mook1525 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 hello! while I was reviewing my itinerary on my invoice I saw we will be in Roatan from 7 AM - 4 PM which isn't too bad. but then I remembered they are in different time zone and indeed they are -2 hours from ship time - I guess Eastern time zone since we are leaving from Port. Canaveral?? Does that mean we will be in Roatan from 5 AM - 2PM ????????? now I am very confused.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeWhoWaits Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 With limited exceptions, your ship time will adjust to the local time. As you move from Eastern Time to Central Time, the ship's clocks will adjust at a specified time during the night. Your stop at Roatan will be 7-4 local time.

The ship will continue to adjust ship time to match local time zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Landry Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 We were just on Symphony last week. The time never changed and the ports all stayed on ship time which was eastern. Even when we got to Mexico we stayed on ship time. It’s mentioned a lot so you don’t forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjac Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Just check your daily Cruise Compass. It will let you know what time zone you will be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Most Caribbean nations do not observe daylight savings time. The US East coast does. The result is an answer of... it depends on when is your cruise? During DST or not? Not all ships change time. It's at the discretion of the Captain and Cruise Director. Most seem to though. timeanddate.com will display the time zone and time for any location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is likely the ship will change time as it sails towards Roatán. If you will be communicating with friends and family on the east coast they will be two hours ahead while you are in Roatán.

packercruising Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 When we were on Harvest Caye, with NCL, their time was a 1 hr difference from ship time. It was very confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
