I was directed to this site by Donald ( our tour guide ). It is a shame that people with the user name: kris48, seashell,16canuck, stormbird, and RitTizzy are bashing on Donald and his team. I did the Combo with them and they are really good. Donald is young and very strong. I can clearly see that the above user names are all the same person, maybe a company from Belize trying to get rid actionboysbelize.com . People do need to know about them and their great services. This is our story:
Just returned from our cruise on the Royal Caribbean. This was our fourth cruise and first time on Royal Caribbean. We had good weather all week with the exception of a little thunderstorm in Cozumel that was over quickly. We enjoyed the free style - being able to eat when we chose to. Most of the evenings we ate in the Four Seasons dining room and chose the Garden buffet for breakfasts. We were off ship for most lunches. The service and cleanliness on this cruise were phenomenal. We never had to wait to be seated at dinner and our stateroom was kept clean and neat. The food was o.k. We would avoid the fish and chicken dishes next time. The Italian and French themed dishes were very good. The fish and chicken were very bland. We chose an inside stateroom, 8130, and were pleased with the size. We had a king bed and a sofabed. One tip we followed was to bring a nightlight and extra power strip. We found one at Target that is both! The single outlet in the bathroom is only for electric shavers. I plugged in my combo strip in the outlet on the desk for hairdryer and curler, camera dock, etc.
In Belize we booked a zipline through the rainforest canopy and cave tubing with Donald Ramirez (The ship’s tour goes to the same place. There were 111 people signed up for the ship’s tour). We had 16 in our group with 2 guides! You will have individual attention from this such caring wonderful guy. I was scared to death beforehand to do the zipline, but it was very safe and a great experience! (I had worried about how we would get to the start of the zipline. I pictured climbing a high ladder, but it is really climbing steps cut into the hillside through dense rainforest, so not scary at all)! The cave tubing was fun, too. We went through the caves hooked together like a train on our inner tubes. It felt great to be in the cool water after the warm climb to the zipline. Our lunch afterward was included and was delicious! We ate in a small café in the inn near the zipline and had a tour of the beautiful grounds afterward…all included in the price of the tour. Wear old shoes that you can get wet…you’ll need shoes for the zipline and the hike to the cave tubing.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND www.actionboysbelize.com for the Belize Port.
In Santo Tomas, Guatemala, we booked the Escoba waterfall tour through NCL. We had a large group and it was hard to hear what the guide had to say while we hiked, but the walk was beautiful…up the side of the “mountain” through the rainforest. There were about 50 people on the tour. Much of the walk had railings and “steps” cut out of the trail to make it a bit easier. At the end of the walk, before heading back down the trail, you could swim in a pool at the base of a waterfall. Again, wear old shoes that you can wear in the water. It is all small rocks and hard on the feet even with water shoes.
We really enjoyed our cruise with RCCL! Having more time in ports than many cruises was the big selling point for us!
