marella explorer 2 tendering again

[gramwold]

hi  all  just noticed that  marella ex 2 is tendering in st lucia today mon 30 dec  even though there are no other ships in port  and you can easily fit 4 ships in.   

 

is marella saving money or are they having an extended holl in st lucia at the port.  we tendered here in November  and waited and watched as 4 ships entered the port (they were all paying more obviously) it was a nightmare  for us took till after lunch to get ashore.  we had been many times  so it was just a trip to the  rum therapy bar.  but some had chosen pre booked trips with locals as we have before  and as they always get the people on marella trips off first well end of trip really. there was a problem with one of the tender motors  so only used  3tenders   so it took an a ge to get off.    why cant they just put another one in the water.    there were already about 800 people ashore so it wont be a problem.

 

anyway  anybody have any other thoughts  about this

New one on me, we have been to St Lucia on many occasions and we have never tendered into port.

Yes strange we've been there at least five times with Thomson/Marella and never tendered
