Nieuw Statendam moored at the terminal in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The terminal building was spotlessly clean and bright. Security was within the terminal building and there was a shop selling alcohol after the security check. There was no further check when boarding the ship. And here is the location of the docked NSDM relative to the city.

I will do the 'housekeeping' of menus etc later, but we had a great day touring part of Tenerife arranged by @sailingdutchy Tony . We had a great day, a fine lunch and wonderful conversation. The guide whom Tony picked was absolutely top class. We visited Icod de los vinos and Garachico along the north coast. Our guide selected various plates for our lunch which we all shared, including bean soup, grilled cheese with sauces, berenjenas con miel ( deep fried sliced egg plant drizzled in local palm honey), and goat stew with canarias potatoes. The onboard entertainment tonight was a Flamenco group, who gave an above average, though unatmospheric, performance. Flamenco is not local to las Canarias but the tourists expect it! We have a late sailaway tonight at 11pm for the short trip to Gran Canaria.

Just back to confirm that the security photo does show when making a purchase in the shops.

I , also, am not sure. But, as a point of reference, friends recently completed a TA from Florida to Rotterdam and the first port of call in Europe (not Schengen area) was Ireland and they had to do face to face immigration control brfore being permitted to disembark.
