Cruisereckoning - the tenders were supplied by the ship first thing in the morning and then some catamarans from local companies started ferrying the passengers. Yes the waits could be long getting back on the ship but that was because they were waiting to get a full catamaran which holds much more people in comfort than the ships tenders. We had no complaints with this.

It is written all through your contract and on the online check in, that it is in USD. Every Celebrity ship is the same.

I’ve seen comments in the last couple weeks regarding waits getting a tender to get back on the ship. Was this tenders supplied by the port or was it tenders off the ship?

Didn't enjoy as much as the previous cruise on the same ship.

Another wonderful cruise on the Solstice
