HMC - Cabana and Priority Tender Boarding Question

[cruz-in]

Hi All, 

 

We reserved a Cabana on Half Moon Cay. The reservation says we get Priority Tender boarding.  I had a few questions about Priority Tender Boarding and was hoping you all could help me with answers. 

 

1) To depart the ship, how is Priority Boarding Handled?  Is there a line for normal and "Priority"?

2) When we return to he ship do we still get Prioirity Boarding? 

 

Thanks for your time

You will be given written instructions on Priority status with your cabana. We always get the Butler upgrade, and say we want to be on the first tender. Has worked every time- either the Butler assures it, or we are told where and when to be at the tender operation. This is on HAL, don't know if you are asking about HAL or Carnival.

 

No priority coming back.

We are using HAL. 

 

Was hoping for Priority on the way back. Last time on HMC, near departure time there was a reasonable line to return tho the ship.

People don't want to leave. Thus there will likely be a line coming back on your visit. However, the lines move pretty quickly when they have the larger island based tenders in service. The lines will be worse if you are the smaller ship there on a two ship day and you are using that ship's tenders.
