Nice to know Justin's drops off. Thanks, will drop them a line.

Port of call for Christmas for the Oosterdam will be the beautiful island of Aruba. You just can't go there and not have a jeep but I'm having a difficult time reserving one. Any suggestions on who to try? Back up plan is an ATV. Don't have much time to reserve as cruise is in two weeks. Ugh.

I think flights from San Pedro and Belize City are almost hourly. My flight out is at 9:30am and the excursion is four hours. That may be total time (flight to flight). If that's not the case, I would think I'd be back at the port no later than 4. They also guarantee you get back in time.

I booked through shore excursioneers. Would rather fly to San Pedro to see the reef and island from the air, then snorkel Hoi Chan and Shark Alley, than deal with a long, and possibly rough hour plus boat ride. First time for me to the island so I'm hoping I made a good choice. Place guarantees you get back to catch the tender back to the ship. You only need to pay the 1.25 US to/from the terminal/airport.
