Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard Star Princess. Sailing from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) toward Belize City.
Belize City is always a tender port, because the reef sits between the ship and the shore and the water is too shallow for a pier. That tender adds an hour to each end of the day, which matters when the things worth seeing, the Altun Ha ruins and the cave tubing, are an hour inland.
Ways to spend your day
Museum & city lunch
Pair the Museum of Belize with a meal in the city when opening hours fit your tender schedule.
A Belizean lunch
A focused food outing with time to browse locally and return to the tender landing.
Goff’s Caye outing
Choose a boat outing only when its complete return fits your cruise tender arrangements.
Roatán has two cruise ports a few miles apart on the south coast, so check which one your ship uses before booking anything. The island sits on the second largest barrier reef in the world, which makes snorkelling and diving the obvious day, and West Bay the beach worth the drive.
Ways to spend your day
Your own port, at ease
Keep the day local, with the beach option only for arrivals at Isla Tropicale.
West Bay & lunch
Make West Bay your main stop, with facilities and day-visitor dining confirmed first.
A West End outing
Choose West End as an alternative to West Bay, with a specific drop-off and a return agreed in advance.
Cozumel docks south of San Miguel at one of three piers, close enough to walk into town and far enough that most people take a taxi. The island is the west edge of the Mesoamerican reef, so the day is a diving and snorkelling decision more than a sightseeing one, and the mainland ruins at Tulum are a ferry plus a drive.
Ways to spend your day
Town & museum
Explore San Miguel, with the island museum as an optional stop for history and nature.
Beach & snorkeling
Make the southern-coast beach park your main outing, with published facilities and a separate admission charge.
Nature & coastline
Choose the nature park’s beaches, lighthouse and lagoon scenery for a longer port call.

Ships dock at Point Blanche, around the headland from Philipsburg itself, and the boardwalk into town is a pleasant walk or a two-minute water taxi. Front Street and Great Bay beach are the easy day; the French side at Marigot and the beach under the Maho runway need a car or a tour.
Ways to spend your day
