scalan Posted August 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2009 We seem to have the answer to how the tender loading operates from ship to shore for one doing a DIY day. BUT what is the proceedure for getting a tender to return to the ship after you have done your own thing on shore or have been left to shop with return on your own?

Darcy8 Posted August 13, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just get in line at the pier. They have never checked to see if we were on a cruise tour or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted August 13, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2009 It's essentially the reverse of tendering in... You'll need to show your cruise card to someone...security and/or ship personnel. You'll then board your tender for the trip back to the ship. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 13, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yes stand in line and show your cruise card. :) First come first served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted August 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Rteturning to the ship is very democratic. There is no special advantage for being in a suite, being elite, having been on a Princess tour, etc. Tender in the order that you get on the (possibly long) line.

FredS Posted August 14, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I believe the length of the line is relative to the closer the time is to the last tender. They will get everyone back, and if you really must have that last "goody" to buy, try to get the very end of the tender line. You won't be left behind, as long as you are at the tender before it leaves the dock back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted August 14, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I always made sure that I wasn't on the last tender of the day. While I've never been nervous about being left behind, I just didn't want to deal with the long line & crowded tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
