Is Regal still using Tenders in Sockholm

I heard that they now have a retractable pier but my personalizer still says they use tenders. Has anyone been there in the past few weeks?

I was there in May. We used both. We exited in the morning via the pier, but had to return via tender. The reason is because one of the moorings broke, which prevented the Regal from being able to dock at the pier. So, the pier retracted back, and we got back on via tender.

As far as I understand, this is atypical. It was expected that people would be able to re-embark via the pier as well. Not having read anything about using a tender in Nynashamn lately, I assume all has been fixed, but thought I would mention my experience just in case something happens during your trip.

It depends on the weather the day you are there. We had to use the tenders earlier this month

They used tenders mid August. I think the water has to be flat with no waves predicted for them to use the floating dock. It certainly adds to the already long trip into Stockholm.

Used the retractable dock at Nynashamn on Aug 27. That evening an MDR server mentioned that tenders had been used frequently this season (he said "first time this year using the dock" but that seemed incorrect based on reports from others on this board).

I think that was correct, hadn't used it all summer and certainly not on our August stop.
