Platinum

[poe17]

Does anyone know please , if we are platinum, that gives us priority to get off the ship on the first tenders going to the ports, we are traveling with friends who are silver and gold, can they get off with us in the first tender boats as they are traveling with us,

Within reason, it's possible - no guarantees. Meaning, 2 people can probably bring 2 more without issue. If you're bringing 16 more people with you, there might be an issue and wouldn't really be fair to everyone else with priority.

Gold Latitudes also have priority tendering.  Once onboard, go to Cruise Next desk and get details about the priority tender process.  With both Platinum and Gold you should not have a problem bringing Silver along.  Of course, as @julig22 stated…within reason and numbers.

Historically, Platinum priority tendering just meant that you could join the back of the line without making a reservation and getting a tender group number. You did not get on the first tenders unless you went and lined up early. 

 

Recently, CruiseNext has offered escorts to the tender lines on some ships at some ports. You need to register with them. 

 

Haven/suites guests still get escorted to the front of the tender lines. On our last cruise, there were a large group of priority guests that were escorted by the General Manager's office and allowed to join the tender line before CruiseNext guests.

What are CruiseNext guests? I thought that is the discount certificate program.

 

Do you mean people escorted by the CruiseNext desk team … who area also the Latitudes team?

To a large extent it depends on where you are. I places like Santorini they are likely not going to allow friends to join because the process is so slow.
