cruiser fanatic Posted February 19, 2015 #176 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Between the miserably long tender ride and the condition of the area immediately around the cruise terminal, I'm actually surprised major cruise lines port there and associate their brand with it Exactly!! I love Roatan but I will not sail on that itinerary because of Belize! Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel itinerary is much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted February 19, 2015 #177 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Totally agree with you about the Lido desserts. They look wonderful but always seem to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscus Posted February 19, 2015 Author #178 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Exactly!! I love Roatan but I will not sail on that itinerary because of Belize! Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel itinerary is much better! I remember Jamaica being the same kind of port as Belize just without the tender. That was when I was like 14 though, so it's been a little while since I've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscus Posted February 19, 2015 Author #179 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Totally agree with you about the Lido desserts. They look wonderful but always seem to disappoint. Even the cookies let me down! They're so crunchy...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamscckmc Posted February 19, 2015 #180 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I agree about the cookies. I was on the Pride the last time in May and didn't care for the small hard cookies. The only good cookies you had to pay for at the coffee bar. Missed those warm soft chocolate chip cookies on RC and Princess. I did think the pizza was the best of any cruise ship I've been on. Also love the 24hr ice cream and looking forward to Guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, my wife can usually find a decent slice of cheesecake somewhere on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petesweet Posted February 19, 2015 #188 Share Posted February 19, 2015 What a fabulous review. Love your attitude!!! We are on the Pride for the first time since 2.0 for the March 15 repositioning. I can't wait. Welcome to Cruise Critic, Lisa. My friend and I will be on the repositioning cruise as well. Pop in on our crazy roll call and get a warm welcome. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=45653184&posted=1#post45653184 Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesweet Posted February 19, 2015 #189 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The place we went do did also offer zip lining along with all the animal interactions, but I cannot remember the place's name, and none listed ring a bell (although it could be one of them, I just can't remember). As crewsweeper said, the easiest way to find it is to book a Victor Bodden tour and request the $10pp one instead of the $5pp one. He might also just tell you if you email him, I don't know. From your description, it must have been Vic Bodden's personal little attraction. I had a group signed up with him and then had to cancel myself out, so I missed it.

Kathy I know for sure it wasn't Bodden's monkey attraction, that one is $5 pp, the one we did was $10pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscus Posted February 19, 2015 Author #193 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I might have lied. Got called into work early and will probably be here late. Ahhh, the life of a supervisor the week after a 7 day vacation. Also, it's 15 degrees outside in Atlanta, this time last week, I was complaining because it was 90 degrees and 100% humidity in Honduras. I think I'd prefer the latter right now.

We didn't go in the water in Belize, but all 4 of us were from Atlanta, and never found any of the water cold. The chilliest was Grand Cayman, and that water felt amazing to me. And there were a few movies me and my wife would consider good playing, but we never saw any of them. They were either terrible (Ride Along/Grown Ups 2) or we'd seen them too many times (Fault In Our Stars/Guardians of the Galaxy). Also, I've been married for almost a year now. I think I would've remembered getting engaged on this trip...Maybe I was a little more drunk at Mr Sanchos than I thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
