Here’s the part where we got most frustrated with Royal Caribbean. The night before, we were told that if we get in line between 7 and 8 am, we’ll get right on a tender boat to Belize City. This was not the case. We were on line at 7:45 am. There were a couple hundred people waiting by the time we got in line, so the line went up the stairs up to the third level. It was very disorganized with people getting off the elevator and cutting in front of others. Then, in spite of waiting for a while, they let a couple of hundred people who were booked on excursions cut in front of us. It was rather frustrating. So, we didn’t get ashore until about 8:45 am, barely arriving in time for our tour.

We booked Cave Tubing through www.ecotoursbelize.com because we had read some terrific reviews. The rave reviews were well-deserved. Our tour guide Junior was awesome. I highly recommend cave tubing; it’s a once in a lifetime thing to do. You float in a tube through caves with a headlamp on. Then we went for lunch to Amigos, a local restaurant. Once again, you can book through the ship for $89/person, or through any local vendor for $60/person.
