Any pics of tenders?

[curlymama]

Does anyone have photos of any of the boats used for tendering? I was just wondering how big (or small) they actually are. Thanks in advance! :D

Any particular ship or port you have in mind?

[curlymama]

I thought they'd all be the same! (Can you tell I haven't been on my first cruise yet??) We'll be going to Roatan, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Belize. I don't know if we'll be docking at any of these ports.

Here's a pic of one of ours in Grand Cayman;

When I asked that question I honestly thought I had some photos of tenders in a couple of ports (Coz being one of them) that I could post but I did not! :( I'm sorry....

I'm sure there are others here who can share some photos - you can probably also search on webshots for photos from those ports and find some pictures posted. The tenders we've been on were well equipped, clean and safe power boats with bench seats; they hold from several dozen to near 100 people. On our HAL cruise, the lifeboats served as tenders on Half Moon Cay.... it was really interesting watching them being launched from the side of the ship.

Just off the Legend last month, we docked in Cozumel & Roatan. The pics you see here are very much representative of the tenders we used.

Here's pics of our tenders in Belize;

Holy Moly, those things look like they're about to capsize!! Okay, now I'm scared...:eek:

You'll love watching the tenders and other boats come and go while at anchor in Belize;

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, they also have party boats that are a bit larger and more livelier than the tender boats;

 

 

 

It's really fun to watch those boats return because you can see many of the riders become startled to see the ship even though they've been along side for ten or fifteen minutes. You also get to see folks partying who are unaware the ride is over and they have to get off! :eek: :D

curlymama,

 

They're really not that bad.....I should qualify, or disqualify myself by adding that we have a 24 foot deck boat of our own so the tenders aren't too unusual for us. :o

Here's our tender (Our pilot is much younger than Carnivals);

Tendering isn't that bad. The boats don't rock that much, most of the time.

Here was the best answer to the question about tenders. Sorry I took this from a previous post about tenders. :)

I think there is a web cam you can look at for the Grand Caymans. I don't have the link but I know I've looked at it.

Also in some ports, ships will use their lifeboats to tender in. I don't like the lifeboats because the bottom levels get really hot and they are not well ventilated...that equals motion sickness for me. :(

 

I've used lifeboat tenders in Juneau, Alaska; Cabo San Lucas; and Half Moon Cay (before they got their own larger tenders for the island).

Pics of the tenders at Half Moon Cay. I believe they hold up to 200 people. EM

here's one of mine ... and the tender we were on to go to Belize City, it was like this big one below. big and quite 'sound', nothing to worry about.
