Haven't been to Mexico in a while...

And from Mitsugirly's review of Almaplena, we're booked for our August cruise. Can't wait! But, it's been a few years since we've cruised the Western side of the Caribbean and was wondering what the difference is between local and Ship's time. We're sailing with Carnival out of Port Canaveral, so, I'm thinking the ship will stay on Eastern Time...pretty sure Costa Maya is on Central...which is inconvenient since our ship docks at 0700 SHIP's time and Almaplena doesn't open til 0800 MEXICO time....

thoughts? Should we cancel and spend the day walking around? Or is Almaplena that good, go for a few hours and be pampered?

Thanks,

Costa May is on EST time year round.

Costa May is on EST time year round.

Eastern Standard time is the same as Central Daylight savings time.

Thanks all! Looks like Almaplena for us!

I hope you have a wonderful time there at Almaplena. It was beautiful when we were there.

BTW...never just spend the day walking around...if that's the case, you need to head over to Blue Kay. ;) :) (If you haven't already seen that review, you should check it out for your next visit to Costa Maya). :p
