bentpilot Posted June 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Anyone have a list of ports that are guaranteed to not have to tender to shore? Are there any Carnival itineraries that do not involve tendering, or at least have minimal tendering? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUZBUDS Posted June 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Anyone have a list of ports that are guaranteed to not have to tender to shore? Are there any Carnival itineraries that do not involve tendering, or at least have minimal tendering? Thanks. Here is Carnival's list of ports where tendering is always necessary. Other ports can be also require tendering if dock capacity is exceeded. Cozumel and Juneau are examples of this. There are no guarantees not to have to tender -- but it is highly unlikely in most ports with docks. Can anyone add to the ports that might go either way? Always a tender port: Belize Bora Bora, Tahiti Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cannes, France Catalina Island, California Catalina Island, Dominica Edinburgh, Scotland Grand Cayman Half Moon Cay, Bahamas Kona, Hawaii Lahaina, Maui Moorea, Tahiti Newport, Rhode Island Puerto Montt, Chile Punta Arenas, Chile Sitka, Alaska Suva, Fiji Islands Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted June 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Here is Carnival's list of ports where tendering is always necessary. Cannes, France Yup! Bin there done that! :) Here's a shot of Splendor at Cannes, with tenders In nine cruises, we only ever had to tender ashore twice. ;) The other tendering stop was DOMINICA Isl. where the only two docks were already taken. .

Rottweiler Puppy Posted June 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Cozumel Dock Hurricane Wilma did a number on Cozumel's cruise piers when it hit in October 2005. The Puerto Maya pier, about 3 miles south of tourist hub San Miguel, was completely destroyed and is currently no where close to reopening, .. Old info. The pier has been up and running fine for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqvol Posted June 18, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Any port can be a tender port depending on how many ships are there, I have even seen it done in St. Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUZBUDS Posted June 18, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I just remembered that I've seen it in Acapulco if a third ship is in, but since virtually no ships go there anymore -- it's not an issue :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
