cruisin0504 Posted January 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2017 This will be our first time on RCI. If we purchase the lounge chair for 2 "excursion" do we become eligible for priority tender tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbug4 Posted January 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Following.... We will be getting on our first RCCL cruise so I'm curious about the "tender tickets" you mentioned. We've never tendered before on a ship (other than the Wind Surf where you didn't need them). Do we need to get tickets somewhere on the ship?

cb at sea Posted January 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2017 IF you need to be 1st off at a tender port, tender tickets are common. Ship's excursions have 1st crack..then suites and diamonds, etc.. But...if you wait 15-20 mins. or so and let the 1st tender go, you simply get in line and get on the next tender. It's not a huge delay, especially at the private beach. Many folks don't even get off the ship at these "ports". The tender holds about 250 people...and it's a very short trip. If you are told to get tender tix, they will tell you WHERE to pick them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Pisces Posted March 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2017 So you don't get priority tender tickets, if you have something booked on Coco Cay? Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2017 So you don't get priority tender tickets, if you have something booked on Coco Cay? I don't believe reserving lounge chairs qualifies as an excursion getting you priority tender tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
identitycrisis Posted March 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2017 We booked the 11am slot for the water slides/aqua park. Will they make sure we get an early enough tender so we don't miss it? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have no problem making it to the water park in time. However, I'd get in the tender line no later than 10am. Earlier is even better.

identitycrisis Posted March 5, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks, but another poster said they got such a high number they didn't make it off until 12:30. Now I am concerned we could miss our slotted time. Anyone know if they will assign us an early tender number, or if we have to be proactive and get one ourselves?

Now I am concerned we could miss our slotted time. If you have a qualifying excursion you will get something to get you there on time. If there's something wrong with the tendering process no tender ticket number will fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
