Harvest Caye

We are cruising in March and still nothing on our end either!

I think we will have to be patient on this one!

Are there any updates? We travel at the end of May and as of yet there are still no excursions posted. I would like to start making plans.

Since it is not scheduled to open until mid-February and is a new construction, I would think it yould be at least October and probably even December before they have an idea of what excursions will be ready. We cruise at the beginning of April.

I contacted Coral Breeze to see if they were offering anything from there and they said not at this time and it may be a while until they do....:(...I really dont want to book through the ship but may have to this time.....Im hoping the pharmacy in Belize City port will open one on Harvest

I hope the same Pharmacist will own it. But I think she was thinking about moving back to the US, because so many things are changing in Belize and her kids are in College now in the US

Oh no!!!!!! I love being able to go to the pharmacy in Belize....:eek:

That makes 3 of us from the same cruise wondering how it's going. :)

Any new information?

cruisetimetables.com has Jade being the first ship to arrive on February 16, 2016. NCL.com also has Jade stopping at Harvest Caye for that cruise. Maybe they are on time with construction.

Valdemar Andrade - Director, Destination Planning & Cruise, BTB

"Yes. As far as the last conversation I had with the director of port operations Mr. Colin Murphy from NCL, yes. We are still on target for February of 2016. I think all the aspects on the island are on target. We are also working with the tour operation side of it. We are now having the detailed discussions as to what kind of tours they will be having there and being able to get those on target as well. So from our side and in terms of the cruise calls we have secured from that port, yes, everything is set for February 2016."

I am bringing my 2 teenagers on this cruise - this is their first time cruising - I hope we have better excursions that what "had been" listed.

Note, if you go to NCL and don't sign in....just search through all the excursions for Carribbean, you can still see the 11 or so excursions offered for Harvest Caye. None of them too great from my point of view. Except maybe the snorkelling.

Fingers crossed, and will watch for updates.

Thanks for the update

We are booked August '16 to harvest caye on the new escape ship, looking forward to the Margaritaville of course!

The latest info I could find was from October, same as Irun26 posted.

Looks as if they are awaiting a Judge's decision?

Thanks for the latest Fatfish!

We are booked on a Norwegian Getaway in July with Harvest Caye listed as the stop in Belize. If, as it sounds like, the place is not ready, would NCL be likely to shift to Belize City up the coast? Just thinking ahead for flexibility in shore time...

I didn't see any dock facilities that looked big enough at Belize City, is that a port where you are tendered in?

Didn't Norwegian book cruises to Harvest Caye starting with November 2015 departures? Where did those ships go instead?

Our Nov 15 cruise was originally scheduled for Harvest Caye. We went to Belize City

On another thread about Harvest Caye they are saying it will be open mid February.

Got a link to that other thread?

NCL ships are going to Belize City until the time Harvest Caye is open, or at least that's what they are doing this season. We are going on the Jade on Jan. 30 and we are going to BC, as have all the Jade trips so far this season.

And yes, Belize City is a tender port.
