Tendering in Samana

[Crazyshopper]

How long does it take to tender to Samana? I am considering a local tour company and was wondering what time we should be meeting them.

[Supercilious]

We were on the Jewel when it first went into Samana back in November. The crew was somewhat disorganized and did not seem familiar with tendering the passengers. It was 11 before we arrived ashore and we were on the second tender. They also had difficulty bringing the tenders back aboard that evening. We left Samana about a half hour late because of it.

 

It was even worse the next day in Tortola. We didn't get ashore until noon. Hopefully, on your cruise, you will be docked instead of tendering there.
