DW and I have been on many, many cruises before, but only on RCCL, Celebrity, and Princess (once; this was our first one a long time ago, so memory is a bit fuzzy on the Princess one). We have our first DCL cruise in a couple weeks. While doing some research, I saw references to changing time while on board. Is this right? On all of our other cruises, we stayed on "ship time" the whole time. In other words, we did not change our time regardless of the local time. This to me makes a lot more sense, as why mess around with people's internal clocks twice in a week?
So, is this indeed true, and can someone offer a rational reason as to why this is a good thing? The only thing I can think of is that it alleviates the "problem" of people not making it back to the ship on time while on shore because they look at local clocks. But that "benefit" does not come close to outweighing the negatives associated with two time changes in a week's period.
