Choozin Cruizin

Staying at the Westin Tampa Bay and wondering if there is a good, local, fresh seafood restaurant fairly close. We will be coming off of an 8 hour drive, so don't want to travel too far. An outdoor restaurant on the water somewhere would be a huge bonus.

Thank you

Hi, I am interested in this reply too - BUT - I do not want to go on a snorkel trip where sharks and rays are manhandled and food is thrown overboard to attract the sea life. I am looking for a RESPONSIBLE operator. Does anyone know of such an operator?

Thanks so much:)

I second that!

After searching through many reviews, I decided on Tropicante for me and my DH on our last cruise. I don't think we could have made a better choice. Reserved chairs ahead of time w/ Steve. He and his staff were great! Great day, will go back if we are in Costa Maya again.

How did you get there?

Just a suggestion, but how about bringing one of the cheap blow up rafts and then you can just leave it if you want.

We have been snorkeling many years and have visited many places. So far my favs are, Bonaire first and Curacao second and then on down the line. I am very excited to visit Belize and snorkel. My question is to those that snorkel a lot, which of these tours would be best? And do these go directly from the ship to the island? Kind of wanted to also shop a little bit.

I am in my very early planning stages. Usually we do private tours, but we are getting olde and Belize seems a bit more complicated so taking a tour seems a little more safe.
