When we were getting off the Island Princess for the Lahaina port, we had priority tendering because of our excursion. Our tickets said to meet in the Princess theatre at 7:45am and we were escorted as a group to the tenders. So it wasn't a problem for us.
If we didn't have an excursion booked through Princess, we would have just waited an hour or two as we usually do and then try to get a tender. Often by that time, the lines have thinned down.
When we were through with the snorkeling trip, we had a couple of hours left before we needed to return to the ship. So we checked out a couple of shops near the pier, looked at the Banyon tree, and took some photos. Then we got in line for the tender back to the ship. We definitely wanted to allow at least an hour because we figured the line would start getting long at that point.
When we were there it was in the upper 70s so it wasn't stifling hot. But I'm wondering if the person in that first review expected to get off the ship right away and that colored his review. I can't imagine the process being a disaster when they do this every other week.
