The Water Shuttle Tender boat for our stop in Dublin Ireland was not what we expected.

Our 2nd port of call on our Carnival Cruise was Dun Laoghaire where we had to take a water shuttle to shore before taking a train into Dublin.

With a Tender Shuttle ticket of 3, we thought we would be off the ship quickly in the morning but that didn’t happen. It took three hours before our number was called to take the water shuttle to shore. Then on our return, we had to wait almost 2 hours in line to get on the return shuttle.

We spent more time waiting in lines and shuttling to shore than we did on shore.
