Does anyone have any suggestions on which shore tours to take on this cruise? I have been looking at the cave tubing tour in Belize, has anyone taken this tour? Also, any advise on the Cozumel or Merida tours? Any advise would be great, this is going to be my first cruise.


Thanks

Lots of people have taken and loved the cave tubing in Belize. Do a search on this sight for past posts and check the review sections. Some favorites in Cozumel can be done on your own-Chankanaab Park, Playa San Francisco and Mr. Sanchos. In Merida we rented a van with driver. There were 6 of us at a cost of $90. Most drivers speak no English. The translator at the pier will tell the driver where you want to go and what you want to do. He dropped us off in a parking lot in the middle of town. We had arranged with the translator to meet him there in 2 hours. We saw the government house, went in a Catholic cathedral (we happened to be there the day before Good Friday so it was lovely for us since we are Catholic) and did a little shopping. My daughter bought a teen magazine which of course was in Spanish and a newspaper to take to Spanish class. Hammocks start at $5 but the good ones are well worth the $25 price tag. We then took the van back to the beach in Progresso where we swam then did some real bargain shopping-$5 bracelets, $2 t-shirts... It is a short walk from there to the lighthouse where you catch the free shuttle to the ship. There is an outdoor market at the shuttle stop.
