Time on the Ship

[allzi]

Just wanted to know what the difference is between Ship time and Shore time! I have a shore excursion that told me 10:00 am Shore time, not ship time

Thanks for any help

They could be the same or they could be different. It depends on the time of the year and, of course, the ship.

If you are in a different time zone it could be different. If you book the excursion through the ship don't worry. If you booked this off the ship they normially know when they dock.

i think very few itineraries change ship's time.

 

if you are venturing into a diff time zone, confirm ship's time with the purser's desk or CD at the excursion talks prior to arriving in port.

Carnival Liberty, on the 6-day western changed ship's time to island time and then back on last sea day. Islands did not use daylight savings time while the ship did.

 

For 2008, if you're cruising between March 9 and November 2, you should just pay attention to ship's CD and Carnival Capers to be sure.
