Carnival and tender

We will be going to st Martin. Our reservation from carnival says occasion or seasonal tender. We have been there in the past, but do not remember tendering into port. Does anyone know what this means?

I'm guessing if there are too many ships in port, your ship may not be able to dock at the pier. Looking at the number of ships in port when you arrive next October, which is 3, don't see you will need to be tendered.

Means you may or may not tender.

If you are lucky enough to tender, the tender dock in town is quite convenient. :)
