Edinburgh July 27,28 -docked or tendered?

[almostnewtocruise]

Again I need some help from Andy or Bill.. or just anyone "in the know".. (maybe somebody on the ship reads this??)

We'll be on a Journey cruise that starts in Amsterdam on July 17 2012 and ends in Leith (Edinburgh) on the 28th - after an overnight in this port.

In the itinerary for this cruise Edinburgh is mentioned as a "docked" port - which of course makes completely sense, as you wouldn't expect to be tendered in such a big port.. especially if you're going to have people embarking and disembarking there!

BUT..

In the shore excursion brochure for this cruise you can find under Leith this strange line:

Edinburgh (Leith),Scotland

27-Jul-2012

Your ship will anchor in Leith and use tenders to transport guests ashore.

 

My guess is that the brochure is wrong .. But it would be nice to know for sure!

TIA

We tendered when we were here last summer (but it was not on Azamara).

It is very unusual for any ship of the size of Azamara to be tendering in Leith - they are tendering at Hounds Point which is not Leith but is located under the Forth Bridge

Good News ! From Azamara, Journey will be docked at Leith.
