Bannister Island

[cruizinmimi]

For those that have been to Bannister Island while on a RCCL cruise ship.....Is this a ship's excursion only or can you book independently at the Belize port. I just want to enjoy the private island and not do the snorkeling and manatee swim.

 

Does anyone know the price, if booking independently?

You can book indepently through Coral Breeze's. Bannister Island without the snorkleing addition is $50.

Anyone know if its true that there is a Bannister Island tour that will pick you up from the ship (Legend) that will take you directly to Bannister Island so you dont have to tender in from the ship?

I read a couple recent reviews that tell of leaving straight from the Legend. I'll post a link for one of them (Belize starts at bottom pg 3) Note: They booked the excursion through Carnival.

Yes, the CCL Barrier Reef Snorkel with Beach Break. Just did it on the 8/28 sailing of the Legend.

For those of you who have gone, was it worth it?
