Open Tender Time for Grand Cayman in late August

[AngelDisney]

We will be sailing on the Fantasy in August and arriving at Grand Cayman on August 22. If we will be picked up from the port for a private tour at 1:30 pm, when should we be lining up for the tender boat? When does open tender usually start? Are we able to have lunch at Royal Court before leaving the ship? Thanks in advance for sharing your insights/experiences!

Looking at my information from this past August, tendering for guests without port adventures will being at approximately 10:30 am with a Tender Ticket process in Enchanted Garden. "Please allow 30-40 minuted for this process". If I remember right, we went around 11:30 and just walked through the maze of chairs that was Enchanted Garden and then were brought directly out to a tender boat. There was no line, no waiting, we just had to go through the procedure. I would say it took 15-20 minutes at that time, plus then the tender ride over. Knowing I had a tour booked I would probably allow 45-60 minutes total, just in case, but I'm a worrier.

If that's the case, we should plan to get lunch from Cabanas rather then Royal Court then.
