In actuality, the tender isn’t a lavish luxury vessel. It’s essentially a simple transportation vehicle that makes brief visits to shore but lacks the comforts and attraction of the main ship. Furthermore, the tender cosmetically resembles the ship’s lifeboats, which makes sense given that the tender will be used as a lifeboat in an emergency, which can be unnerving to ride in during a routine trip.
