Airrace Posted February 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am staying in a sky suite and was wondering if they have any special privileges for getting off and on the ship at different ports. Most of my excursions are from a private company. Is their advantage of using the ships excursions for getting off the ship earlier? Thanks in advance.

justcrusn Posted February 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I know that suite guests receive priority tendering in tender ports, the time you need it most. I’m not sure about how much advantage there is in other ports as you can really just walk off with a short wait. The majority of guests have booked ship excursions and leave in groups at staggered times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levramosis Posted February 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If you go to Michael's club the concierge will walk you to the front of the line when port disembarkation begins. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckle Posted February 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) I am staying in a sky suite and was wondering if they have any special privileges for getting off and on the ship at different ports. Most of my excursions are from a private company. Is their advantage of using the ships excursions for getting off the ship earlier? Thanks in advance. I agree with justcrusn that if the ship is docked, there should be no problem as you can just walk off whenever you are ready, once they have tied up and cleared the ship.For tender ports, suites do get priority tendering. If you are in a suite, they usually leave your priority tender tickets in your cabin the night before a tender port, along with instructions on how to use them as the procedure may vary from one time to another. It is fastest when you can just take your priority tickets and go right down to the tender dock whenever you are ready to leave, but on some cruises they want us to go to Michael's Club first. If you don't receive priority tender tickets in advance, for whatever reason, then just go to Michael's Club in the morning when you are ready to leave, and the concierge there wlll take care of getting you priority tender boarding. For passengers who do not qualify for priority tendering, then booking a ship excursion does get them off faster at tender ports. As for priority boarding when returning to the ship, sometimes they offer it and sometimes they don't. Edited February 9, 2018 by fleckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_ll Posted February 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2018 On the Summit, it is highly unlikely you will be in any port requiring a tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcpc Posted February 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2018 On the Summit, it is highly unlikely you will be in any port requiring a tender. Unless you are doing a Canada/New England sailing on Summit!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted February 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2018 We are on a charter in a few weeks with grand cayman as one of the ports, also in sky suite most likely will just stay on the ship, dislike tenders even with suite perks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
