Daylight savings time

[threedjmay]

Our cruise starts on Saturday, Daylight Savings time springs forward an hour, do the ships also spring forward at that time?

 

It's at least a day at sea, but messes even more with knowing what time it is on the islands we visit.

Yes, they will observe DST.

Daylight Saving Time starts on March 10th, not February 10th.

[threedjmay]

Yes,  sorry, I didn't mean this Saturday,  just that it DST starts the day after cruise starts.

 

Ok, well I will just make sure our phones update to the updated ship time on March 10th.

That stinks! You lose an hour of cruising!

Not on Carnival, but we will be on an Oceania cruise that begins on the 9th.  We will lose an hour the first night.  Good thing that the next day is a sea day.

I have been on ships twice when DST occurred.  But both cruises were Mex Riv, and what with DST being different weeks in the US and in Mexico, and with time zone changes, all I did was carefully follow the directions in the Daily Events paper and the notes left on our bed regarding time changes.  No problem!

I am sailing on the Venezia in a few week. On dst day, the ship will be in St Lucia that does not have dst and is in the atlantic time zone. I wonder when the ship will change times

Atlantic Standard Time is the same as Eastern Daylight Time, so observing the US time change actually puts you in sync with local time in port.
