No, they are 2 separate areas and you can not go on the AI side if you are not part of that package.

Thanks. Do you know of any all beaches where this could work?

Also - our ship time in Cozumel is 11-8 ship time coming from Tampa. Do you think Mr Sanchos would be worth it if apparently we'd only be there from approx noon to 5?

My wife is pregnant and i want to do the all inclusive and her do a LA carte. Is there any scenario where that would work? Could we both stay on the AI side and she just go buy food when she wants it on the other side? Thanks

That is mostly correct, except Grand Cayman does not use daylight time - it is in the same time zone as Cozumel (Eastern Standard Time). In April, those two ports will be 1 hour earlier than Miami. Roatán and Belize are on Central Standard Time and will be 2 hours earlier than Miami time.

I thought Cozumel is Central? That's what it says when I google it.

Just make sure to bring a watch that keeps ship time!! Don't worry about the island times!!! JUST KEEP SHIP TIME!!

Thanks, will do.

One more question.

When do we pick our evening dining choice? We were never given the option on Expedia.

Carnival ships stay on Miami time in the Caribbean.

Thank you! So that means that we'll be at Grand Cayman at 7am their time and Cozumel 10am their time.

Hi all! First time Carnival cruiser here, my wife and I are going to celebrate our first anniversary in mid September on the Carnival Paradise.

We are very confused by the times given for arrival/departure.

Grand Cayman - Arrival 8am - departure 3pm

Cozumel - Arrival 11 am - departure 8pm

What time zones are these times? We leave Tampa Florida at 4pm, so I am assuming eastern, but I wanted to be sure before we book an excursion. Thank you!
