AOS new departure time

[premiumrican]

I have been on the AOS twice and departure time was always 10:00 PM, I noticed the AOS is now departing at 8:30 from SJU. Does any one know the reason for the earlier departure?

AOS has started leaving Aruba at 8:30 pm as well (compared to 1 am before).

 

I wonder if it has something to do with fuel prices - the earlier they leave, the slower the boat can travel?

 

I am sure it has to do with $$$$, doesn't everything?

gee.

we were on aos end of april. departure was at 10pm.

good thing. rci air sea got on the ship at 8:05. 10 min before muster. now what. next cruise we did an arrival night before and hotel.

there is no way to get to sju earlier from denver. already a full day of flying.

We were on this sailing a few weeks ago. I believe someone asked the captain why we were leaving early. He told us it was to have efficient use of the fuel or something. Not sure if that is the real reason, but it was better than nothing.
