jody75 Posted November 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Why doesn’t Celebrity advise the ports they know will require Tendering? I for one would avoid these cruises as tendering is a nightmare, poor organisation and everybody in such a rush and not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on the website, here's an example if it works..Just scroll over in the itineraries to Grand Cayman. https://www.celebritycruises.com/spa/#/itinerary-details?packageID=EQ07W214&sDT=2018-01-27&cCD=CO&aCB=false Edited November 21, 2017 by dkjretired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2017 They do list arrival/departure/dock/tender information on their itineraries. But even ports where they expect to dock sometimes require tendering at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodger1964 Posted November 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2017 And sometimes you get lucky and vice versa.... That happened last time we went to St. Thomas...Went to bed thinking we would be at tender when woke up...woke up and we were at Havensight Dock...told us another ship had an issue and had to change to different island at last minute.

As several above have noted, Celebrity DOES indicate, on the itinerary, whether a port is docked or tendered. And, for your own information, Grand Cayman is ALWAYS a tender port. No cruise ships dock in Grand Cayman, since the island is surrounded by coral reefs Tendering is always required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mferranti Posted November 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2017 If the tendering process is so onerous you can stay on the ship. We often do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
