How long to get tender usually?

[qqmelodia]

Hi there,

i am wondering about how long does it take usually to get off the ship, since there is no dock i heard, so we all have to tender. i suppose people who purchase tour with the ship have the priority. I am planning on booking independently to do stingray sandbar, and am wondering if i will be able to get off the ship to make the tour. I will be coming in via the norwegian dawn arriving at 7:30am. i am hoping to see if i can get off around 9am. do you think it's doable? any suggestions?

thanks,

qq

If you get in line early for tender tickets and if your ship arrives on time, then 9:00 is very doable.

GC is the easiest island to tender into. It is only about a 5-10 min tender ride at the most, so the tenders move very quickly. They are also used to having several ships in port at the same time and there are tons of tenders.

 

I wouldn't worry if you can't get tickets for the first tender, because the next ones will not take that long.
