Sometimes, cruising can be made easier or more difficult when you are sailing across several time zones. I know the Queen Mary 2 transatlantic was easier sailing from London to NY because we were moving from east to west. Almost every evening, we got an EXTRA hour of sleep due to the time change.
On the cruise in December, the good news is we should only have to change our watches once after leaving the US when we arrive at the final destination in Nuremberg. All the cities we will visit on the cruise are in the same time zone. This also makes it easier once you change your watch -- and hopefully it will assure you don't miss a sailing time because you messed up which time zone you thought it was versus the actual time zone!
Of course, if we fly back home from London, we need to be aware of the changes -- but it will be in our favor (our watches will be set one hour ahead of the actual time in London). In any case, I do have the buddy passes just in case we miss any flight.
