Grand Cayman - What time do you line up for tenders?

[MikeInThornhill]

Hey Everyone - Sounds like we need to line up for a tender to shore at Grand Cayman as we are not doing a DCL excursion. We'll just hit the beach.

 

Any idea when we will need to arrive at the BV Theatre for Tender Tickets? The DCL itinerary says "Guests ashore @ 11:30am" but we want to do a couples massage (50mins) at 9:15. Will we have enough time to do that and make an early tender?

You should be fine. Some people will start lining up 45mins to an hour before the first tender. If you arrive at 11:30 you will most likely be waiting in the Buena Vista for 30mins to an hour.

Last November when we went on the Fantasy we had an easy morning and went to Animators Palate to get tender tickets but they said we didnt need them now that all the morning excursions were off the boat so it was open tendering now.

 

So we walked down to deck 1 and walked right off the ship onto a tender boat that was only half full. They arrived about every 5minutes all morning and late afternoon. In between they were about 10 minutes apart.

The tenders were large and held a lot of people so it went really fast.

 

By the time you finish your massages you'll probably be able to walk right off like we did.

If you are just going to the beach, why line up at all? Have a relaxing morning and when you are ready, head to the tender area and get on the next one without a line.

Grand Cayman is now running some pretty large shore-based tenders that get you to shore pretty quickly.
