Eric,
Ross is absolutely correct about side excursions. Yes everyone has their "fears" of the what if something goes wrong scenario. If you want to get the best experience possible, do your own excursion. Who is reputable? Do your homework as Ross said. There are several cruise ship posting boards out on the internet that provide a great means of receiving feedback. Ask for information and you will get a lot of good information. I saw in this thread someone discussing a good experience with Reggie's tours in Belize. I see the same on other boards. In Belize we used Coral Breeze (www.coralbreezelimited.com) for a snorkeling and sightseeing excursion. We got their information off of a cruise ship board. They gave us a great day to remember about Belize. We got back to the ship ON TIME and laughed when we heard all the complaints about the crowds of people from the ship sponsored tours. Sometimes you just have to live on the edge if you really want to enjoy living. Even though this isn't really living on the edge. Imagine if a tour operator messed up a group of cruise ship passengers...do you think anyone would ever use them again?
Good luck.....and do you homework young man or their will be no cruising for you tonight : )

[QUOTE="stanW, post: 698217"] Eric, Ross is absolutely correct about side excursions. Yes everyone has their "fears" of the what if something goes wrong scenario.

There are several cruise ship posting boards out on the internet that provide a great means of receiving feedback. Ask for information and you will get a lot of good information.
