Grand Cayman - esoteric escort's Rating: 4.0

GRAND CAYMAN: At this port, we selected "Sting Ray City" our guides were very professional. The boat in good order and condition and they provided the snorkle, mask and fins. They also provided drinks such as water, lemonade, punch, etc. This was an opportunity to go out and actually swim with the stingrays, in the ocean, not in a tank. Our reservations were made with SHORETRIPS.COM and I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to do this adventure. If you drink beer.....Try some of the local brews, you'll be glad you did. RECOMMEND: YES!!!

Roatan - esoteric escort's Rating: 5+

ROATAN: This was the adrenaline rush of the cruise. ZIP LINE! All I can say is, WOW! Again, guides were professional and always conscientious of safety. After Zip Line we spent time on the beach. Beaches are very clean and water clear. Again, Try the local beer(s) Recommend: YES! SOUTH SHORE CANOPY TOUR

Belize City - esoteric escort's Rating: 4.0

BELIZE: We hit Belize on their Independence Day, September 10th. It was interesting to see how the native folk displayed their pride, flags flying from cars everywhere. This port we selected the ATVing and CAVE TUBING. There was a girl in our group who was celebrating her 40th birthday and the guides did a little extra for her which we all thought was pretty cool. They passed around a bottle of Cashew Wine (sample cups, not straight from the bottle) and then gave what was left to the birthday girl and she finished it off while the whole bus chanted "CHUG---CHUG---CHUG", it was about 1/4 of the bottle and she did well with it. We all sang "happy birthday" a couple times and then the guides presented her with a Tshirt signed by each of them. I give this one a "4" rating, because when ATVing in the jungle they had us much too close together. You would sometimes have to stop and wait for those ahead of you. It was fun and enjoyable, just a little too crowded. The cave tubing was very relaxing but be aware, there is quite a hike from where you get off the bus (or whatever) to the actual put-in point. This trip was very memorable. Belize has one brand of beer they call their own, brewed in Belize. It was very good. Don't miss the opportunity to try one....or FOUR!

recommend: YES! CAVE-TUBING.COM (there is a "dot NET" out there too, do not be confused) Only those who go Cave Tubing will know....but I say to you all: "BUTTS UP!!" BELIZE IT!

Cozumel - esoteric escort's Rating: 3.0

COZUMEL: At this port we selected Dolphin Discovery (thru SHORE TRIP.COM) It was fun and interesting but was a little disappointing. They had told us that after we were introduced to the dolphins and photos were taken, that we would have free time to swim with them, this did not happen and I was disappointed. The next thing was back to port where the shopping is obviously thier major source of income. RECOMMEND: so-so. It was OK, but nothing overly exciting.
