Tendering from ship to shore at George Town Harbour

Disembarking the Carnival Vista on a clear October morning, Vicki White was relieved that her bad knee had held up.
She had been worried that taking a tender boat from her cruise ship to George Town Harbour would be hard on her body. But once on shore, she said the boat ride had been a good experience.
“Sometimes you have to kind of crawl up a ladder or something [to board the tender], and this time you just went right in. It was much better,” White said.
The last time White tried to visit Grand Cayman with her husband, Roger, they hadn’t been so lucky. The sea was too rough, and passengers weren’t able to come ashore that day.
“That does happen with the tenders. Can’t help that,” Roger said.
But that day, the wait had been short, and the ride had been smooth.
More than 11,000 cruise passengers arrived at George Town Harbour that morning aboard three cruise ships: Carnival Vista, Carnival Paradise and Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas.
