Time Zone Change

[BarbSutto]

I know the ship will change time zones and they notify you. Does any one know if your iPhone automatically will change time like it does on land or it will not due to being on airplane mode?

Phones will not automatically change time zone while at sea, even if they are NOT in airplane mode. The Cellular At Sea system does not offer "time service," so it does not broadcast the current time to phones. When you pull into port or are otherwise close enough to a land-based cellular system, your phone would then change time, assuming that that system has time service (which most do).

Ok thank you for the info! I kind of thought maybe it wouldn’t, but wanted to double check.

If you have a fitbit, they will not change either.

I never was able to figure out how to change the time on my fitbit last time I cruised with it.

Really gets confusing this weekend when you got both time zone changes and daylight savings time change on the same cruise.
