Only The Love Boat can make tendering look attractive

Ancient rerun is on the TV. I glanced at it just in time to see people boarding the tender from the ship....so happy and perky. They didn't look much like tendering passengers today.

Do you mean to imply that tendering isn't always great fun?

 

Once when we were leaving Grand Cayman we discovered they had stopped bringing passengers to shore because of the rough conditions. There were 2 crew on the dock and 2 on the tender basically grabbing the passengers and hauling them from dock to tender. Once in the tender, it was up - down - sideways into the dock so hard that some passengers were sliding off of the benches and onto the floor. Fortunately the ship blocked the wind and waves when we got back so it was a lot easier getting off than on. We got an unexpected thrill ride at no additional cost.
