Hal from Ohio Posted July 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Considering a cruise to Belize in November. Have never visited this port, but appears that all ships are tendered. Would be interested to know if anyone has sailed RCCL Navigator your personal choice for a balcony view. Port or starboard? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted July 27, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2009 since the tender w-a-a-a-y out, your views will be: other ships at tender, small islands or open sea. if your port views are important, choice them from your other docked ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also depending upon the configuration of the pier and the timing of when each ship arrives, your balconey views, or lack thereof, may not be the same for each cruise to the same port on the same ship.

Hal from Ohio Posted July 27, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I didn't realize that the ships tendered such a distance from shore. Certainly not like tendering at Labadee, is it?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bay can be very shallow here and has numerous shoals. The pilot comes on board fairly far out and the ships manuever around quite a bit to get through the one channel leading into port. The anchorage is 1-3 nm out with depths of 20-30 feet to a mud covered bottom clear of shoals. The blue/green water turns latte color when the anchor is raised.
