DMS_1115 Posted June 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Leaving on the MAGIC JUNE 30th. We dont have a tour booked in Belize or Cozumel. In COzumel we always go to Senor frogs and bars like that, have a blast. DOes Belize have anything that resembles this. I hate staying on the boat in port. Open to any suggestions. If their is beach areas that would work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YadaYadaJodi Posted June 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I would like to know what the drinking age in Belize is also. Cruising with my DD who will be 1 month shy of 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdmlynek Posted June 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I think that outside of the Muslim countries and the US, the drinking age is 18. Personally, I am not sure why anyone in Belize would care if you are of drinking age. Why would they care how old you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhenderson2 Posted June 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I have been to Belize a couple of times and we always go to The Wet Lizard. When you dock from the tender, if the ocean is at your back walk to the left until you run into it. It it not very far. You can't miss it. The bar is upstairs. It is not as wild as Senor Frog but the food and drinks are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bars can loose their licence just like in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YadaYadaJodi Posted July 14, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Thank you! Wet Lizard's it is! Is it safe to walk for a 52 yr old woman & 20 yr old "girl" by themselves? Going cave tubing first, then like to get back close to ship (especially in Belize, especially w/tendering) before doing anything else. So not sure if anyone else will be walking that way at the same time we would be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20 year can order any drink she wishes. :D The Legal Drinking age in Belize is 18. LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk22 Posted July 14, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Went to Belize in May and just shopped around, then our group met up at the Wet Lizard and none of us were impressed - pretty small place and nothing special; got drinks and nachos (stale chips). On our way back to the tender dock saw Fat Tuesday and that place looked like it would have been more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually am too brave for my own good but tend to me more careful when DD is with me.

On our way back to the tender dock saw Fat Tuesday and that place looked like it would have been more fun! DD and I had too much fun at Fat Tuesday in Cozumel 2 yrs ago - at least she did. I was careful to look out for her-besides I was able to drink onboard the ship. Will keep FT in mind too.[/quote] Thank you both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 15, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Went to Belize in May and just shopped around, then our group met up at the Wet Lizard and none of us were impressed - pretty small place and nothing special; got drinks and nachos (stale chips). On our way back to the tender dock saw Fat Tuesday and that place looked like it would have been more fun! Obviously, each to his/her own. But FT's is a corporate cookie cutter place in nearly every port of call and the only really "fun" thing is the giant cowboy boots, the donkey's etc. there for your pictures--for which when you get home you can't remember which port was the 6 guns and which was the giant hat. Yes WL, upstairs, is relatively small inside (there is an on-the-pier tent annnex) and the covered deck isn't expansive, plus nachos aren't what you order there (conch fritter,meat pies,and cold Belkins). But the place has a bit of character, is locally owned and ran, and the graffiti is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsalljimmysfault Posted July 16, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Has anyone used the WL for their beach excursions?http://www.thewetlizard.com/tours/ Interested in the answer....I was just gonna ask the same thing! Would maybe like to go to Bannister Island but not neccessarily on a ship excursion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Has anyone used the WL for their beach excursions?http://www.thewetlizard.com/tours/ They act as a clearing house for some local operators. DW and SIL went through WL last year for a Shark Ray Alley snorkel excursion to Caye Caulker. There was a bit of confusion and delay on the part of the actual excursion provider, nothing on WL's part. WL reached out and help get things right and get the tour started.

That was my impression so far in my research. Note if you go to the Coral Breeze website you will see the WL logo with a link to them.

You can buy a 6-er at the store on the dock and bring it back. (there are several different varieties-get Belikin Premium for him) They might not let you take it to your cabin, but if the ship will stow it for you until the last night, it'll be fine. Otherwise try to sneak it on. Also a good gift in One Barrel Rum, only made in Belize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
