Getting first tender for Cave Tubing on NCL

[Derek King]

I was hoping someone out there has experience with getting an early tender off of the NCL Pearl to get off quick to go to an independent cave tubing tour.

 

Should we ask someone on the ship? Or just try to sneak on with the boat sponsored excursions?

 

Any help is welcomed.

 

Thanks

Go ahead and gather with the ship's tours. They will be tendered first, but if there is room on the early tenders, you will be allowed to board. We have done the independent cave tours twice, and the truth is that no matter how soon you get to the pier, they will wait until the bus is full before leaving. We have waited up to two hours each time, so do not worry about missing the tour.
