Cruise Ship Terminal in Belize

[CriSyss]

The extended pier in Belize was scheduled to be completed in 2010. Is there a pier now, or are we still tendered to shore ?

Thanks.

Still tendering as of last month.

Will probably always tender to this port. After a few visits not really worth getting off the ship.

This is the only info I have ever seen really beside word of mouth.

Ships have to anchor probably 5-6 miles out. It will have to be one hell of a pier....

The Progreso pier is several miles long. They could do that or they could dredge a channel.

Yeah, but it's doable. The pier at Progreso is 4 1/2 miles long...

Click on nobody000's link and you'll see what was proposed several years ago. Major dredging was involved to create a channel and turn around for the ships.

 

We've been there at least once a year for several years and haven't seen any signs of progress.

Just there in December...tender to town. Long tender ride, about 20 minutes...and they use the boats from town!

This project's sponsors got caught up in the whirlwind of political corruption/backlashing that often occurs in Central American countries. Unless the powers that be have a change of heart/mind/direction/bodies, it's most likely going to be on the shelf for many many years.

Maybe my grandchildren will get to use the pier when they take their grandchildren on a cruise:p

Still tendering as of late last week. Saw no signs of any pier.

WE tendered in Aug on Valor.

[PA Dutchman]

We were told we had to tender that far out because of the coral reefs all around. No way will they mess with that to build a pier for cruise ships to come in and out. 2 weeks ago we did the 10 min vibrator boat ride.

I would put $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that a pier will never happen in Belize City.. Placincia will be a port, probably with a pier.

I'm not going to bet against you on this one.:)

Placencia would be a great cruise port...lots of beaches, near reefs and ruins, closer to Roatan (ships can head toward Punta Gorda and come up from the south without too much shallow reef hinderance). And the Barefoot Bar.:)

They were saying that back when we went for the first time... in 2005. :)
