Our first 2 cruises,we never ate at the dining room, my husband liked to pick up whatever he wanted at the buffets on the Lido deck in whatever attire he chose....on the 3rd cruise I finally convinced him to try the dining room, and after that, we are rarely ate at the buffets....so try to talk your friends into trying the dining room the first ...

We have snorkeled in Grand Cayman on an excursion...it was pretty good, but not as good as snorkeling off of Key West.   When we were in Roatan, we did the Tabyana Beach day....and they have snorkeling equipment there on the beach and you can go out snorkeling in the water right off of Tabyana Beach.  My husband did that and thoroughly ...

My husband reminded me to tell you that after you get out of the populated area around Belize City and out into the country, the 15 or so mile drive to Altun Ha is a one-lane road, with tour buses coming and going in both directions....it was quite a harrowing trip with the buses pulling over into whatever space was available by the side of the ...

Well first I do want to say that the Altun Ha ruins are a great choice for an excursion...the ruins are an interesting site, plus we really enjoyed the drive to the ruins, seeing both the city and the suburbs and surrounding countryside...you will get to see quite a bit of Belize on the way to the ruins and back.  Anytime we stop at a port ...

We will be at Nachi-Cocom on Monday, November 23...I'll let you know when we get back! 

We did the Altun Ha and Belize City Tour through Carnival in May. It was a good tour, and we got back to the pier with about an hour to spare.   I would be a little nervous about doing this with a non-Carnival excursion...the Altun Ha ruins are a lengthy drive through some remote countryside...if the bus breaks down, I'm not sure how ...

I just checked the price for our next cruise on cheap tickets, and it's the exact same price as Carnival...so what's the advatnage of going to cheap tickets???

We cruised on the Legend out of Tampa in May...went to Belize, Roatan and Grand Cayman (missed Cozumel due to the swine flu hysteria).....the Legend is a WONDERFUL ship, and our favorite so far!

We took a Christmas cruise last year to Cozumel and Grand Cayman...it was in the high 80's, and we went snorkeling at both places.  I would guess the coldest place you will be is New Orleans!

We're doing the Panama City tour in 2 weeks...that one is 8 1/2 hours...but I was hoping to see the Canal and Panama City both.
