SeekingtheSun Posted February 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Does anyone know if the pier on Harvest Caye has been fixed, or are they still tendering? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted February 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Someone posted a review from their cruise earlier in the week and indicated that tendering was still occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twtudor Posted February 22, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I called Norwegian yesterday and talked to 2 different people and both said they knew nothing about tendering in caye. One told me if they changed to tendering in a port we would be notified. We cruise out of New Orleans 3/8. That being said I don’t trust Norwegian!

1025cruise Posted February 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The people on the phones very rarely have real information. My understanding is that they are tendering while the pier is being fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted February 22, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The phone reps often are the last to know anything! My understanding is that the pier was damaged recently when Escape hit it along the side and has therefore, been closed until the repairs are complete. The agents you spoke with seem to have put a lot of stock in NCL's communication practices. We leave next Saturday on Escape and have received nothing regarding tendering but nonetheless, I believe it is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rueben Posted February 22, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2020 On Getaway last week, we were notified two days prior of tendering at Harvest Keye (day 7 of our cruise). Clearly, they knew long before the cruise started, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comi.uy Posted February 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2020 We'll be in Harvest Caye in May, is there any ETA on the docking fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEATH3913 Posted February 22, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'll be here in a few weeks. Hopefully it will be fixed, otherwise that's a bummer. We were planning to just hang out at the pool and were hoping to go back on board for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat.D Posted February 23, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'll stop by Harvest Cay again in 2 weeks on the Escape. If the dock hasn't been fixed, I'll probably stay onboard. I've already been to Harvest cay 3 times in the last year and it's no Great Stirrup Cay and for me it's a "meh..." beach stop at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted February 23, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2020 This is the first I'm hearing about them tendering at harvest Caye, so I don't know when it started. I was there in mid January, and we docked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We you able to notice any damage to the pier or if there appeared to be a crew working on its restoration? We leave on Escape on Saturday and I heard that Cozumel is also a tender...two tenders = yuck IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebels82 Posted February 23, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Could not see any damage but we were pretty far away. Didn’t look like much work was going on, if any. Only 4 or 5 people with bright vests were walking on pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked it at the last minute for peanuts, my shore excursions (diving) in every port cost me more than the actual cruise! 😉 lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paris334 Posted March 11, 2020 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Just FYI that we just left HC on Escape and it's tender - what a disaster! We had to wait until noon to get off, then stood in line for 45 minutes to get tender back a couple of hours later. Had I known that a beer was $9 and any fruity drink was $13 and we'd spend significantly more time waiting than doing anything else I'd have stayed on the ship for sure. That situation needs to be fixed ASAP by NCL! (Not a single person working on pier.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That situation needs to be fixed ASAP by NCL! (Not a single person working on pier.) Welcome to “island time”. It’ll take weeks, if not months, to get engineers to inspect and design a repair and then Belize officials to sign off. Then it’ll take more weeks/months to get the materials. Then more weeks/months to get crews to actually implement the fixes. It took damn near 2 and a half years to build the suites on GSC, and that’s a revenue-producing item. Non-revenue items like this are less important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love my butler Posted March 11, 2020 #23 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Not to mention they anchor at least a mile out so the tender ride is 10-15 minutes alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janerd Posted March 11, 2020 #24 Share Posted March 11, 2020 We were at HC last Wednesday and it was still tendering. We stayed onboard and so did a lot of other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincicruisers Posted March 11, 2020 #25 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) We tendered on the Escape last week. We had no problem with the tender.
