What do people wear on the tender boat?

[browneyedwoman]

I know that we'll need to bring our bathing suits for swimming. Do most people wear their bathing suits under regular shorts and t shirts or do they wear cover ups over the suits on the tender rides. If you wear regular clothes, is there a locker room to change into your bathing suits? Can you wear your bathing suit in the outside dining area with a T shirt thrown over it? Not sure if we'll even be able to be on the beach due to the hurricane but my travelling companions are wondering about this.

Most people wear their suits with a coverup or Tshirt on. There are changerooms on shore if need be. For lunch on shore anything goes.

Anything goes on the tender. We've just about seen it all.

 

Remember you are going to a beach party, so dress accordingly. If you are on board one of the early tenders it can be chilly.

Swimsuits and coverups are fine. Dress for whatever you'll be doing ashore. For the private beaches, most will be wearing a bathing suit, tee/shorts or coverup. There really aren't "changing rooms"...there are bathrooms, but why go to that trouble! The private beach days are an extension of the ship. Pretend you're at the pool! You don't have to dress for lunch at the BBQ on the private beaches.

 

If you're talking about tendering to a port besides the private beaches, then wear appropriate clothing for your activity....shopping requires "real" clothes!

Us girls wear bathing suit and cover ups....our guys just wear their board shorts and t shirts.......we wear this to all the caribbean/mexican ports tender or not because we do everthing water related........and we still stop at shops on the way back or eat breakfast first thing at port......

Bathing suit and coverup or bathing suit under normal clothes would both be fine. If you don't like to sit around in a wet bathing suit all day it is easy to throw underwear in a bag to change into after you are finished swimming. If you do that I suggest using a sundress for a coverup and then wear it as your clothes after swimming to make it easier to change.
