Santo tomas de castilla
Belize city, Belize
Key west
Cozumel

The first two that you mentioned I'm not sure however Key West and Cozumel will be docking ports.

The odd time the ship may have to tender in Key West depending how many ships are in port.

Have no idea about Santo Tomas or Belize, but I'll know more when we are there in December.

Belize is definitely a tender port (and a long journey)

Dee Dee did you just say you will be on the 2005 volendam christmas cruise?

That's what I said. Why, will you and your folks be there?

Ya! There's a group of eighteen of us.

Cozumel and Key West are not tender ports, you pull right up to the dock.

Kew West can very well be a tender port! You pull up at the dock in Key West if you are one of the first 2 ships in, but after that you tender. We tendered from a long way out on the Oosterdam and HAL had to charter an old commercial fishing boat to take us in- packed us in like sardines. The seas were very rough and it was awful (and also very dangerous getting on this boat).

That must have been lousy, we were lucky, had a great spot right at the pier, walked right off the ship at Key West right into town. I had no clue you might have to be tendered.
