one private tour "company" idea option which I did not mention in my thread that I have seen from others is go to playa palancar and hire someone from there for about $35US taking you to palancar and columbia reefs about 1.5-2hrs of course would need to remember to factor in RT cab fare to the playa as well

"Which tour for Most Snorkel Time and Value for experienced snorkler?"

It depends on which carnival ship as they dock at different ones based on availability, etc

noticed somebody provided the following website recently which post current week's schedule

Help needed.

Solo travelling Experienced Snorkler wondering who to go with. (I have been to over a dozen countries snorkeling of many good spots and hours.)

Seems the NCL Sun is competitive with the local tour companies this time on the 3 reef tour at $59pp 3.5hours

To where the Tour companies are about $65+ which does not include $20+ RT cab ride for 4-4.5hours. (Have not inquired on avail, but travel date is 19Dec)

Both include water, snacks and most include unlimited beer (not full bar).

Which one to go with for more snorkeling time? They probably both go to el cielo, but my interest in that and the partying will be short in comparison to my interest in snorkeling.

Also I am aware that the Tour companies will be smaller boats meaning less potential of kicks to the face.

Is the cruise tours on cattlemorans to where you have to have a buddy, follow the leader and never vear off course?

Not been there yet, so an outsiders point of view would lean to the cruise tour which is $20+ less and only 30mins less.

Your advice please. Thank you

will be 4 ships in and 10k+ people on my date

Does the Caye Caulker Water Taxi and/or San Pedro exprss back to Belize City ever fill up and refuse passengers? Or do they quickly have another boat(s) waiting? (Guess same question could apply from BC to CC)

Does a roundtrip ticket guarantee a seat for a specified return time?

Seems the 130 return is the only option given my ship departure
