jtl513 Posted April 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Those are the "normal" ones, but other ports can become tender ports under some circumstances. We were once at Castries St Lucia when another ship was occupying the berth we were supposed to have. I don't know if they didn't leave on schedule or arrived unexpectedly, but in any event we tendered. Also, St Thomas is sometimes a tender port for HAL.

Rare rafinmd Posted April 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2012 There are some exceptions the other way too. Sometimes there's a dock that isn't reliably available and it becomes free at the last minute. They aren't on the list but perhaps that's because HAL isn't currently booked to go there. We were told Ny Alseund was a tender port but Prinsendam docked there literally at the last minute last summer. Nuku Alufu was listed as a tender port for both the Amsterdam and Crystal Serenity last year and in both cases a dock opened up he night before arrival. The Zaandam also docked in Sanya China on my visit there. The list is a wonderful guide but you do need to be prepared for changes. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted April 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2012 We were docked at some of those ports listed as tender on more than one visit there. The Norway and Iceland ports I remember well. We docked every time at some of them. The Prinsendam docked at South Queensferry, although the E-dam and Rotterdam were tender. That list may be a fair guide, but it is not even close to absolute.

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2012 We have tendered in Juneau, Alaska and St Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullaRaffaello Posted April 5, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2012 On my Prinsendam trip, we're scheduled to stop at Horta in the Azores, and Visby Sweden. They are listed as tender ports. Does anybody know if the Prinsendam can dock at these ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
