Booking
This cruise was booked two years ago when the Sailabration cruises were first announced. I definitely wanted this one to be a cruise I could drive to and the Galveston cruises were considerably more expensive than New Orleans. The 5-day Breeze at the time was almost as much as…

The last time I was in Belize I did the Lamanai Mayan Ruins tour. This time I had Xunantunich and Altun Ha to choose from. Xunantunich is the more impressive ruins between the two. It’s also a longer excursion and costs about twice as much.
