Tendering means the ship is not able to dock at a pier - it drops anchor a short distance off shore. The "tenders" are the boats that transport people to shore in small groups. There are a number of them for each ship, depending on size of ship and they run continuously between the ship and the dock/port all day .There is a priority system for disembarking on tenders in which people who have booked shore excrusions are allowed to disembark first. The tenders hold a fair number of people - often as many as fifty. We tend to eat breakfast late and never had to wait for one - we just walked down after the borading byt group numbers had taken place and were able to hop right on.
