Faster to the Fun Tender back priority?

Interesting idea. Usually by 2 pm or so after 3-4 hours on the beach (HMC) and a nice lunch we are ready to go back early afternoon when there is no line.

 

Agree! We were just at HMC last week and we used the priority tender over and after a couple of hours came back. There was no wait for the tender. It is also a lot easier to take those pictures at the front of the island that say welcome to HMC, etc. when the huge crowd is not standing there.

Every tender port I've ever visited, our technique is: find a nice shady bar within sight of the tenders, (there's always one :D) order a cold beverage or two, then just "chillax" talking about the day's events, out of the sun until the line is mostly gone, then leisurely saunter up and walk onboard the tender.... cool, happy, and stress free. You know, like we're on vacation? :cool:

 

And no, before the usual CC monsters pipe up, we are not delaying anyone, just choosing to "wait in line" in an alternate location. Usually there's even a couple tenders after us...

 

We do the exact same thing you do. For those with tired children and non-drinkers, I guarantee you they have snacks and pop at the bar. The kids will love the idea of sitting in the shade instead of standing in line.
