cruisin2000 Posted December 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Has anyone done the "Beach Break" offer by NCL in Belize. How was it and does anyone know what island it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserssandr Posted December 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2007 We will be doing this tour on Jan 31. The tour goes to Bannister Island. Belize is a tender port and once you board the tender it goes directly to Bannister Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher2cruiser Posted January 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2008 We did this tour last week - just returned Sunday. We went to Bannister Island and it was lovely. It was ninety plus degrees, hot and sunny. A great laid back beach day and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseFL Posted January 22, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi: We visited Bannister Beach back in November of 2006 and it is a small very nice island. You can float around on rafts in the water and lounge on the beach. They have a small place to get something to eat (you'll have to pay extra for that). Very enjoyable.

cruisecatkat Posted January 24, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Teacher2Cruiser, what NCL ship were you just on? We are taking the Spirit out of New Orleans in March. I wanted to know if the tour boat picks up from the ship or do we tender to port and then get on the tour boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserssandr Posted January 24, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2008 We are on the NCL Spirit next week and will be doing this tour. The tender takes you directly to the beach at Bannister Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FountainCruiser Posted February 26, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2008 We are planning to take this excursion in April from the Sun. Does anyone know if there is time to get back to the mainland after the tender returns you to the ship from the island. Like the idea of not having to tender to shore in the morning and will get a priority to leave ship on sponsered tour this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pszaffveauhraunne Posted February 26, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 26, 2008 We are planning to take this excursion in April from the Sun. Does anyone know if there is time to get back to the mainland after the tender returns you to the ship from the island. Like the idea of not having to tender to shore in the morning and will get a priority to leave ship on sponsered tour this time. We too are doing this excursion (from the Sun) in early April, and are wondering about the tender frequency. If possible, it'd be nice to pop over to the mainland for a quick visit. Does anyone know if they run tenders back and forth frequently to allow us to leave when we want, or will we be "stuck" (... on a beautiful, warm, tropical beach :D ...) until they decide to pick us up at the end of the day?

thesawch Posted February 27, 2008 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2008 We did sunbeach beach break and snorkled also.We saw dolphins swimming beside our boat on the way to the reef.After we left back to the ship they asked who wanted to go to the dock in belize city.Some got off the boat onto the ship and then they took the rest of us to town.We spent an hour walking around shopping and got on the tender back to the Jewel of the seas with lots of time to spare.I am very glad i went to town to look around for awhile.I also spent another 30 dollar on 5 dollar T shirts.I thought the belize people were the best on all our ports of call.I was to do the cave tubing with major Tom but had to cancell as i broke my foot waiting to get on the cruise ship,It was my fault and not anyone elses.So i could not do the jungle walk to the tubing area.I booked the Sun Beach beach break right from the ship.

JoRoy218 Posted March 1, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2008 We just got off NCL Spirit and took their snorkel/island excursion. Spent about 1.5 hrs snorkeling the reef and then over to the island. LOVED IT! Only downside was that we thought we'd be taken back ashore, but they returned us directly to ship. Keep that in mind if you want to do some shopping in Belize.
