curlymama Posted March 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Does anyone have photos of any of the boats used for tendering? I was just wondering how big (or small) they actually are. Thanks in advance! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlymama Posted March 11, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I thought they'd all be the same! (Can you tell I haven't been on my first cruise yet??) We'll be going to Roatan, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Belize. I don't know if we'll be docking at any of these ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepeka Posted March 12, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2008 When I asked that question I honestly thought I had some photos of tenders in a couple of ports (Coz being one of them) that I could post but I did not! :( I'm sorry.... I'm sure there are others here who can share some photos - you can probably also search on webshots for photos from those ports and find some pictures posted. The tenders we've been on were well equipped, clean and safe power boats with bench seats; they hold from several dozen to near 100 people. On our HAL cruise, the lifeboats served as tenders on Half Moon Cay.... it was really interesting watching them being launched from the side of the ship.

sallyb Posted March 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just off the Legend last month, we docked in Cozumel & Roatan. The pics you see here are very much representative of the tenders we used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMedik Posted March 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You'll love watching the tenders and other boats come and go while at anchor in Belize; Oh yeah, they also have party boats that are a bit larger and more livelier than the tender boats; It's really fun to watch those boats return because you can see many of the riders become startled to see the ship even though they've been along side for ten or fifteen minutes. You also get to see folks partying who are unaware the ride is over and they have to get off! :eek: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMedik Posted March 12, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Holy Moly, those things look like they're about to capsize!! Okay, now I'm scared...:eek: curlymama, They're really not that bad.....I should qualify, or disqualify myself by adding that we have a 24 foot deck boat of our own so the tenders aren't too unusual for us. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisnpat Posted March 12, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Tendering isn't that bad. The boats don't rock that much, most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazieNCruisingGypsy2 Posted March 12, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think there is a web cam you can look at for the Grand Caymans. I don't have the link but I know I've looked at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbug Posted March 12, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Also in some ports, ships will use their lifeboats to tender in. I don't like the lifeboats because the bottom levels get really hot and they are not well ventilated...that equals motion sickness for me. :( I've used lifeboat tenders in Juneau, Alaska; Cabo San Lucas; and Half Moon Cay (before they got their own larger tenders for the island).
