LibbaK Posted March 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I Will be traveling to Belize on the Carnival Legend in June. I need help picking out an excursion that all of my family will enjoy. My children are 9 and 4. My husband does like to snorkel. As for me I'm not really the athletic or jungle type. I like spending time on the beach. I've looked at the excursion list and I just don't have a clue. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKlew Posted March 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have been posting this everywhere I can, this was the best snorkel trip I have ever been on. This is a 3 part trip, Reef Snorkel, Stingray Snorkel and Beach Break. They actually stop at the beach first to drop off whoever does not snorkel and for a Pit Stop for whoever needs one before snorkeling, then it's over to snorkel the reef AMAZING! then snorkel with the rays a bit and then back to the beach for whatever time you have left. I researched Goffes and Turneffe before going on the trip and those are the cruise Hot Spots, if you want really good relaxing snorkeling with a an asbolutely unbelievable reef this is the trip. We just got back on the Carnival Valor on March 7th. Belize was by far my favorite stop. If your crew is into Snorkeling, this is the place to be. There were seven us on the trip including a 12 and a 13 year old. Having cruised and snorkeled other islands I opted out of the actual Cruise Excursions, the crowded boats and beat up reefs and booked a private trip through http://www.coralbreezetours.com/ after doing alot of research on the web, they stay ontop of the ship and tender schedules and make sure to get you back in plenty of time to get back, No one wants to get stranded on an Island(even though I could think of worse places to be stranded). If your ship cannot port there for any reason they will refund your deposit. They use a tour company their called Hammerhead sports, if you were to book it ask to have Henny, Justin and Mark as your crew. They were absolutely terrific they take great care of everyone on board, they snorkel with you and go out of their way to make sure you see, and know what everything is above and below the surface, the kids loved the stingray snorkel part of the trip too, even though Stingray City in Cayman is better for the rays. I really can't express how impressed we were with them. Whatever you choose to do, I can almost guarantee you will be more than happy you made it to Belize, I can't wait to get back!

mrpayroll Posted March 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Since all stops have beaches, we decided to try Altun Ha ( Mayan Ruins ) Look up island marketing. We like seeing something that is historical instead of a steady diet of beaches. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbanddirectors Posted March 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Altun Ha is a nice excursion to change up from the beaches! We did it our first time there, and might do it again with different travel companions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
