Julienatul Posted November 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2009 We will have our DS age 1 and DD age 4 with us. Any suggestions for Belize, Costa Rica or Panama Canal ? They are all new places for us and some I hear are not safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted November 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If you think they aren't safe, why did you book this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2009 For the Panama Canal, if your ship goes into the locks (a partial transit), then there's no need to do any excursion...being on the ship IS the excursion! Panama is HOT, and all excursions last at least 5-8 hours.....too much for a baby, IMO! None of the places that you'll go on your cruise are "dangerous"...at least, no more dangerous than a large city in Fla! There's "danger" everywhere, but as long as you keep your wits about you, and don't become a "stupid tourist", you'll be fine. These places DEPEND on tourism to survive....stick to the "beaten path", and you'll be fine. Book excursions in Costa Rica and Belize...you'll be with groups. No problem. Or, stay on the ship...after all, that's what you paid for...may as well use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dballz Posted November 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2009 We will have our DS age 1 and DD age 4 with us. Any suggestions for Belize, Costa Rica or Panama Canal ? They are all new places for us and some I hear are not safe. One of our ports on our cruise next month is Belize. We have a 3 year old and 6 year old and most of the excursions I saw were not child friendly. However, I did see some people say they like the zoo there. Honestly, I think that would be too hot for us because we always like to do something water related so we are staying on the ship when we are in Belize. Here's the link to the Panama Canal port board that I bet people could help you out to recommend child friendly things: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=89 Belize: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=109 Costa Rica: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
