larryvel Posted August 15, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I've noticed a mistake on either the itinerary or the shore excursion for this sailing. The itinerary states that the ship will be in San Francisco from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The shore excursion page on the website states that the only excursion is at 4:30 p.m. for 3 1/2 hours in San Francisco. How is this possible. I've tried NCL reservations, customer relations, help desk and no one seems to have an answer. Do any of you out there know the answer? Are we there until noon or midnight. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricron Posted August 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Check you time again. The "m" in am and pm is short for meridiem, the middle of the day. P stands for Post, after, A stands for Ante, before. Therefore 12 pm is midnight, 12 am is noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlmichelle Posted August 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Oh I HOPE you guys are right!! However, at best I'm afraid we still just have conflicting information. On the hopeful side, as larryvel said, the shorex order form for our sailing does indeed show a San Fran tour starting at 4:30 PM ....:D http://164.109.173.140/shorex/downloads/orderforms06/pac_sun_0924.pdf And this "official" government TIME website only confuses the issue....:confused: http://tf.nist.gov/general/misc.htm#Anchor-57026 But page 18 of this NCL doc showing military time clearly lists the Sun departing SF at 1200 (not 2400) hours....:( http://164.109.173.40/agents/downloads/prod_manuals/NCL_Alaska_06_07.pdf I'm trying to think positive though....if it's noon, sailing under the GG bridge will be pretty amazing! But if it's MIDNIGHT, we'll have an amazing day AND evening in The City!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted August 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Check you time again. The "m" in am and pm is short for meridiem, the middle of the day. P stands for Post, after, A stands for Ante, before.Therefore 12 pm is midnight, 12 am is noon. Except the convention is usually the opposite, presuamably on the basis that the hour after 12 noon (1201 to 1259 in 24-hour clock) is all after the middle of the day and therefore pm, and the hour after 12 midnight (0001 to 0059) is before the middle of the day and therefore am.

newlywedcruisers Posted August 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ok maybe on some crazy european clocks but once the Hour minute and second hand align on the 12 and it's dark outside you are looking at 12 AM. At least here in GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlywedcruisers Posted August 16, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2006 But seriously what is 12:05 in the afternoon? is that AM or PM? I guess that y'alls time changes from AM to PM @ 12:01? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_More_Often Posted August 16, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Gosh, to further muddy the waters, the Port of San Francisco's schedule has the Sun arriving from Astoria at 4:00 AM and departing at 11:59 AM. So, maybe that excursion starts at 4:30 AM. Follow this link to the Port of San Francisco to make sure I'm not out of my mind! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browniegirl Posted August 16, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2006 12:05 in the afternoon would be 12:05 pm, it goes from 12 am midnight to 11:59 am and then switches to 12:00 pm/noon and so on. Leah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlywedcruisers Posted August 16, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Somebody up there was saying 12 pm was midnight. I dunno, I'm banning myself from this thread to prohibit further confusion.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted August 16, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Somebody up there was saying 12 pm was midnight.And I think everyone else agrees the opposite ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted August 16, 2006 #17 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm 99.9% sure it goes this way: Midnight = 12am or 0000 The minute before midnight would be 11:59pm or 2359 The minute after midnight would be 12:01am or 0001 Noon = 12 pm or 1200 The minute before noon would be 11:59am or 1159 The minute after noon would be 12:01 pm or 1201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlywedcruisers Posted August 16, 2006 #18 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Right and thats how I see it too, but "electricron" seems to view time differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlmichelle Posted August 16, 2006 #19 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yes, there were actually a COUPLE of pretty definitive "midnites" at the very beginning of the thread. However, the tide seems to have turned since then. So it looks like we should have at LEAST 5 wonderful hours in San Francisco! BTW, I'm not sure how many of you besides larryvel are actually on our sailing, but please come on over and check in at our ROLL CALL.... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=338163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
