There is only 1 nonstop form Louisville to Miami on AA on Apr 25th. If something happens to that flight you will have to connect in Charlotte, Dallas or Chicago (assuming there is room on those flights.). I just looked at the AA website and the prices on the 24th are about the same as the 25th so I don't really see where you are getting a $300 savings by going in on the 25th. There is a 6pm and a 8pm flight that connects in Charlotte for only $10 more that departs on the 24th and they get in late on the 24th.

If we fly out the 24th, we can't leave until late, late at night because of my husband's job. Louisville is about 90 mins. from us, so we would have to leave from Lexington on the 24th, and that airport is significantly higher.

Thank you for your help and research. I personally think $300 is worth the peace of mind to fly in the night before.

You have left way to much info missing to give any kind of real answer.

Where are you flying from?

Flying from Louisville, KY.

What time of year are go wanting to do this?

As I stated, we depart 4/25/15

Is this the only flight per day?

No

What happens if your flight is delayed or cancelled? Would that $300 be worth it to miss your cruise? Airlines have cut capacity, so if something happens are you still going to be able to get to Miami on time. But in the end only you can decide if saving $300 is worth the risk.

I'm going to tell you what you want to hear. Should be no problem, have a great cruise. :)

You don't have to tell me what I want to hear. Otherwise, I would not have asked. :)

We are set sail on the Breeze from Miami on 4/25. We can save over $300 by flying the day of the cruise, rather than the night before. Normally, we don't do this; however...

We can get a non-stop flight departing at 7:30AM and landing in Miami around 10:30AM.

Given those facts, do you think this is risky?

They cannot be trusted. I used them to book for a Belize excursion last year, and after having a bad experience and explaining to them that they were not being truthful about what they were offering, did nothing for me. Luckily I used a credit card to book and was able to dispute the charge.

To really do Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley you have to fly to San Pedro. The tours that do Cay Caulker do provide a shark and ray experience, but it's not really Shark Ray Alley... In Belize the best trips are more money, but don't make the mistake I did when I booked with shore excursioneer and ended up with Splashwave Tours.

Which other tour goes to starfish point? Do any other tours provide free pictures?

You have to go with Aquarius and Capt Mario. They provide pizza for lunch, pictures, and a visit to starfish point, which other tours don't provide. Was a true highlight of our recent cruise.

Do not use Belizeexcersions .biz or shoreexcersioneer to book any trip. They do not have truthful information about their tours and then after being scammed by booking a tour that was not provided or offered will not provide any customer service.

Do not use Shore Excersioneer or Spalsh Wave Tours for any trip or excersion. I was lied to about the trip we booked and then while given a discount by the tour operator, Shore Excersioneer has given me nothing and does not know the difference between Coral Gardens and Hol Chan Cut.

Do not use Splash Wave Tours, they are not honest in how they do business. I had booked a Hol Chan Cut thru Shore Excersioneers and ended up with Splash Wave, I ended up going on a trip to Cpral Gardens and Shark Ray Alley because I did not have a choice at that point. Dont make the smae mistake.

It is worth it to pay the extra money to go to Hol Chan. Just make sure they dont have fine print that says Coral Gardens, there is a big difference. I booked a cruise to go back to Belize and wanted my wife to experiece Hol Chan, but ended up getting taken to Coral Gardens. Best bet would be to pay the extra money and fly to San Pedro, I learned the hard way and may never get to go back again.

All of the snorkeling will be off the Cayes so you will need to take a boat to Caye Caulker or fly to San Pedro.

Be very aware who you book with, Splash Wave Tours and Coral Breeze are one in the same and are not truthful in where they take you. They may say they are going to Hol Chan, but really take you to Coral Gardens, which is not the same. If you want to best pay the extra money to fly and go to Hol Chan cut and the real Shark Ray Alley.

The cabins are suppose to get new paint and carpet so I am guessing new beds are in order too... I have been apying attention to the news because I am on the May 3rd. Will know for sure this time next week.

We are going to be doing a snorkel trip with a stop on Caye Caulker for lunch. Where is the best place to have a good seafood lunch?

Shore Excursioneer now has a boat trip option for Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley at a good price. If you want very good snorkeling you want to visit Hol Chan.

We were instructed to meet at the airport at 9:30. Walked right on to the flight that took about 15 minutes. Then walked 2 blocks to the snorkel boat. Had about 15 people total on the boat with 4 different guides, so they broke us up into small groups. They did not rush us out of the water at all. When the last person was back on the boat, we moved on to the next stop. When the last person was back on again, we went back to the port. We probably could have stayed longer if we wanted, but we got what we needed out of it. Got back, walked back over to the airport and got the next flight back. Had lots of time to explore the port area. None of us felt comfortable exploring the area on our own, so we were happy to go back.

What was your cost to get to and from the airport?

Do you remember what the cost for the cab to and from the airport, trying to get a total cost for the trip.
