How can you find out which pier your ship will be tendering to?

[bguppies]

Been to Georgetown, many times before, but only with 2 or 3 ships in port and we were always tendered to the Royal Watler terminal.

I've always seen the north and south terminals to the east, but never seen them used.

 

On February 13th, there will be 6 cruise ships in town, with over 17,142 passengers. 

The Carnival Paradise (us) and the MS Oosterdam at 8 AM, Marella Discovery at 9 AM, Liberty of the Seas at 10 AM and the Norweigien Breakaway at 11 AM. (something called the Pullmantur Monarch with no time)

 

We have to meet our independent excursion at the Royal Watler pier by 9:15 AM. (the South pier appeared to be a decent bit away from Watler and I'll be pushing DW in a wheelchair this trip)

 

Was curious if anybody knew how the port authority assigned which pier each incoming ship is assigned to?(first come first served? save Watler for the later, bigger ships?)

 

Appreciate any answers anybody can give, so I can more accurately plan for what we will be dealing with that day.

 

Thanks Bill

I checked CaymanPort.com's schedule..

 

The Carnival Paradise is 8am-3PM, Berth- anchorage 1, terminal - dock ??????

The Pullmantur Monarch is 8am-4pm, berth - anchorage 4, terminal - North

The Oosterdam is 5am-4pm, berth - cruise ship at engine, terminal - South

The Marella Discovery 2 is 9am-8pm, berth - anchorage 3, terminal - Royal

Liberty of the Seas is 10am -6pm, berth - anchorage 2, terminal - Royal

Norweigen Breakaway is 11-7, berth-cruise ship at engine, terminal - Royal;

 

So it appears the last 3 ships in, are getting to tender to Royal Watler, 

One is tendering to the south terminal and one to the north terminal.

Ours just says Dock?

Where is the "dock"?

[Capt_BJ]

could be talking about the cargo pier next to 'north'

[TravellingBritNY]

I doubt they would bring cruise ship passengers into an active cargo port.

 

If they have Anchorage 1 scheduled, then my bet is that it will be one of the three - maybe they just haven't assigned it yet,

[bguppies]

Just got back from our cruise and indeed, everything was exactly as the port authority website had it listed.

The four ships that had achorages and were anchored and the two ships that said, cruise ship at engine, indeed were running their engines.

And everybody was at the exact terminals stated, including us at the cargo ship pier.

 

So for anybody researching a future cruise, if it says "dock", it is indeed the cargo pier.
