Good idea. I've never rented a cart or scooter, but we were looking at doing this when we go back to Bimini, and I will definitely be cognizant of any damages beforehand. Thanks for the feedback.
when I leave the ship, I start a countdown timer on my phone with how many hours I have before I'm due back. That way don't care what time says, or changes, etc. my timer tells me
Oh that's a good idea and that keeps you from constantly checking your phone. You can just be in the moment till that alarm goes off telling you it's time to go back. Love it.
There is no such thing as ship time. The ship’s time is the local port time. Regardless whether you are in Bali or the Bahamas, the ship is married to the local time. When you have an iPhone, it automatically sinks forward or back dependent on your GPS location. Having taken 17 cruises all over the world on 4 lines, i Have never had an issue with my phone not matching the local time. Be sure your phone is set to follow GPS location. Android or iPhone it’s all the same. It automatically syncs to the ships time which is the local time in Port. That is why they give you notification papers about moving the clock forward or back in your state room as appropriate. In addition, the captain usually usually makes a brief daily at around noon and states that we will be moving the clocks forward or back tonight to correspond with the local latitude. Joining a Facebook group is not a good idea. You’re giving your personal information to all those strangers you don’t know anything about who can look through your entire profile, bad idea. Using Google or RU-vid you can watch plenty of videos to get what you need to know about that ship.
Thank you for your feedback. Some people forget to sync their phone up to the ship's time from the port they came from. I referred to it as ship's time because this is what the cruise line refers to it as and will tell you to be back by ship time. Roatan is one place that is a little different with the time as well. So, basically I was just stating that make sure the clock on your phone or watch is the same time that the ship has and not the local time. The ship time does not always match local time. You don't have to give personal information on a Facebook group. You can join without giving personal information and you can set your personal Facebook page to private and people in the group cannot view anything that is not private, but to each their own. Yes, I always recommend reviewing ships on RU-vid there is a lot of great information to be found on RU-vid to get you ready for your cruise. Thank you for your feedback.
@@Retiredtraveler1961 Phones don't always sync to the local time when they should. It depends on the Sim package you've got and the phones time settings. It may not update until you're on land or up on deck. I've fallen foul to this a few times and missed breakfast in the restaurant and had to use the buffet.
