QV Mediterranean Medley -- Tenders?

[portadown]

I'm booked on the Mediterran Medley in August, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the QV uses tenders for any of the ports. (Questions to the Cunard website have gone unanswered ......)

 

Ports include:

 

Barcelona

Monte Carlo

Civitavecchia (for Rome)

Livorno

Sardinia (Alghero)

Palma de Mallorca

Gibralter

 

Thanks.

Hi Portadown,

 

Monte Carlo may be tenders. It was listed on our pre voyage documentation for Med Medley (Apr 20) as a tender port, but when we got on board it seemed that it wasnt. It didn't make a lot of difference in the end as the Captain decided that things were a little too windy for Monte Carlo and anchored at Villefranche instead. That definitely was a tender port.

 

Alghero - definitely tenders. But, again we had to skip that one as the weather was too bad, so we sailed straight on past and headed for Mallorca.

 

We also tendered at Gibraltar but, from what I can gather, that was because we were delayed and another ship took our berth at the cruise terminal.

 

Don't know about Livorno - it wasn't on our itinerary.

When QE2 was scheduled to visit Livorno last May, we had to go to La Spezia instead. That is definately another tender port.

Thanks very much!
