Belize Tender?

[jessed]

I see it calls for crappy weather in Belize next week and was wondering what stops them from tendering in - the rain or the wind? What I'm saying, if it is rainy and no wind, do they still go in?

The most common cause for tender cancellation is choppy seas making boarding and exiting the tenders dangerous. Last time we were in Belize it was drizzling and the tenders were running.

We were in Belize in October...raining cats and dogs...virtual downpours at times...we still tendered in as the seas were not choppy...

same here in jan 07 was raining but tenders still running

In June raining cats, dogs and bald headed babies and we still tendered. The seas were choppy as well and a few folks were a bit green when we docked.

 

I think it has to be VERY BAD before they don't tender.

We were there a month ago...they halted our tender operation for an hour and a half due to winds. It wasn't raining at the time, but it had been raining that morning and proceeded to drizzle the rest of the day. Carnival cancelled their water excursions, and we missed our excursion because of the delay. I'd suggest a backup plan for Belize if you have a water excursion planned..... I wished I'd research some sort of tour or trip to the ruins so our day to Belize wasn't wasted on the Port.

Yes, its the wind...not the rain.

I read somewhere that if you tender into Belize, you are given a time to tender back to the ship. I'm wondering if I can tender back into the ship anytime I want, such as to go get lunch or drop off things that I bought while in port, or are you only allowed to go back at that time they gave you? Are you considered stuck in Belize until that time arrives? If you are allowed to tender back early, can you still go back to port on another tender if you wanted to?

This isn't true. Like any other port, you can come and go as you wish. I've done just what you said - gone out and came back for lunch and went out again. The Belize tender is on the longer side though - about 15 minutes.

Ignore the weather reports. The weather report for almost all of the Caribbean is the same 365 days a year, unless a hurricane is heading that way. Partly cloudy with a 30 - 40 % chance of rain.

i talked to chris jefferson about this on the Valor and he said it always seems to be rainy in Belieze and as long as the sea is not choppy they will tender....
