Nay Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Is the ship time for embarkation and debarkation the same time as the port that it's at or is the ship time a different time? Leaving out of San Juan on Freedom of the Seas in February So I guess what I'm asking is the time to embark, be San Juan Puerto Rico time zone?

Atlantic Time Zone = San Juan Time = Ship Time = Port Time, which just happens to also be my favourite time ... MIMOSA TIME !!

whenismynextcruise Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 While on the trip you are always on ship time. Land or sea. Ship time. I said it twice because it is so important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brobbins246 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Just watch for any independent shore excursions you might book in advance with meet up times to find the tour operator. If you're at a port with a different local time than ship time, the excursion operator will probably give all your meeting instructions in local time and you'll need to keep that straight.

twangster Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Correct - ships and schedules are based on local time for the embarkation port. In San Juan they are in the Atlantic time zone and don’t observe daylight savings time changes. BTW - airlines do the same. All flight times landing or taking off are based on local time. If your San Juan flight says it lands at 9am that’s 9am San Juan time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
