How bad are waits times to Tender and then meet a Tour - RCCL

[MNice99]

Hi, 

 

We are starting to plan for our cruise next winter, we will be on the Explorer OTS next February. 

We really want to snorkel I'm wondering if they move the people off the ship at a reasonable pace.  will have to worry about missing our tour operator. due to long waits to catch a tender? 

 

or on the flip side if we are lucky enough to catch an early tender will we have to wait an exurbanite amount of time for other people?   Do Tour operators take people from multiple ships?

We were just there on the Regal Princess. We waited a long time on the ship to get off. In Port there were line ups so long and for 4 ships...it took an hour & a half in the heat to wait for a tender back. We went to Goff's Caye, which is a beautiful little island, but we went with Splash Wave Tours and it was so unorganized and a lot of waiting again in the heat. The snorkeling really wasn't worth all the waiting in lines in the heat! IMHO Snorkeling in Roatan was better...
