Jade Cruise Posted April 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi, a first-timer question: in a tender port if we go ashore and only want to spend a short time, how regularly are the tenders back to the ship? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2015 They run non-stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted April 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Does vary according to distance & demand. But at any time of the day if you just miss one there's probably another waiting for that space on the jetty & the wait before it heads to the ship should be no more than 15-20 mins. (If that happens, be wary of sitting in the open stern - it can get quite fumey with the engine running while the tender is sat sitting) JB :) Edited April 6, 2015 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 6, 2015 They will run continuously. So you will only have a short wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted April 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Generally a shuttle operation - with one or more continually going back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted April 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi, a first-timer question: in a tender port if we go ashore and only want to spend a short time, how regularly are the tenders back to the ship? thanks they run continuously. how long between them depends on how many are running at a time and how many they can transport at once. as well as the distance from the anchor out point and the pier. I have seen every thing from under ten minutes transit to nearly 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted April 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Generally a shuttle operation - with one or more continually going back and forth. Per above, you'll be able to get back to the ship whenever you wish with only a short wait at the worst. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bob Posted April 10, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2015 And, it is not just the Ship's tenders. I have been to several Ports that Princess had hired local boats to supplement and reduce the turn around time. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
