Does anyone know if I can use two separate NextCruise certificates for booking one cruise? I have two for $200 each. They are both past the time where I can get the onboard credit. They both have to be used by August 2024. Can I apply them as $400 to a cruise I want to book for summer?

The tenders don't have set times.  They do not publish a schedule that says "Tender will leave ship at 15 minutes past the hour and return at 45 minutes past the hour".
Rather they operate tenders as they fill up.  If a tender boat reaches capacity they send it.  When another tender boat reaches the ship, they send the one currently filling up to make room to receive the incoming tender boat.  At times during high demand they fill up quickly and there could 3 tenders heading towards shore at the same time.  At slower times they'll pull some boats out of the rotation and use fewer tender boats.  It's a dynamic process without set times.  
Overnight in Maui is unique for tendering.  What they did this past September was to use the ship's tender boats until 10pm.  The crew had been on duty for a long day by this point.  At that point they hired a local boat to operate the overnight tendering service so that crew could rest.  The local boat operator used one boat all night long.  It would go to shore, drop guests, pick up any incoming guests and return to the ship.  The ride and process of moving guests off and on that boat takes roughly one hour to execute one round trip.  This can vary slightly since a full boat takes longer for passengers to move off or on, an empty tender at 3am would run slightly faster times.  So the one hour loop time is not cast in stone, it could be as long as 70 minutes or it could be as short as 50 minutes.  It's dynamic.

We will be porting in Maui Hawaii on October 10, 2022. The Lahaina port calendar  says the Quantum ports on that day there so I am assuming that is the correct port to schedule any excursions. We are there 2 days, overnight of the 10th. Anyone sailed and ported there overnight? If so could you come and go as you wished? Did it require tender ever? We are looking at doing a sunrise tour that would require leaving the ship around 230 AM. TIA

I will do my best to remember. If I don’t, feel free to PM me or post a reminder 👍🏼  I will say that the concierge emailed the entertainment schedule and it is not on there (but that doesn’t mean it is impossible for it to be added back).

Our Genie said we would not have Hairspray next week.   I think they’re aiming for May.  

Please keep us posted if it's on your sailing this weekend. I'm on Symphony on April 30 and will be so upset if it's not on! Fingers crossed! Thanks!
