This is a great port. Very clean, very safe. Sting Ray City is a must Do! There is only one so how you get there is up to you. Plenty of non Ship excursions that are cheaper and may have something tied to it. Wife went on the Carnival excursion Dolphin Swim/ Sting Ray City. Just remember if you just want to touch a dolphin do the "encounter" if you want to ride and really interact with then "Swim" needs to be in the title. She loved it. I did a resort course scuba at Diver's Down. Close to the tender dock. Great people. Dove on the Cali shipwreck. 


Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Roatan is nice place. Went Extreme Ziplining with Pirates of the Carribean Canopy. This is a non Carnival excursion. Owned by the Dixon family, this is a top notch facility. Very safe, very exciting. The equipment is well maintained. They also do Island tours. Had a great time. 


Roatan

This is a Tender Port. Boat ride takes 15-20 minutes to get to shore. If you are not on a Carnival Excursion you will have to wait to get to shore.Went cavetubing. Was a fun trip. A little cool, weather wise when we went. Unless the temp is in the mid 80's and or the sun is shining you'll freeze your a** off by trip end. Whatever excursion group you go with, it's the same cave and river. It comes down to do you want yellow innertubes, fancy helmets, life vests, and lights, or black innertubes, no helmets, orange life vests, and ok lights for half the price. We did it thru Belize Cruise Excursions.com for $55.00 per person and included lunch. It was almost twice that on Carnival with no lunch. The question you must ask yourself is a 1 hour bus ride,30- 45 minute walk, with a tube, then 30-45 minute or more wait to get in the water worth the 1 hr. to 1 hr. 20 min. float thru the cave. This took so long we did not get to see or do anything else. 


Belize City

Went shopping and on a Mini Jeep/Snorkel Tour with Sunshine Tours. We booked thru Port Promotions. Tour was great. Mini Jeeps were Yamaha Rhino ATV's. Well maintained equipment. Great tour guides. Try to get Lorenzo. 


Cozumel
