Thanks all, very helpful.   Port forums were great, as was the advice.   And may leave a bit up to chance too!

Hi all!   First off, love this site, great information!   I've read through several posts and have learned a great deal already.

So, we are 88 days away (or so) from our Getaway western Caribbean cruise.   Last night we went through all the excursions for all ports of call.   We are a family of 4, so I'm not looking to spend $400+ every day!   My question is what is there to do when we get dropped off at a port and don't take an excursion?  Norwegian site was not helpful.

I've been to Cozumel, so I know there's the town we can easily walk to, and beach not far also, and probably taxi to take us wherever.   We might do an excursion there anyway.

Roatan and Belize?  No idea.  Are we just dropped off at dock where we can walk to the beach?   Walk to town?   Pay for chairs on the beach (which I'm fine with).  I think I read that people head back to the ship for the free lunch, no idea what I'll do but probably support the locals and eat on the island, probably do some shopping too.

Costa Maya, I think we will do a ruins excursion.

Thanks for any tips or links!
