CRUZFINDER Posted July 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Haven't been to Belize in a few years. My only time there we tendered in to port. My cruise documents show Belize as a "docked" port. We'll be on the Valor aug 17. Has anyone been on this Western Caribbean run recently? Does the Valor dock or tender in Belize? Thanks in advance.

mom2girls Posted July 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Due to the reef Belize is a tender port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen B1 Posted July 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We tendered at Belize City when we were on the Legend last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted July 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2008 It's probably a 15 minute tender ride as the ship is docked pretty far away from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2girls Posted July 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I should have posted this in my earlier post. Anyway, the reason you tender in Belize is because they don't want to damage the reef that is near Belize. You will notice as you arrive you will be going in what seems like circles. This is because the ship is avoiding the reef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted July 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2008 In 2006, our youngest son called it "Nascar tendering"...because we were in a smaller boat that was really fast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to remember "Nascar" tendering. The little boats really did seem to go fast. I always seem to enjoy the tender ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
