Ship time in St. Kitts

[asmith19]

Does anyone know if the ship time in St. Kitts is AST or EST? The Silhouette is scheduled to dock at 10 am but I have a tour I want to take that starts at 10:45 am AST. Can I make it, or will I already be late once we dock (assuming we are on time?)

All of the eastern and southern Caribbean ports, including St. Kitts are AST (Atlantic Standard Time).

 

Celebrity ships to this area have always, in my experience, changed their ship time to AST after leaving Florida during time periods when Florida is on Standard Time - but confirm this once on board. When Florida is on daylight savings time (after March 13 in 2016) there is no time difference at all between Floridia's EDST (Eastern Daylight Savings Time and AST - the islands do not do daylight savings time).

 

If you are by chance sailing from San Juan Puerto Rico you are already on AST so there will be no time change.

We were on the Silhouette in early December. We moved our clocks up one hour the first night and set them back an hour the night before the last sea day. So ship time was the same as island time in St Kitts (and the other islands).
