Boarding the Tenders
This picture shows them loading two tenders at the same time. That's the first time we've
noticed this happening on a cruise ship. They also seemed to be sending passengers down a
stairway from a deck above the loading platforms. The passengers were plenty perturbed about
the handling of disembarkation at ports-of-call, particularily where tenders were involved.
Have you ever had to stand in line with 2000 people in order to get a tender ride to shore?
Usually they will have the tour groups meet at some location on the ship then escort the group together
to get off the boat and load on the bus or tender. This bunch just told people what time to meet their
tour on the pier. As it turned out with the Bora Bora Tours, many in the first groups missed their
tours entirely.
Sun Princess arrived a little late, and that made everything run late, and caused a lot of confusion.
