Conquest Docked or tendered?

[dougemt123]

Hi Fellow Cruisers! We're taking the Carnival Conquest in April and were wondering if someone could enlighten us as to whether the following ports of call are tendered or docked. Cayman Island, Cozumel, Roaton, Belize? My wife has some mobility limitations and we would like to know what to prepare for. Carnival doesn't make this prominent information on their website.

It's there, under FAQs.

 

At certain ports of call, small boats known as tenders are used to transport passengers from the ship to shore. Certain of these tenders may not be accessible to individuals using wheelchairs and mobility scooters, or the status of the tendering process at a particular port under certain weather, sea, swell, current and/or tide conditions may prove difficult for a safe transfer to take place. In each case, it will be the decision of the ship officials to determine, based on their evaluation of safety issues for our guests and crew, whether or not a guest using a wheelchair may board a tender. In order to safely board tenders, guests must be able to take steps and use a collapsible, fold up wheelchair; motorized wheelchairs and mobility scooters cannot be taken on tenders.

When you finish your pre-check in you get a 'booking summary' that shows which ports are tendered (in case there are changes)

We were on the Dream in Oct. and did all of these stops except Grand Cayman. We tendered in Belize, and docked in Roaton and Cozumel. It has been a few years since we visited GC but the last time we were there we did tender. We will be on the Conquest Feb 16 and 23 so for these same stops, I will try and respond again when we return.

Grand Cayman has no pier, or plans to build one. It will be a tender port.
