afdds Posted April 18, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Just booked with Soto for Sting Ray City. Little worried about the confirmation stating that I need to try and get the first tender. Meeting at 8:40. I know the ship is on Eastern time. And I think the Caymans is also but they don't observe Day Light Savings. Has anyone else taken this tour? Did you have plenty of time to get there. Thanks so much for the help.

marvholly Posted April 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Did this on our 3/28 Victory trip w/ Sotos. We went down to the theater area just after the announcement that the line for tender numbers was open, got #11 and were off the ship in plenty of time. The tenders are huge, rentals not lifeboats and hold more than the life boats. Also, sotos runs vans from the pickup point to his facility constantly and has several boats. So if you are a few minutes late you just get the next van. Holly M/S Boheme 11/69 Rhapsody 2/77?

judyf Posted April 19, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Had no problem getting there on time. Had a little while to shop around before the tour. Had some concerns coming back, just make sure you announce on the Soto's boat what time you need to be back for last tender. If needed our last tender was at 2:30pm make sure you tell then you need to be on the first shuttle going back. We were real close to our time but the last tender was late and we were fine. Just a little more stress then I needed.

ladyjane Posted April 19, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2004 No need to worry. We did the same tour a month ago (it was cancelled because of high winds), but there was plenty of time. We thought we would really have to rush and make sure we got on the first tender, but you'll have plenty of time. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaBear Posted April 20, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2004 should not be a problem. We are booked with Soto's in 2 weeks. I e-mailed them that same question since they deal with the Senasation all the time. They replied that the Sensation tenders on time, unless of weather. They just said to make sure we get on an early tender. I understand if you have an early excursion booked, you can show the ship your confirmation and they will make sure you are scheduled on an early tender.
