mook1525 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hello! I will be on Harmony of the Seas on 9/29 and will be visiting Roatan on 10/3. I was checking my itinerary and on Royal website we will be docking from 7AM - 4PM but on Roatan's official port schedule website our ship will be staying 8 AM - 5 PM. not sure what to believe/follow.. anyone experience this before? thanks!

twangster Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Listen to the cruise line, always. Keep in mind a 7AM arrival doesn't necessarily mean the ship will be secured to the pier and cleared by local immigration officials at 7AM.

twangster Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Royal ships tend to change time to match island time. Fewer missing passengers that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 For what it is worth, our cruise receipt for 8 Sept 19 cruise shows 8-5 for Roatan, and that is "ship time". Now the App may or may not have up-to-date information until you are on the ship (our phone still shows the ship going to St. Maarten). I heard a report about a schedule delay at Roatan recently that eventually became a cancelled port because of sea/wind conditions. However, that can occur at almost any port at any time. And as noted by @twangster , 8 AM arrival doesn't mean we will be cleared immediately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our 8 September itinerary, Cozumel is first and Costa Maya is last, as you have indicated in your mock booking. Costa Maya is also formal night has the ship departs at 3 PM. Also, Coco Cay is 8-5 instead of 7-5. In the big scheme of things, an hour here or there doesn't bother me, but I don't use 3rd party excursions where schedule changes could have significant impact.
