We have cruised all 4 Main Stream cruise lines, at tender ports, ship purchased tours always have had priority. I recommend going to the meeting place and asking the activities director if you can get on an early tender as you have a private tour.

Cozumel; Taxi's are available - go to Mr. Sancho's, Nachi Cochom or Paradise Beach- there is no entry fee. Taxi fare apx. $15 per taxi each way, so try to get someone else to ride with you

Belize; Tender Port and Not a beach destination; suggest a Cave tubing tour with Reggie or on ship. There is little to do at the port and you don't want to walk around outside the port building.

Costa Maya: Don't have any advise

and Grand Cayman: a taxi to the Beach is easy once you tender. The Holiday Inn (hotel name may have just changed, but the cab drivers will know where you want to go) beach is public. Chairs and floats (for rent) as well as rest room facilities are available. Taxi fare about $6 pp. Chair rental $10 including a cold drink. If they have never been to the Caymans, I too highly recommend an early Swim with the Sting Rays tour then go to the beach after. Skip shopping in this port.

Bon Voyage
