It is the same cruise but a slightly different itinerary..:grin.yours is newer..Belize was NOT an option then..but my Boss Lady Dentist went to Belize for 2 weeks last year and she said the snorkeling is top drawer..while the country is very poor ..she said it is lush and beautiful..we just did the local area in Costa Rica...2 of our daughters went there in 1999 for 2 weeks..same lush lovely tropical flowers,gardens etc..we bought coffee and local liquers made there..Yummo! !just strolled into the local town a little..I would have loved to go to the church there but the neighborhood was iffy in Feb 2003..even though DH is a big guy we changed our mind and passed..a cruise excursion by Princess for sites was offered but we had just wanted it slow and easy..the crossing into Gatun Lake was incredible as you know..we loved it..My DH Mark is an engineer so he was riveted on the whole process...have a wonderful trip..hope you have the best cruise ever with the in laws..:daisy..Joanne
