Grand Cayman Terminals: Watler, North, South....or Dock?

Very specific question here regarding the terminals at Grand Cayman. We are in port at 8 am and for our shore excursion have been notified to be at the meeting point at the entrance to the Royal Walter Terminal at 9. This is a short window of time in any case, but when I checked the Port Authority, I learned that there are 7 ships in that day - 4 to Royal Watler, and one each for North and South. For ours, it says "Dock." I know that all ships need to be tendered in, so what could "Dock" mean?

What ship are you on?

My best guess is that it may mean you are tendering to the cargo dock which is just south of the Royal Watler terminal.

We're on the Epic on November 29.

OK. Probably does mean tendering to the Cargo Dock.

A very, very few tiny specialty ships (liveaboard scuba dive vessel and such) can actually pull up and dock there rather than tendering ashore. Just wanted to be sure you were not on one of those.

I wouldn't worry too much. The various terminals are only about 5-10 minutes apart.

Good to know. That was my big concern. Thanks.

I'm up early and hearing the VHF radio calls between Port Security and the incoming ships. Port Security told the Norwegian Escape they are tendering to the Cargo Dock. That seems to correspond with the listing on the Cayman Port website which simply days "Dock". So seems we have a confirmation.

And, as bookbabe noted, the terminals are very close. The cargo dock is immediately adjacent to the North Terminal. You just have to exit/return by a different gate in the fence.
