newbiecruiser2009 Posted May 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Right now, I'm thinking that by the time we get to Belize, we are going to be exhausted and I don't think I want to plan anything there. The excursions sound a bit to "adventurous" (sp) for my daughter (8) and son (7) so nothing really appeals to us. We would probably get off the ship - check out the shops in the port and go back to the ship and hang out. IS THIS WRONG? I'm becoming overwhelmed with planning this cruise. We booked it just 6 weeks ago, normally I'm a planner and researcher, but I just don't have the time to do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmer727 Posted May 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2009 There is nothing wrong - with doing NOTHING! There are several little shops right at the dock where the tender will drop you off. Enjoy those- then head back to the ship. Staying on the ship during a port day can be loads of fun - it's not crowded - seems like you have the whole ship to yourself. I LOVE IT! Enjoy.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecruiser2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Thanks Kimmer727. We go to WDW world every summer and we stay for a week and only do 2 parks during that week (gasp). We just love the hang around the resort, so swim, eat, eat and eat somemore LOL But this somehow feels different. I'm already tired from all this planning. This is supposed to be a vacation:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFunCruiser Posted May 17, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2009 There probably won't be too many people on the ship that day, so enjoy it! The shops stink, almost every shop has the same stuff in it. Not much else to do at the port. BTW, it's a tender port, aboout 3 miles from shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFunCruiser Posted May 17, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I just wanted to add that Belize has some excurions that aren't offered anywhere else, unique IMO. Maybe you can stay on the ship another day. Not many ships visit Belize, even the zoo is a unique one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy53 Posted May 17, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2009 WE did the cave-tubing in Belize and it was great. I heard the zoo was great also. How many times will you get to Belize. There's the typical shops when you get off the ships then nothing else. Book the zoo for your kids they would enjoy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_L Posted May 18, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Take a walk around the shops and then go up to the Wet Lizard (on the second floor between terminals 3 and 4 and have a Belikin beer, some conch fritters and watch the people and the water.

Ron, this is exactly what we will do. I even "pasted" your response on my personal itinerary so I will have it word for word, in Word. :) I've read your fabulous review and completely trust your judgement.

JustaCoupleCruisers Posted June 1, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This sounds wonderful Ron! My husband and I have been looking for some port/excursion information for Belize and Roatan and this 'mild' day of Belize sounds like it's just enough! I've been 'cruising' the Ports of Call and I appreciate the information. This way I can visit some of the shops, enjoy a beer (my husband is a craft brewer himself) and not have to worry. Thanks again for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UandMe4Ever Posted June 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hi, would you know if they have 'carriage' rides at the dock for some nice sightseeing and the prices (not through NCL). It will also be our last port day and I'm sure we'll be tired also. Just thought something simple as looking around at the vendors and/or a carriage ride. Any info is greatly appreciated and TIA... PS going 10-30 Jewel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy.:D Thanks for mentioning it is another "Tender Port"...Guess like Samana..no problem. What about Roatan? Is that tendered as well? Thanks, much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted June 3, 2009 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Take a walk around the shops and then go up to the Wet Lizard (on the second floor between terminals 3 and 4 and have a Belikin beer, some conch fritters and watch the people and the water. That was my idea of Belize, with a venture over the swing bridge to JamBel Jerk chicken! However, DW had other plans spelled X-u-a-n-a-nt-u-n-i-c-h:rolleyes: . I did get to have a Belkin at Hodes in San Ignacio so all wasn't lost:) But what does newbiecruiser do with the kiddies while they're scarfing conch fritters and swilling Belikans?
