Does Tendering Cost?

[inanotherlife]

If you aren't planning any excursions through Carnival, but you'd like to get off and visit an island does it cost to tender?

 

We're going on the Liberty 9/27 and our ports of call are Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Ochos Rios...I believe my PVP said we'd have to tender at one of these ports and I forgot to ask her if this cost or not.

No, there is no cost... you just have to wait to get on one until after those booked with ship excursions get off...

Wonderful! We don't mind waiting our turn. Just didn't know if you had to pay to get a ticket or anything. Thanks for the help! :)

Well, if time is money, tendering does take some extra time.

 

But for most of us on vacation, time is not money, so the wait for the tender won't cost you much.

We always think of tendering as a free small boat ride and enjoy being on the water extra time. Never had to wait more than a few minutes once, unusually if you eat breakfast and get off before the shops open there is no line.

Well, sort of, you did have to pay the cost of the cruise... :-) But if you don't count that.. its free...

Yes the cost of tendering by the cruise line is naturally included into the cost equation that determines your base cabin price. Just like the cost of doing business for any other business.

 

Now having said that it does not cost you anything additional to use the tender service.

An additional item to ponder is how much does the cruise line factor into your base cabin price to make up for lost revenue on the vessel while you are in port rather than spending money on the ship.
