Thanks for the replies. Maybe I'm thinking of this wrong. The itenerary says arrival at 8:00 am. Is that ship time, or local time? We sail out of Tampa, so (correct me if I'm wrong) ship time will be EST. Belize is in CST time zone. So, 8:00 am EST is 7:00 am CST. If that is true, then the time listed on Viator (tripadvisor) should be local time... meaning we will have plenty of time (if we're in a tender right after all the special people). Does that sound correct? Or am I off base, and the time listed in the Royal itenerary the local time for each port? Thanks again!

We'll be on Granduer OTS for the July 29th sailing, and I'm finally getting around to booking excursions. No time like the present, eh? I just realized that Belize is a tender port. I'm looking at booking 3rd party excursions, instead of thru Royal. We 'arrive' at 8am, and the earliest excursion thru Royal looks like it starts at 8:30. I'm assuming we will begin tendering by 8am. If I have an 8:30 excursion booked on my own, will I be able to request to be one on the first tender? Or will royal give preference to those who have booked excursions through them? Hopefully someone here has experience with this and can offer some insight. Thanks in advance

Loved it! I probably had 5 on the 4 night cruise!

Thanks! It was bugging me at sail away that I couldn't remember! I'll have to try it later tonight

In at least 2 videos I've watched, Matt recommended a rum drink for sail-away. I had never heard of it before. I can't remember the name for the life of me. Anyone able to help jog my memory?
