How long did you WAIT to get a tender to Princess Cays?
Wondering how long folks are waiting to get a tender to Princess Cays? Our last trip there was on Sea Princess. OK ... we took our time ... but it was NOON before our tender number was called.

We only waited maybe 10 minutes. We took the first boat out. The later ones had long lines.

Just back from an Emerald Princess cruise. We went to the Princess Theater (mid-morning ) where we were seated in rows as we arrived. Then we were called by rows and guided down to the tender. From the time we arrived at Princess Theater until we were on a tender was only about 15 minutes.

Just wondering, how about the tender back? Was it a long line? In the sun?

Ten minute wait to get on, about a half hour in the sun wait to return to the ship. I thought it went smooth, considering almost 2000 took the tenders. Emerald Princess did a great job.

So it might be wise to leave earlier than normal if you don't want to bake in the sun,eh?

DH ask the bartender at the Banana Beach Bar (fun place to be) "last call for alcohol". The took our drinks back to the tender with very little waiting time. The bars tend to pack up early so we beat the rush at the end of the day.

Wondering how long folks are waiting to get a tender to Princess Cays?
The tender process to Princess Cays was very orderly and painless.
No more tasty drinks there so no reason for us to stay anyway!
