pizzalady1 Posted January 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Will the new pier be ready this season so the cruise ships will no longer need to tender?? According to a recent article (which I can no longer find), the pier will be ready for the first cruise in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiiCruz2 Posted January 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Here is a link to an article written in June 2015 stating the Pier should be ready for the 2016 season. http://www.travelpulse.com/news/cruise/icy-strait-point-building-a-cruise-ship-pier.html Oddly enough, I will miss the tenders in this quaint port.

oaktreerb Posted January 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Good to know. I have not been to this port but the reviews of the tendering have not been favorable. Sitka is a beautiful tender port so I hope that port keeps tendering HAL ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspenRed Posted January 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I didn't see anything wrong with the tendering. Everything was smooth and simple. I love Icy Strait Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arctickitty Posted January 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I enjoyed the tender ride... no cell service on the ship, but I got it once I walked a few feet towards town (and all through town). Wonder if having a cruise-up dock will affect cell service for the locals on ship days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamminlion Posted January 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just booked a private tour in ISP, and the provider, while working out pick up details, tells me the pier will be ready and waiting for the season to start. Good news for those of us who don't like tendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree.star Posted January 14, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Well, based on the 2016 schedule posted on their website, the Norwegian Pearl that I will be on will be the first ship of the season, so I will be able to tell you on May 11th!
