How Does Priority Tender Use Work for Neptune Suite

[CherryG]

We were in a Neptune Suite a few years ago, and didn't know it included priority tendering (or that Pinnacle for breakfast) was included. We're off on the 11th Nov. in a Neptune again, and I was wondering how the tendering works for Neptune guests. I've never noticed a line of people going ahead of others in line before.

In those ports where there is a procedure in place where you need to pick up a tender ticket and then wait until your number is called, Neptune Suite guests can bypass the procedure. Just head for the deck where you embark the tenders. There will be someone collecting the tender tickets ... just show your room card and you will be allowed to go. You then join the rest of the people in line waiting to board the next tender.

Y,es and keep in mind many in the line are also pirority tendering. Some folks in tthe past have thought it ok to move up forward in the lline but unless directted to by somone in uniform it is not. :)

The first time I had a Neptune Suite I also did not know how priority tendering worked. This was not a tender ticket port. I usually use the stairs but for some reason came down on the elevator. I saw the line and didn't know if that was the "right" one or there was a special line so I asked the nearest officer where I should go. He took me to the front of the line and had me get on the tender immediately. I discovered later that is not how it works. Belated embarrassment big time. :o

If we have a private tour, we just go down to the tender area and get at the end of the line. Showed our ID card -- no problem.

When we don't have any plans for an excursion, we just wait until the majority of the people are off the ship and then we leave.

Since the officer escorted you to the front of the line, I imagine that people watching may have thought that you had an emergency and the officer was helping you to get off the ship faster. So don't be embarrassed.
