cruiser800 Posted January 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I know that there is a web site that we can check where a ship needs tendering at the port. Is anyone has that link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parody Posted January 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I don't believe such a site exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumD Posted January 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Probably best to check the cruise lines website. In some ports some ships have to dock and some have to tender. (For example there may be two piers for ships and four ships in port that day, 2 dock, 2 tender.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted January 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I know that you tender in at Grand Cayman and Belize. What ports are you wondering about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted January 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The Princess website indicates, for each crusie, which ports they always, tender and which ones they sometimes tender. I would think most of the other cruise line sites would have similar info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted January 13, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2008 last year the ship pulled up at the dock in St. Maartin and we got off. Then, think it was 10AM the ship moved off into harbor. We had to tender to get back to her. This was well anounced so no one was surprised by it. (Another ship took our spot at the dock.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetf Posted January 13, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2008 last year the ship pulled up at the dock in St. Maartin and we got off. Then, think it was 10AM the ship moved off into harbor. We had to tender to get back to her. This was well anounced so no one was surprised by it. (Another ship took our spot at the dock.) We arrived at St Maartin and anchored even though there were three spots available at the dock. The reason we anchored was the ship's hull was scraped while we were ashore. As we were tendering off, we could see the "scraping" boats arriving to clean the underside. It was announced the day earlier and the Captain said it was needed to improve there "fuel mileage". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvie Posted January 20, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Royal Caribbean also lets you know what ports are tender versus docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted January 20, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 20, 2008 HAL itineraries all indicate which ports require tendering. Some ports you may tender one time you visit but dock another. Some ports always have to use tenders as there is no dock large enough to hold a cruise ship. For example, we have docked at Havensight in St. Thomas, we have docked at Crown Bay at St. Thomas and we have tendered from inner harbor to downtown at St. Thomas. We have docked in St. Maarten and we have tendered. Same for Cozumel. Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtcruzr Posted January 20, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 20, 2008 You cruise itinerary should tell you at each port stop what ther time of arrival and departure and if your ship will be docked or tendered. Some of this information may change by the time you get on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyz Posted January 21, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Carnival shows which ports are docked or tendered on your specific itinerary after you've reserved the cruise and it's on your reservations page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
