csic Posted June 21, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Noticed on Cruise-cal that there will be 4 ships in Grand Cayman the day we are there. Have a excursion booked at 9am that is not thru Carnival. Ship to arrive in port around 7am. Will we be able to get off ship in time for excursion?

mrdood Posted June 21, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2007 It is always possible to be late, but if the ship is on time, you should be fine. They will however leave on time, so don't be late back to the ship. Four ships is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, the operator of your excursion wants your $$$. Also, the other persons doing your excursion all have to get off either your ship or their ship. Your tour operator is used to all of this, so he/she will be waiting for you when you step off the tenders, whether it's 8:15 or 9:15. Enjoy.

big_duck Posted June 21, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thanks everyone for the info!!! When and how do you get tender tickets? Varies for ship to ship, some don't even use them. Attend the port talk to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirsty Cruiser Posted June 21, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Last time we were in Cayman, we were able to get tender tickets early just by walking up to the table they had set up, even though the announcement said they would not be made available until all ships tours had left. Once the initial surge of people trying to get off is over, you should have little if any wait to get off. That time will vary depending on how many people on the ship -- larger ships generally take longer to unload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
