Reflection - St. Thomas - ship time or local?

[mizLORInj]

Hi all.  Booking Reflection in February and the St. Thomas daysail owner is asking if we dock at 11am local or ship time.  Anyone know?

In St Thomas today on Reflection and we are on local time.   Celebrity, almost always, switches to local time when visiting a port. I can recall only one instance in 16 years of cruising where the Celebrity Captain maintained ship time.

ok, thanks.   Good to know.

Been there many times on different cruise lines, and whether they adjusted varied.    

ENJOY!

@mizLORInj My only comment is that any local excursion tour operator who works with cruise passengers weekly would not need to ask you this question.  They should know better than you. It is how they make a living.  Are they new?

Hi.  No, not new.  Have sailed with this person every time in St. Thomas for probably 15 years.

I have been on cruises (various lines so I don't know which) where we stayed on ship time.  I remember that doing that created confusion while we were in port!   

 

I so very much look forward to sailing there again soon!
