I was wondering....
We'll be sailing the Caribbean Princess and stopping in Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios and Cozumel. Does the ship go right to the dock or will be use tenders in any of the ports? Just curious!
It depends on the time they arrive, and how many ships are in port that day!!!! First ships in, dock!!
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Hi Luann, More than likely, you will dock at the pier at Cozumel and Ocho Rios. Grand Caymen will be a tender port. Sue, is right however. If there are several ships in port, you may have to tender at another one.

I would use http://www.cruisecal.com/dnn/ to find out what ships will be in port on the day you arrive. Grand Cayman-as others said all ships tender, Ocho Rios- has space for 3 ships at their docks and Cozumel-all depends on how well they do on replacing docks destroyed in Hurricane. Also berthing assignments are usually assigned a head of time so "First ships in, dock is not always true.

Chances are, since you are on Princess, you will also tender in Cozumel. The only dock that was usable (as of last week) was the one that Royal Caribbean paid to repair...
Thanks for all the answers...guess I'll just wait and see!!
craftinmom ... Trust LuLu!
Ocho Rios, Jamaica -- You'll DOCK!
Grand Cayman -- You WILL Tender! ALL ships tender!
Cozumel -- Because of all of damage from the hurricane, almost all ships now tender. This could change by June....
LuLu ... Visit SOUTH CAROLINA!
