CruiseLover824 Posted March 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Does anyone know why Carnival took this off the excursion list for Belize? I thought maybe they had just taken it off of our excursion list because they weren't pre-selling it anymore. But I looked on the general list of excursions, and its gone completely?!?!? That was what I was planning on doing in Belize.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azkcruizers Posted March 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I don't know why, but here is a vendor to do it on your own with or without snorkeling http://www.ecotoursbelize.com/snorkeling.html#gallows_reef Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsmom Posted March 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm sorry I don't have an answer for your question. I can say that I booked that excursion the last week of February and everything was great. I too would be curious why it is not listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLover824 Posted March 19, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I was hoping that it would be available onboard, but it seems strange that it isn't even on the main shore excursions list on the carnival site anymore. Thanks for the website for the private operator...I will check into that!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted March 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2009 When is your cruise, CruiseLover? If it is still a few months away, it could be that Carnival is still renegotiating with the tour operators, which happens sometimes. Once they get that squared away, the excursion will be on the website again. We did this on our Miracle cruise in March 2006 and had a very nice beach day. The nice thing about doing the excursion through Carnival is that the tour guides will pick you up directly off your ship and take you straight to the Island.....about a 30 minute boat ride. Then, they will drop you off either back at the ship or take you on in to the port after the excursion is over. If you go with a private company, you have to tender to port, which is the opposite direction from the Island. Then, you have to take the boat ride to the Island, which probably would be more like 45 minutes from port. Either way, it is a pretty nice beach with clean bathrooms and a decent little outdoor restaurant. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2girls Posted March 19, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hmmm, I don't know why. I really enjoyed it a few years ago. Last year, I ended up going horseback riding through the jungle. That was also an awesome excursion. I have pictures of it in my Legend review. The lin's in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen803 Posted March 19, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I noticed the same thing and we're leaving next week. I was going to contact Carnival - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTownGirl Posted March 19, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2009 There is a thread about this excursion in the Belize section. Apparently, Carnival did not renew their contract with the tour operator, so it's been pulled. Anyone who pre-paid for this excursion is getting a refund. This was the excursion that we planned on taking in May on our Legend cruise:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
