Greetings,
My mother and I are on the NCL Getaway in a couple weeks (April 15). Our ports are Costa Maya, Belize (Harvest Caye/Placencia), Roatan, and Cozumel.
Mom does not dive. If all four ports are "must-do," she will understand, but it would be ideal for me to spend 1-2 port days with her. We both like the beach and I also enjoy snorkeling.
I do not want to dive through the cruise excursions unless it is necessary or highly beneficial for that particular port. I realize that I will need to research which shops can accommodate my schedule and already have a boat going out (since I am solo). I would love it if they could pick me up near the pier. I am undecided on whether to bring my own gear.
I would love to hear your advice on the above considerations and the following ideas:
- Costa Maya - 1 tank Lionfish hunting w/Doctor Dive (it would be my first time) then beach w/Mom
- Placencia, Belize - Stay with Mom - beach on mainland or boat ride to island for beach and snorkel
- Roatan (Coxen Hole) - dive with (?) operator
- Cozumel (Punta Langosta) - dive with (?) operator (maybe Blue Hole? Blue Angel? Alison? based on board posts).
I am very excited! Thank you in advance!
