Honduras, Belize, Cozumel • Roundtrip Galveston, TX
Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas
January 27 - February 3, 2013

We’re roundtripping out of Galveston. It’s wonderfully convenient and a good place to start and end. The itinerary is so exciting, there's something for everyone ... eco jungle, snorkeling, diving, fishing, stunning beaches, ancient ruins and great shopping.

Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas has it all — fine dining, state-of-the art recreational facilities, spacious public areas and exceptional service.

Mostly, we’re going to party — check out the highlights and come back often as more details will be added once we’ve completed all our arrangements. Call Alice Travel to get onboard. This is the only way to join in the fun.

Paula Deen and Family Party at Sea
Western Caribbean - Jan. 27-Feb. 3, 2013 (7 Nights)

Jan. 27 - depart Galveston, TX. Galveston Island is Texas’ top historic destination. Guests on cruises from Galveston can enjoy 32 miles of relaxing beaches, great seafood, tropical scenery, superb restaurants, marvelous downtown shopping, breathtaking Victorian architecture, numerous antique stores, incredible art galleries, plus tons of attractions, entertainment venues and world-class sportfishing. Watch for details of our pre- and post-cruise festivities.

Jan. 28 and Jan 29 - at sea

Jan. 30 - Roatan, Honduras. This truly unspoiled island is surrounded by the world’s second-largest coral reef, which houses hundreds of varieties of sea life. So it's easy to see why Roatan’s waters are considered some of the best in the world for snorkeling and scuba diving. On land, the friendly, laid-back atmosphere is exactly how you’d envision it to be on an island paradise - it’s perfect. There are fine restaurants, bars and attractions, such as Butterfly Park, Marble Hill Farms, the Iguana Farm and Carambola Gardens. But best of all, make sure to spend time exploring some of the most pure and untouched beaches in the Caribbean.

Jan. 31 - Belize City, Belize. With miles of lush tropical rain forest, a gorgeous Caribbean coastline and the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, it doesn’t take long to realize why Belize City is known as “The Jewel.” Located between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize possesses a unique combination of modernity and rustic Caribbean charm. Ancient ruins indicate that Belize was first inhabited by the Mayans in 300 B.C. This Indian heritage, combined with a rich European history, creates a destination full of charm and wonder for all to discover.

Feb. 1 - Cozumel, Mexico. The Conquistadors first saw Mexico from the shores of Cozumel while searching for gold. Today, visitors to the island continue to seek out gold and silver jewelry in the shops of San Miguel while having a great time in its many local bars and restaurants. Plus, the waters around Cozumel’s sheltered coral reefs make this one of the best snorkeling areas in the world.

Feb. 2 - at sea

Feb. 3 - disembark Galveston, TX.
