Earlier I saw information about this. I can't remember how to do this.

How can I find the tender ports on the HAL site? or is this not possible?

 

HELP!

Check the itinerary button on any cruise and it will show you where the ship will be stopping. There will be a small 'tr' on the ports that tender.
That's true only if you're still getting the old website. They do not show on the new one. OP: try using http://www.hollandamerica.com/?ASCookie=RSOrigin to see if you can get to the old site where they show on the itinerary.

 

That list is not always correct. For example it shows San Juan and Monaco as tender ports and we docked at both.

While I have always docked at San Juan, but tendered at Monaco last year.

While the list at https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/accessibility/port-tender-list.html?legacy=true provides some idea, it does have a good number of errors. Until HAL revises its list, you are better going to the port authority for any of your stops with which you aren't familiar and look there for your specific date. Bear in mind that harbour masters can and do make last minute changes, so there's never a guarantee that you won't tender.

ToBe,

 

Are you, by chance, looking for Alaskan ports? It takes a little more work than just looking up one website. Here is a list of all of the 2018 port schedules in Alaska. http://claalaska.com/?page_id=1551

You will find a code on the right part of the box for each day. That code is the dock that the ship is scheduled to be at. So then you need to check the code, and they are all different. If you will have to tender, the code is usually similiar to ANC for "anchor". Here are a couple of links to the ports that we are going to:

 

Juneau http://cruiseportwiki.com/Juneau

Ketchikan https://www.ktn-ak.us/port

Skagway http://skagway.com/cruise-ship-calendar/

 

I hope this helps!

You and other responders have helped. We will be on the Noordam in January and I have an idea from the original itinerary for some of the ports. I will check each port. I wish HAL would include this information. It makes planning for private tours easier.

I'm not sure about the HAL site, but you can find webpages for most port authorities that will have a list of ships visiting and which berths they've been assigned.

 

I have been trying to Google each port of our upcoming Grand Asia to find out what in berth the ship will dock. I am not having much luck. Most of the time the Port Authority just gives the city, not even the terminal. What is the secret to getting this info?

In our case, the receipt for the cruise, from HAL or TA includes an itinerary which shows tr and vi (visa required) for all ports on the cruise. Not easy to get online, except via old website, but it is on paper.

We choose 8 PM fixed dining and ask for a table for two . Why a small table one us gets "the sneezes" and heavy perfume. Never mention this allergy and never had others placed with us when we had been given a table for four. Maybe it's due to my bad table manners?
