Whoever said West End Beach was just as good as West Bay-- LOL. I wouldn't even call it a beach. Also, the walk to the local bus route is well over a mile and close to 2. We started out walking and told the cabbie we were too cheap to pay for him. He took us to West End for $5pp. Then we took the water taxi to West Bay Beach for $3pp. Now THIS beach is worth going to. Massages for 45 minutes for $20 or $25. Lots of people selling their stuff but not too aggressive. If you don't want a chair, walk to the far end and the beach is vacant and beautiful. Spent the whole day here and got a taxi ride back to the pier for $15 for both of us.

Roatan

Took an excursion with Island Marketing, LTd. Went to Goff's Caye. It was a 35 minute boat ride. Quite fun out to this tiny island in the middle of nowhere. Went snorkeling. Some guys come out and BBQ chicken, hot dogs and Lobster. for $7 the chicken was a lot and really good. The Lobster was $8 but tasted like bbq chicken. :0) Went snorkeling, but it was too rough, so I climbed back on the boat after 30 minutes. Hung out on the island. It is beautiful. Went back to the pier and bought meds at the pharmacy.

Belize City

Very disappointed in the beach this time. Been here twice before, but the hurricane at the end of OCt brought a lot of debris up onto the beach and also the water is now green in most places instead of the gorgeous blues that it used to be. Hopefully they will clean it up soon. I went parasailing for $70. The guys were super nice and fun and took lots of pictures. That was my first time to Parasail. You could also go for banana boat rides and jet ski rides. There were FIVE ships in that day, so it was super crowded. But the other lines left early and by 2, there was hardly anyone on the beach. Next time, we will get off at the first taxi stop and then walk 1/4 mile to the beach access at the luxury hotels. That beach looked nicer. You can flag down a local bus. We stopped at Foster's grocery on the way back and stocked up on energy drinks and cokes. Caught the local bus back to the pier for $2.50 pp. Half the price of the regulated taxis.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

6643- Great location. Close to Promenade, all dining rooms, and Casino. Not too close or too far from the elevator. It was very small compared to other cruise lines. The showers are great, as the doors actually close and water doesn't leak out. The closet space was just so/so, but we made it work.

No food or drinks out close to the pools- you have to walk a long way to get water, lemonade or a snack.They had almost NO dancing before 10 PM.
