clearwater10 Posted March 25, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2009 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?

gjsmth Posted March 25, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen803 Posted March 25, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathleen803 Posted March 25, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2009 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!
