date when setting it up what is the time that is it based on? It seems to be 5 PM but if they are taking into consideration savings time then it is probably 4 PM. At this time it indicates 206 1 42 27 for time left and it is 3:18 PM where I live. Princess indicates 207 days. What time is it based on? What is correct. Cruise on 12/3. Ignoring the time it is 207 days.

Why is it important to get the exact hour?  A day one way or the other matters?  It's just a fun way to keep track of the time.

 

The only "important" countdown would be the one that your cruiseline keeps.  That affects when you can check in, print documents, and do other important things.

I was a programmer and am interested in the math behind the counters.

Why is it important to know what's important to someone else?

 

Is the link to the countdown clock creation still around?

I think the math is fairly simple once the times are converted to UTC.
