alyssa0922 Posted October 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Does princess go off the same time as Cozumel or is the ship time an hour earlier or later? Thank you? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted October 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Every Princess ship I have been on changes the ship's time to match local time, if that is you question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSN-Travelers Posted October 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Every Princess ship I have been on changes the ship's time to match local time, if that is you question. Just for future reference, Princess ships on the 7-day Mexican Riviera (Cabo, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta) itinerary do not have ship's time match local time while in Puerto Vallarta. For Vallarta, ship's time is one hour behind local time (and this may vary during DST change periods). Other than that, our experience aboard Princess matches yours.

eandj Posted October 7, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thank sknight, that is the info I was needing. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app If you are asking because you are booking some excursion, know that all the tour operators know when the ships arrive, disembark and leave the port. You don't have to worry about time or zones if booked with a reliable tour company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted October 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Does princess go off the same time as Cozumel or is the ship time an hour earlier or later? When I was on Carribbean, the ship stayed on eastern daylight time for the entire cruise, including cozumel.

eandj Posted October 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Seems to me we were told that yes, instead of going back and forth and confusing people more re time to back on the ship etc. when it was just one stop, the ship didn't tell us to turn our clocks one way or the other. Just stay on ship's time that day. There were signs when we disembarked to remind people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinLife Posted October 7, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I know some parts of central america (Roatan in particular) are on Central time, but do not use Daylight savings time, so clock adjustment partly depends on the time of year you visit.

Lovetocruiseprincess Posted October 7, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2014 When I was on Carribbean, the ship stayed on easterndaylight time for the entire cruise, including cozumel. I posted a picture of the patters here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=44013593&postcount=9 I think that may have been to confusing to some people & they've began changing the ship clocks for the 2 Mexican ports. If you look at a clock while on land it could lead to a serious miscalculation if you cut things that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a picture of the patters here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=44013593&postcount=9 9/25 cruise the CB changed to local time in Cozumel. For this and many other things, it is best to look in the Patter, look at the menu,or go with the flow for the information you seek when you are on the ship instead of trying to find out beforehand as things may change from now to then. I am amazed that before the Internets, one looked at a brochure, then got on the ship with only a smidgen of information, had a great time and found that everything when off without a hitch.

alyssa0922 Posted October 7, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thank you all for the info! Yes weedpindle, it is good to just go with the flow and enjoy your vacation, as we do, but sometimes when one is trying to coordinate times with multiple parties who are on the cruise and who are staying on the island it is necessary to know what time to go by.

It once again shows not to trust the pronouncements that are so common here ... like 'the ship always changes to local time'. Things change. Pronouncements, not so much.

I really don't pay that much attention to the time changes since it's been years that we've taken a full day tour anywhere but if we were I certainly would make sure I was synched with the ship time.
