How early a head of time can I get my tender pass?

[Erikamac]

Ok so this is new to me, the last cruise we were on you just showed your badge and got on the tender and it was a small ship, azamara. Today a friend that went on the same cruise I'm going on said get your tender pass for santorini and Mykonos the night before so you can get off the ship faster. So how far in advance can I get it BC I want off the ship ASAP! Thanks, also where on the ship do you get it? I'm on the reflection

Unless you are in a Suite, tender passes start at about 6:30 in the morning and are handed out first come first served.

So I can't get it ahead of time? I'm book concierge class, where on the ship do you get them? Guess I'll be setting an alarm

The time and place will be announced the night before in your Celebrity Today. The ticket distribution point differs from ship to ship and port to port so no one can give you a specific time and place now. People in Suites (as noted) Zenith level passengers, VIP guests and those on Celebrity tours will leave first. The tours usually gather in the Theater and use the stairs closest to the Theater. Disembarkation for others is usually via the mid ship stairs or elevator. Suite passengers, Zenith level members and VIPs receive a #1 ticket and my leave whenever they wish and go to the front of the line.

The most significant cause for delay in Santorini is not leaving the ship, but getting into town. You have three choses: walk the donkey path (yuck); ride a donkey; take the ride up. Lines for the ride can get long and that's where you can have a delay. Mykonos and Santorini are worth the wait.

In my experience, sometimes tender tickets are given out the day before port day at a specified time, but other times it's given out day of, when you arrive at the port. It depends on the port and ship.

That's why I want off the ship ASAP! To get off and get on a ride up...lol. I'll see betting my alarm to get up and get out to be first in line then...

If you are in Concierge cabin or above, you'll get your tender ticket in your stateroom the night before you arrive at the port you are tendering, when your stateroom is prepared for the night.

 

If you are in any of the other cabins they will announce at the end of the evenings main entertainment where your tickets can be obtained from the next morning and starting from what time. Alternatively it will be in the (oh I've forgotten the name of the daily news thingy :eek:) that will also be in your stateroom the night before.

 

I think that's right . :o

Don't "elite members" still get priority tickets??

If you are really determined to get off early, check to see if there are any cheap excursions I have known people to book cheapies they have no intention of taking (maybe a walking tour) just to an early tender.

Suite guests with access to Michael's Club now go to Michael's Club and the Concierge escorts you down to to the tender area to board.

If you are elite, you can get priority tender tickets the night before.

Generally, if you aren't elite, you should find out when and where the tickets are being passed out and be there at least half an hour ahead of time. I have waited an hour ahead of time to get good tickets.

No priority tender tickets for Concierge Class last month on Equinox for Santorini, Mykonos, or Villefranche. The daily had the time and location to pick them up in the morning. If you want an early tender arrive at least a half hour prior to the time listed to get in line. One person can pick up tickets for your group.

 

They were using local tender boats and some lifeboats so it went fairly quick.
