Creator's Key Takeaways

what is ship time it's the time that the ship stays on based on the port that the cruise originated from and Port time is the local time of the country that you're visiting

if you abide by local time you could literally miss the ship when it leaves for the next port

I was in Grand Cayman and I literally had seven minutes to make it from the shopping center all the way through the terminal and onto the ship

the best advice I can give for you not to be a port Runner is to arrive at this on the ship probably about half a half hour or so before your ship takes off

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Arrive at the ship about half an hour before departure
โœ“Stay on ship time, not local time
โœ“Listen to crew reminders about time differences
โœ“Check the activity schedule for debark and return times
โœ“Watch the cruise line's TV channel for time listings
โœ“Look for clocks on the gangway or in the terminal
