zydecocruiser Posted January 6, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2006 On my recent Grand Princess voyage, Belize City was the second stop. Not sure if we were the first ship there, but we sure got there early. Due to the somewaht strange hours we were there, a ship shore excursion seemed like the best bet. Rays and Reef it was. Gilligan would have been proud. Tour boats and tenders were lined up bright and early for us. The tour left directly from and returned to the ship, so we didn't have to tender at all - good thing as it turned out! Life vests are MANDATORY - not one of my favorite words, but I don't mind. No, you don't have a choice of color... We have arrived at the reef part - Horseshoe I believe they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted January 6, 2006 Author #2 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Pool is OPEN I've been to Belize a few times before, and think this part turned out to be the best snorkeling I have ever done in Belize... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRHMadonna Posted January 6, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2006 :) Awesome Photo review!!!!! Thanks!!! :confused: Do tell...what kind of underwater camera were you using??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted January 6, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I know that's a niece - and she has a rum punch (included) for moi! Pre dance stretching - actually, I think they were playing YMCA. The boat does seem to be going in circles, but I get to see the rich folk's houses again.. Turns out the boat is sort of broken - one engine blown. One to go. I guess instead of chance it getting back, we stay near some landmarks and radio (more likely phone) for help. Rescue boat on the way so time for drinking and dancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizaMM Posted January 6, 2006 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Wow! Your Belize photo review is as wonderful as the one you posted on the Costa Maya board!! Thanks again!! I have a question for you.....have you ever done Goff's Caye Snorkel in Belize??? We were thinking about the excursion you review here and recently changed our minds to Goff's Caye.....WOuld love to know if you have done both and if so your thoughts and of course if you have any photos of Goff's Caye :D You have amazing photos!! Another question....what kind of camera did you use for all of these?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted January 6, 2006 Author #16 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Oh well, guess a photo op for the ship.. er boat! Guess that's all for now, folks ! (of Belize - next up, Grand Cayman) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted January 6, 2006 Author #17 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Nope, have not done Goff's - on the list of todos. Maybe later this year. Camera is a Canon s1 is and I have the waterproof case for. I love the camera BUT it is having problems and I have not even had a year. Can you here me yet, Canon? Anywho... Google for Canon and E18 errors But I do like the camera and I have another Canon as a backup, so do like Canon (and a few other brands). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croozer2005 Posted January 6, 2006 #18 Share Posted January 6, 2006 wow! what great pictures, I'll see if I can get some on my underwater disposable when I'm there - sure they won't compare to yours though! I'm going on the Turneffe Atoll catamaran tour in less than a week, I think it's by the same people that did you shark stingray tour... was it Belize Paradise or Belize Catamarans, these guys: www.belize-paradise.com .?? so glad to see some pictures, I'm delighted I booked it now! gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Pentax and have been thinking about getting the waterproof case for it before I cruise later this month. I am pretty happy with my camera but the recovery time between shots seems to be slow and I am really fond of going "click, click, click" :p I just decided to book Goff's Caye for this trip. I had been strongly thinking about the excursion that you did but we decided on Goff's Caye this time. I'll definetly write a review when I get back and hopefully I'll have some decent photos to post as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zydecocruiser Posted January 7, 2006 Author #24 Share Posted January 7, 2006 There are several ways - I might have one browser window displaying the picture I want to post and another browser window for the actual post and just drag and drop between the two (left mouse click on pic and holding the button down, move the cursor to the post and release button). For example, I can drag and drop the logo... Or if you have the URL to the pic http://www.cruisecritic.com/images/newnavtop-anniversary.jpg You can put between [i m g] http://www.cruisecritic.com/images/newnavtop-anniversary.jpg [/ i m g] {remove spaces in the "img" also to accomplish the same thing.
