Equinox out of Miami - Dumb Time question - Clocks?

[UmaDaughterOfUrsula]

Are there clocks by the gangway to remind us to change our watches before going into ports?

[scanditaly]

not a dumb question. There is usually a board with the all-aboard time, and the sail away time, and a clock as well. I have never seen a reference to the local time given, nor any advisories posted near the gangway about local time. Perhaps someone will post specifically of the Equinox.

The daily will tell you when to change your watch forward or backward and all aboard time will be based on ships time. There is a clock on the phone that will automatically update the time so you can check in the morning that your watch is correct.

I find this in other post:

There is a digital clock display at the bottom of the screen on one of the ship's TV channels showing current date and time. So you can just leave the TV on that channel when you want the time displayed. and also The time is on the phone in the room.

 

This can help to set your phone clock to ship clock

You will be advised of time differences--if any, destination port and date of port call can matter [and then, Equinox has multiple itineraries]--via the daily newsletter [Celebrity Today; time change information is always highlighted on page 1] which is delivered to your cabin during turn-down service by your stateroom steward each evening... During the same service, your steward will also likely enable a time change message on the screen of your in-cabin TV [lots of Celebrity cruises; I've never seen it to fail] that you will see immediately upon entering your room [the TV will be turned on]...

 

The time to change your watch or personal alarm clock [don't rely on your mobile phone; service is not always reliable/exacting in accordance with ship practice and can be expensive] is prior to retiring for the night... The clocks aboard ship and the time displayed on your in-cabin phone [which provides the capability to set a wake-up call] will be adjusted overnight...

 

As you disembark the ship there will be boards at the gangway that specify all aboard time for crew, all aboard time for guests, and departure/sail-away time... The times posted on those boards assume that you've made any adjustments to your watch in accordance with the prior evening's advisories...

 

During a week-long Western Caribbean cruise on Equinox last month [Key West, Puerto Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman] there were no time changes relative to Eastern Standard/Miami time... That said, your experiences--even if doing the same itinerary--may differ based upon when you are sailing...

I always take a picture of the back on board time from the daily newsletter on my phone (and/or my camera)(and the phone number of the port agent).
