bross2410 Posted July 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am looking at a few different Shore Excursions for Grand Cayman, including Stingray City. Through the RCCL Cruise Planner it only has one time listed for these Excursions, in and around 8:00am. Not being early morning people, I'm wondering if as we get closer to the cruise (December 29) they will be adding later times as the early tours fill up? Does anyone have any experience with this? Quick note that we leave Grand Cayman at 3:30pm that day so perhaps they are only offering early excursions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Probably not likely as they will want people back on the ship by 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie from arizona Posted July 15, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Another way to look at it is if you do a Royal excursion you have priority tendering. I think they want to get all their excursions off the ship before they let the rest of the people off. Someone said on another thread that it can take a couple of hours for non-excursion people to be allowed on the tenders. That is just what I read; not personal experience. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It will NEVER take a couple hours to get non-excursion folks off the ship! Lordy! It may take 20 mins. or so...that's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not a couple of hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
