Tendering from RRF dock in Skagway

[corky4man]

How does the tendering work?  Do you need a ticket and are non ship excursion passengers allow off with the earlier groups?

This will depend on how your ship chooses to do it.  But normally, yes, you need a ticket, and cruise line shore excursion people and those with elite status have priority.

One good thing about rrf to dock is that it is only about 100 yds or less to pier. Not sure how many tenders they will have in the water or how many people are on your ship but travel time should be considerably less than most tender rides. Often in the past we were able to show up at the tender for one of the first ones and get on. Won't work for later ones.

Same here as in Royal Princess in August. We booked a ship excursion with for the train and Yukon rather then booking on our own with Chilkoot as we were concerned about tender timing.
