Conquest itinerary and timezones

[islasisterchick]

For anyone who has sailed the Conquest out of Galveston before: are the times shown on the itinerary ship times or land times? I am having problems with shore excursions because Jamaica and GC are one hour ahead of Texas. Does the ship change to EST while we are in Jamaica and GC or stay on CST? Our excursion people in Jamaica are acting like our ship docks at 9am Jamaica time. Anyone know?? Thanks

Last week the Conquest did not change time. Local time in Montego Bay and Grand Cayman were one hour ahead of ship time.

 

Times posted in the itinerary are ship time, not local time.

 

When do you sail? Jamaica and the Cayman Islands do not observe daylight saving time so once the USA changes time in early March ship time and local time will be the same in MoBay and GC but will be one hour ahead of Cozumel until Mexico changes time at the end of March.

When we went back in December they did not change times. So our 8:40 excursion was actually 7:40 local time. We missed it completely. If it is an early excursion be one of the first ones in line to tender off the ship. Better to be early than late.
