I was on the Glory in September and we stopped in Belize. Of all the ports we visited this was the one I was most excited about and also the one that I was most disappointed with after arriving. The boat anchors a couple miles from the city and you have to take a tenor.....it only took a couple minutes to get to shore though. We decided not to do an excursion b/c we didn't want to spend the money....big mistake. There are only a few shops to visit and they have all the same "touristy" stuff. We decided we would wander around the city on our own so we started walking and noticed that the there was a huge fence surrounding all the stores and it was a little scary looking on the other side of the fence......we decided it was probably a bad idea so we were back on the boat after about 45 minutes. I highly recommend that you do some type of excursion here so you don't waste your time. Same goes for Progreso which I assume you'll be going to also.

[QUOTE="cruisin, post: 726502"] I was on the Glory in September and we stopped in Belize. Of all the ports we visited this was the one I was most excited about and also the one that I was most disappointed with after arriving. The boat anchors a couple miles from the city and you have to take a tenor.....it only took a couple minutes to get to shore though. We decided not to do an excursion b/c we didn't want to spend the money....big mistake. There are only a few shops to visit and they have all the same "touristy" stuff. We decided we would wander around the city on our own so we started walking and noticed that the there was a huge fence surrounding all the stores and it was a little scary looking on the other side of the fence......we decided it was probably a bad idea so we were back on the boat after about 45 minutes. I highly recommend that you do some type of excursion here so you don't waste your time. Same goes for Progreso which I assume you'll be going to also. [/QUOTE]
