FOB Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Currently have 6 cruises booked and trying to work out if it is worth purchasing the key for any of them. I can do without internet so the big bit for me is early tendering slots if I am not on an RC excursion. Difficulty I have is I can’t find out which ports are tendering ones And before anyone says “ it’s on your invoice” I have checked all 6 invoices for this year and neither them nor the two from last year show which ports are tendering (and that includes ports like Portofino and Santorini where there is no docking option). Photo is of one of the invoices for last year I also can’t find anything obvious on the RC website TIA for your help, Fiona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't no about Mykonos but Civitavecchia, Turkey, and Athens are docked. We were docked at Palermo. Again, check compass for similar itinerary. The ports link on website might have something.

Sharla Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I can't find your specific cruise without more to go on but I can see if it's docked or tendered on the travel agent site. Your agent should be able to send you that info. Here is an example: Mon 22Jul2024 Athens (Piraeus), Greece - 5:00 PM Boarding Tue 23Jul2024 Mykonos, Greece 7:00 AM 8:00 PM Tendered Wed 24Jul2024 Chania, Crete 7:00 AM 5:00 PM Docked Thu 25Jul2024 Argostoli, Greece 9:00 AM 7:00 PM Docked Fri 26Jul2024 Cruising - - Cruising Sat 27Jul2024 Kotor, Montenegro 7:00 AM 5:00 PM Tendered Sun 28Jul2024 Split, Croatia 7:00 AM 5:00 PM Docked Mon 29Jul2024 Ravenna, Italy 5:00 AM - Departure WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOB Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 Thanks folks but I know which ports were tendered on that cruise as we took it last summer (as I said in my original post). I am trying to find out for the cruises I am due to take this year which are not on “standard” itineraries but are on trans pacific and trans Atlantic.

Sharla Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Right- if you ask your travel agent they can see it on their end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go to Royal's website, and search for your cruise as if you were going to book it. When you click "view itinerary" it will show the ports, what hours you are in port, and if it is tendered. I just tried this by searching for all transpacific cruises and testing a few. The info is there. AlohaLivin and ChessE4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 And we were just on a 700 pax ship in French Polynesia which tendered almost everywhere. We docked in Papeete and Raiatea, which can handle ferry-sized ships. But Key makes sense only if 3rd party excursions are cheap enough or internet essential.
