nator555 Posted September 7, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2006 When should we be ready and waiting. Also to get off at a pier how early should we be ready and waiting. Since our excursions are in the early morning I don't want to waste a lot of time standing in line. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jckvpa0 Posted September 7, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Oh I would just take a blanket and pillow and sleep there the night before :D !!! Really it depends if you have an excursion booked with Carnival, I've heard they let them off first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nator555 Posted September 7, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted September 7, 2006 OH BOY! :eek: I am terrified of hour long lines. I have patience but I can see how that will get old with 3 different ports. Hopefully there is a time frame I am missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted September 7, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2006 What ports are you going to? That might make a difference on when you'll get off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nator555 Posted September 7, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted September 7, 2006 We are going to - Grand Turk at 7 am Half Moon Cay 9 am Nassau 7 am Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted September 7, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Grand Turk and Nassau are docking ports, no tendering. At Half Moon Cay, instead of racing to be on the first tender off the ship just take it easy and wait since it is a private island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nator555 Posted September 7, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Good point! I can assume when docked at a pier the line to get off the ship will constantly be moving - right? I can handle this. As for HMC I will again take your advice since we will be there all day there is no big hurry. We will enjoy a nice breakfast that day then head for the line. Thanks a lot for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingb Posted September 7, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2006 We are going to - Grand Turk at 7 am Half Moon Cay 9 am Nassau 7 am Thanks! We are also going to those ports, on the Elation. Jan. 06/07. When is yours? I am really looking forward to Grand Turk and Halfmoon Cay, haven't been to either before. I love beach days. :D Luv's Crusin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassic Posted September 7, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 7, 2006 They don't look like they anchor that far out, I might just do the old jump 'n' swim...;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since our excursions are in the early morning I don't want to waste a lot of time standing in line. Thanks again. Keep in mind that there are others, probably the vast majority on your cruise, that are "in the same boat";) Patience and going with the flow works.......

nator555 Posted September 7, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Luv's Cruzin' - we are going Sept 30th on the Fantasy. We are looking for others that are going too but the roll call is pathetic - maybe only handful of people are there. Oh well. I plan to do a very specific review on the ports. Prehaps I can answer some questions for people that I couldn't get myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigereye Posted September 7, 2006 #12 Share Posted September 7, 2006 In the past, guest who had excursion tickets did not need tender passes. Just show your ticket. This could be different on select ships, but this is how I've seen it in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
