ulek Posted February 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Where can I find out in which ports they are using Tender on my cruise Rome (Civitavecchia) to Istanbul with Seven seas Mariner Jun 16, 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambagahle Posted February 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Good question. It used to say "Docked" or "tender" on the itinerary page of the Regent site but I don't think I have seen this lately. It would be interesting to find out...

Portolan Posted February 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Since I don't believe this information is available anywhere in advance, I'd suggest listing the ports you'll be visiting and let the forum weigh in on their experiences for that port. Here's our experience for the second half of your cruise: Athens - docked (always) Santorini - tender (always) Kusadasi (Ephesus) - docked (always) Istabul - docked (always) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulek Posted February 20, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thank you very much for yours replys. I think it´s bad by Regent Seven Seas that you couldn´t see Tender Ports on the Itinerary, beacuase you can need this for planning your excursions. I went with Holland America Eurodam last year in Northern Europe and I know that Alesund, Norway and Dubrovnik, Croatia are not tender ports, but thank you a lot for Hollands Americas list.

I did wonder about the accuracy of HAL's list because we docked in Monte Carlo (on the list) but did see a HAL ship in the distance that tendered. There is also at least one port in Alaska where you dock -- unless the dock in full which then requires tendering. Perhaps, due to uncertainty in some ports, Regent would rather not indicate whether you dock or tender since it could change:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted February 20, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Could it be the large size of many of the HAL ships as opposed to the smaller Regent ships? Good point! That is probably the case in Monte Carlo -- space was quite limited. Fortunately we had a Captain that was skilled in parking the ship:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted February 20, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Took a peck at your itinerary. In addition to what was stated above, Amalfi and Sorrento are both tender ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulek Posted February 23, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Cruise Critic could make a list on all Tender ports for the ships. All members could update the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
