Sunrise as we arrive in Belize City


Tender ride into the port


Welcome to Belize





Driving through town






Heading to the Mayan Ruins via high speed boat






After climbing up to the top, a view across the tree tops and down the side

hmm, what goes up must come down


The view after getting back down to the bottom


Black monkeys that sounded like they were huge and scary.  They were not happy with all of us other animals in their area.






The Mask Temple



Flowers along the walk


Back to the boat and return




Lunch



Drinks from Belize (Coke with real sugar and the local beer)



The drive back to the port


Our ship awaited but the lines for the tender were long

And it was a nice port area just for cruise ships, so why stand in line

Many of the shops were closing up since we were at the time of last tender but there was still a long line.  So why not stop for a drink and see what else is in the port







Well the line finally was not long and it was time to head back to the ship

Port lighthouse as we headed back.


The Regal as the tender approached                                       Back onboard      



Lighthouse as we pulled away from Belize and headed to Cozumel


Sun setting on a great day

 After last years cruise (and our honeymoon cruise) we are at the Platinum level and get invited to the Captain's cocktail party.




Our Captain was Gavin Pears (Loveboat trivia, Captain Stubing was played by actor Gavin MacLeod)

  Back in the USA Not that warm but way better than when we left Firetruck and ambulance at the dock Breakfast at the buffet One last walk on the Seawalk Leaving the room Heading downstairs Waiting room to disembark In line to get off One last Princess Pic Rob logged out and Crew member waving for Toni Final look at the ship In line for the bus to take us to get a rental car at the Houston Airport Arriving in Houston to get a car Finally got to see a Texas Longhorn Definately was a little hotter than when we left At Dallas airport, they had a whole place for Seve and Dom's team. But the Steeler fan didn't want to eat there.  So there was an Italian place next door and had one of the best Lasagna we ever had.  And then we got to the gate and was happy to see a glimpse of Home Flew near Nashville and then almost over Indian Head and Waldorf as we came into Baltimore. And it is over.  Back home!! Two Cruises in two years

Balcony breakfast with Tracey and Andrew Egg drop challenge.  Sometimes they go wrong Second Duck find on the ship. When the Texas tax would be $3.50 for the $3 Rum that Toni bought just because she like the label, we decided to just add it to our afternoon Pina Coladas.  No tax on an empty!!!  One of our World Cruise friends, Assistant Cruise Director Kymee from South Africa The Voice of the Ocean finals Tonight we ate at Vines. Wines with charcuterie board, vegies and then truffles Suitcases out and saying good bye to our Steward, David.  He would be getting off in Galveston also and flying home to the Phillipines.
