The weather was rainy and it was pretty cold for Belize. We took the excursion to the Alta Hun mayan ruins. Due to circumstances, we ended up with only 4 people and boy did we feel special. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and we felt bad that he didn't have a large group to talk to. It was a great tour. We also enjoyed shopping in back of the main touristy port - great prices and entertainment.
The hi-light of our entire cruise was the excursion to the stingrays. It was so incredible to be standing on a sandbar petting and feeding giant stingrays. It was our absolutely favorite excursion.
unfortunately the weather got bad and that had a serious affect on excursions. We took a 4x4 jeep tour which included a 'real' Mexican lunch and snorkling. The tour was great - the tour guide was entertaining, but it was just too cold to be in the water - we did it anyway.
we were not impressed with Costa Maya - but again, the weather was really bad. In fact, our captain spent two hours just getting us to dock. Other cruise lines left snd didn't even try. the only thing available to us were the shops immediately at the end of our dock. Because no other cruise ships docked, the local vendors were desparate for us to purchase. The pressure was a bit much.
