Actually I think that it was Judy (who is no longer going

) I know that you only have to take a water taxi from the harbor to the beach, but maybe someone here has done this before and has experience.
Couple of things I went to Cabo with Princess cruises and the tenders were far larger than this, picture above thats a water taxi, I remember some of the boat trip shore excusions actually docked with the Magics tender doors.
Secondally we had tendering twice on the recent Med trip, it does add time but its a well organized operation. The boats could take maybe 100+ people and you go to the Buena vista theater and get a tender ticket,one for each person in your group so you must turn up together, you would go to the rleft hand entrance to the theatre and get a ticket, then fill up the rows from the back of the theatre forwards, they would take you down row by row, they were using kids club CM's to walk you down.
DCL always says it will get its own organized excursions off first, but I was early on both of our tender days and we were of very quickly indeed they would work how much seats were available on each tender with people on shore trips and so not to mix up tours they called that amount down for people going it alone.
In the mornings its good as they run a number of boats during the afternoon they cut these down an the issue is waiting for tenders to fill up before they go, so more worries about booking Palo dinner after a tender day rather than getting off.
Cabo should be better I think it leaves at 4.30pm.
You get a note about tendering with the navigator the evening before.
Last time the Magic missed cabo due to high seas, on the e/bound repo.
In the morning we had three maybe four tenders in the afternoon it was two only.
