The Sun Princess Trans-Pacific Voyage: Seattle to Sydney September 23rd to October 24th, 2007 On Board the Sun Princess Boarding the Tender Waiting in the Theater This was the one time they did organizate disembarkation to the tenders for the trip to shore. After a brief wait in the theater they called different groups to move through the ship together to board the tenders. Most of the time they just left it up to people to organize themselves, and that didn't work because everybody wanted to be first in line. The lack of organization was very frustrating to all the passengers, and the biggest criticism of the cruise.

Boarding The Tender Left: Passengers wait their turns to board the tender. Right: Braided rope on the boading platform serves as a bumper.
