Hi we are starting to plan for out up coming cruise one stop will be Belize and we want to do a snorkeling tour. Reading about Belize it's about a 20-30 minute ride to shore. That means it's at least an hour for the tender boat to drive to port unload passengers and get back to ship for the next group.
My question is: Will they have enough tenders lined up to clear the ship, or will there be a point that all tenders are still heading to shore and we will have to wait until they unload drive back to the ship and get back for the next group?
Those of you who have done it. How long of a wait time did you have? Do we need to get up super early and get in line early to get one of the first tenders or will it go fairly fast? About how many people fit on a tender?
Then follow up question on the return how often to they run? is an every XX minutes thing or will they just sit in port until the boat is full, then head back to the ship?
