Tendering on Epic-class ships: how long does it take to get to Nice shore?

Hello,

 

For those who have been on an Epic-class ship that has called into Nice, France, do you recall how long it takes to get from the ship to the wharf in Nice?

 

I am trying to figure out how early one has to get to the tender station on the ship to meet a tour guide for an excursion that starts at 8:30 a.m.

 

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean Cannes?

 

If so then the journey itself is pretty quick.

 

For tenders before a certain time in the morning, you need to reserve your place. They start giving them out a few days earlier, so keep an eye out for that. Details are in the freestyle daily.

To Cannes (not Nice) it took about an hour - but that's because our tender broke down and we had to slowly get back and get on another one which they then waited to fill up :rolleyes: The actual journey was maybe 10-15 minutes to leaving and getting off.

 

On the way back all tenders were stopped due to high winds so it took 2 hours :eek:

 

Don't worry, I don't think it's normally like that, but have to admit it did put me off tenders a bit :D

Yes, I meant Cannes, my mistake:o

 

Thanks for the responses and reading my mind.

 

If one needed to get to shore at 8:30 a.m., which time/slot should be reserved and is there an issue in getting the early preferred time/slot?

 

Don't want to be the last ones to join the group.:o
