Creator's Key Takeaways

Tender ports are ports of call where the water is either too shallow or too narrow for a ship to navigate to appear

it's really important to pay attention to water shuttle information which the cruise line will provide to you usually the night before Port of Call

it can take sometimes up to 45 minutes to Tender to Port so make sure you build in this time when you're booking excursions

when coming back you can never cut it too close with that return to ship time because you have to
