Docked vs. Tendering - Adventure of the Seas

[DawnC28]

Hi

 

How do you know (or do you?) ahead of time if you will be docked at or tendered into port?

 

We are the only ship or one of two ships at most ports except for St. Thomas where we are one of 5! (ulp!), and just wondered if it was first come, or if RCI has specific contract for dock-age vs. tendering (i.e., I know in the BVI, certain cruise ships have dibs on dock-age on their days in port due to the contracts they signed...).

 

Thanks for the info!

I cannot think of any ports on either of Adventure's Southern Caribbean itineraries that are tender ports.

 

Also, if you look at the itinerary, it should specify if ports are tendered or docked.

Thanks Bob!

 

It does say Docked on the itinerary, but I wasn't sure if that actually meant docked, or that it was in port (if you know what I mean!).

 

Yay, no tendering!
