Where do the passengers meet who did not book their excursion throuhg Carnival?

Maybe I am using the wrong term but What I mean is when the ship anchors off shore and passengers need to take the 'tender' (large water taxi) to the port to get on shore.

We are first timers and will be tendering at Grand Cayman next week.

I pre-booked a shore excursion through an independent, NOT through Carnival.

I have read that passengers who have excursions through Carnival are tendered to shore first. I am now concerned that we will not get to shore in time for our excursion which leaves at 9:30am.

To add to the excitement we are travelling with our 2 small children.

Does anyone have any tips on how we can get on a tender and get to shore in a reasonable amount of time without stressing out over missing our shore excursion?
