What time for Tender in Grand Cayman

[shafke]

We have booked Dolphin & Stingray City in Grand Cayman for 10:15 am.
This appears to be a tender port with all ashore at 10:30 am.

- What time would we meet for the tender? I would assume those who have booked an excursion through DCL would be part of the initial tender groups.
- Is the 10:15 time when to meet or when the tender departs?

As I recall when we were in Grand Cayman, the tour time for DCL tours is the time you were showing at the theater to get grouped together before going to the tender, not the time your tour group would be on the tender.

That was our experience as well on the WBPC cruise in Feb./March.

Great.. ty for the quick reply. It is always helpful to know what to expect ahead of time.

The listed time for an excursion is always the time you are required to be at the meeting place with your KTTW, your ID and all the members of your party. A meeting time of 10:15 probably means you will be on the first tenders after the ship is cleared at 10:30.

there are multiple tenders running to get everyone onshore for port adventures and other excursions

People with tours booked through DCL get priority on the tenders. You'll get a ticket in your room for the excursion and it will tell you where and when to meet. You should arrive there 10-15 minutes ahead of your meet time. It's more than likely going to be in one of the theatres. You'll check in at a table at the entrance, they'll tell you where to sit and then they'll lead your group and other groups down to the tender - you don't need to worry about what time to get on it. Other people who want to get on early tenders go to the theatre and wait until the priority groups have been led down and will be given a ticket in order of arrival and will get on that or the next tender depending on how much space there is versus numbers of people in excursion groups and with tickets. Later in the day, you just go down and get on the tender - no tickets required.
