There are always tour operators available on the dockside at the ports.

I am worried about availability for 7, is that a realistic concern?

My group of 8 is scheduled on the Emerald out of HOU on February 1. I have been reading about the really long delay they encountered this past Sunday and had missed Roataan but picked up Costa Maya. It doesn't really matter to me because I will be away form the snow for a week. :D because we do private excursions and are not "lay on the beach people", nor are we "go to a bar people" IF we switch ports how realistic is it to walk off the boat and get a snorkel shore excursion for 7 of us? All the research I have found seems to indicate that snorkeling, although great, isn't as available as diving or the ruins.

Also I should mention that I do not like the snorkel shore excursions offered by Princess, I have NEVER had one where it has turned out well. And sine we have ages 12-55+ in our group I have discovered private is much more enjoyable.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

We are driving down from Iowa, would love a hotel with Park and Cruise all in one price. Which hotels are close to both the Port and NASA?

I am partial to ones with a free breakfast. :D

Thanks in Advance!

 

This is just a brief outline of available activities. If you tell us what you do like to do (active, history, nature, culinary) people will be able to offer more specific examples. HTH.

Well we are snorkeling in Roataan and Belize so not sure if we are looking to do that again. We aren't people to lay around on the beach but maybe the kids would like that. I'm just so confused by all the choices.

I will be traveling on the Emerald Princess in February here. I will be traveling with my sister in law, Husband, 2 adult children and a 13 year old, and a 12 year old. ( 5 Adults and 2 kids) Looking for best options. I haven't found much that doesn't involved drinking at a bar or a long bus ride. Any suggestions would be great. TIA
