bannister island canceled will it be replaced

[clearwater10]

I know ccl has canceled the bannister Island beach excursion. Does anyone know if all private tours for bannister are canceled as well. And do you know if ccl will maybe replace it with Caye Caulker. We are cruising June 28th on Valor and wanted just a beach and shoppin excursion. We don't snorkel, dive or want to do the tubing or ziplining. But we do want to be safe. What do you think?

From what I have searched and read it looks like the Island is currently closed because of the investigation . Carnival is probably being cautious too, to protect the safety of their passengers.

Maybe once it opens back up and Carnival deems it safe hopefully it will be offered again. Sure hope so for this is a wonderful Island get away.

I am sailing on Sunday with Carnival Valor. They cancelled this because of the incident two weeks ago. I was just in communication with Eco Tours and they told me that as of last Sunday, the island is back open and excursions are going there. We are booked with them for a beach only for 3.5 hours. They are charging $35.00 - Hope this helps.

It's www.belizecavetubing.com and their email is cavetubing@yahoo.com. They got right back to me. They also said that NCL was running excursions and their is security all over the island. The newspaper said this was an obvious robbery in the middle of the night. Good luck!
