Which Carnival excursions leave directly from the ship?

[shiloh25]

I am curious if anyone knows which Belize excursions offered by Carnival (and specifically, the Carnival Valor) leave right from the ship without first going to Belize City via tender. I have been to the port and enjoyed it, but it seems that maybe it would be a more efficient use of precious vacation time to head directly to a beach and/or snorkel destination.

 

Thanks for your help!

To get off the ship in Belize, you must take a boat. I am not sure which "boat trips" leave from the dock and which leave from the ship.

 

Hope this helps.

I'm coming to Belize on the Valor. Will be in port from 9 -6. Was planing on taking the water ferry to Caye Caulker and spend the day there. Has anybody done that? Any advice.....Thanks :)

We sailed on the Glory 4/9 and took the Goff's Caye snorkeling tour through the ship. We were picked up right at the ship which was great. I believe all of the snorkeling/diving tours met in a lounge around 8:00 a.m. or so and then we were directed down to deck O from there. It worked out well.

 

As for the post regarding Caye Caulker, I spoke with two ladies on Cozumel the day after Belize and they did Caye Caulker on their own. The problem was that they could not get a tender until 10:30 a.m. since they were not on a tour. It limited the amount of time they had on the Caye but said it was nice. They were upset that they had to wait so long to get a tender.

 

For us, doing the tour right through the ship worked wonderfully. We signed up for the morning tour and were back on the ship by noon. We showered, had lunch on the ship and then took a tender into town.
