点评:Wow, after reading the 2 previous reviews, perhaps another point of view is warranted!
I found the trip, the people, the accommodations sufficient.
We were aware that we were forbidden to go to the Blue Hole a reef in Belize, due to the regulations by the government. In addition, my spouse and I have been snorkeling in the Blue Hole, as well as the marine preserve, Ho Chin. They are absolutely amazing, but in a completely different direction than where our itinerary was set, from the beginning. If one was wanting that experience, it could have been purchased by companies that provide such trips, for an added cost. I did not expect to see these areas, as i was familiar with the country. It is true we were in shallow water at times, and we navigated carefully through these areas. It was truly a great experience to watch the first mate and captain navigate these areas with communication and skill.
One thing that being on a boat has taught me, is that the captain cannot control the weather, such as wind and humidity. The captain can assure our safety and reasonable comfort.
If snorkeling and seeing fish are important, it is suggested that swimming is a skill set. Gliding over reefs, rocks, eel grass, currents of the ocean can be a challenge. If you can't swim, glass bottom boat tours are available! Agreed, the snorkle equipment was less than the best. But we had stuff. Also, there was a fellow who came by in a boat, offering to take people out for a snorkel trip at a small cost.
I saw the women go out, so good for them!
As far as being advised of the daily plans, we were all advised that boat captiains would discuss the plans, concerns for the day. We all sat around the radio to get the 10 4 on the plans for the day. If one chose to get up late and miss that, then it is your responsibility to gather the information. We found the women to be great for the most part. I think if someone wants more of a large group dynamic, perhaps a cruise ship would be better, as it is inclusive, generally, except for flights, and excursions to other places.
We have done the cruise ship environment and don't care for food borne infections, and a cattle call like environment.
In addition, as far as cleaning the rooms upon leaving the boat, all that we were asked to do was roll up the 2 sheets and pillow cases and leave them at the end of the bed, so that the cleaning crew could gather for washing. Oh, and you had to pack your stuff to leave!
I have to admit that the charter company did not prep adequately for this trip, to the consternation of the Captain. What would have been an alternative?
Having been taught that one has to be flexible in certain times, it sure can be tough with some things that get in the way. This was one of those times.
Regarding the dinghy that was malfunctioning, the Captain dealt with the situation as soon as she was made aware of the problem. One has to be prepared to manage situations like this when far from basecamp.
I had an ADVENTURE a lifetime as I met the most amazing women, shared laughs, and tears upon leaving.
It WAS truly, a most memorable experience.
Trips like these, a person gets out of it what one puts into it.
翻译:哇,读完之前的两条评论后,也许另一种观点是有道理的!
我发现这次旅行、这里的人、住宿都足够了。
我们知道,由于政府的规定,我们被禁止前往伯利兹的蓝洞珊瑚礁。此外,我和我的爱人还曾在蓝洞以及何钦海洋保护区浮潜。它们绝对令人惊叹,但与我们从一开始就设定的行程完全不同。如果有人想要这种体验,可以由提供此类旅行的公司购买,但需支付额外费用。我没想到会看到这些地区,因为我对这个国家很熟悉。确实,我们有时会在浅水中,并且我们小心翼翼地穿过这些区域。观看大副和船长通过沟通和技巧在这些区域航行确实是一次很棒的经历。
在船上教会我的一件事是,船长无法控制天气,例如风和湿度。船长可以保证我们的安全和合理的舒适度。
如果浮潜和看鱼很重要,建议游泳是一项技能。在珊瑚礁、岩石、鳗鱼草、洋流上滑行可能是一项挑战。如果您不会游泳,还可以乘坐玻璃底船游览!同意,浮潜设备不是最好的。但我们有东西。另外,还有一个小伙子坐船过来,愿意带人出去浮潜,费用不高。
我看到女人们出去了,这对她们来说真是太好了!
至于被告知的每日计划,我们都被告知船长会讨论当天的计划和担忧。我们围坐在收音机旁收听 10 4 当天的计划。如果有人选择晚起而错过了这一天,那么你就有责任收集信息。我们发现女性在大多数情况下都很棒。我认为如果有人想要更多的大团体活力,也许游轮会更好,因为它通常是包容性的,除了航班和去其他地方的游览之外。
我们已经完成了游轮环境,不关心食源性感染,以及类似牛叫的环境。
另外,就下船后打扫房间而言,我们只需要卷起2张床单和枕套放在床尾,以便清洁人员聚集清洗。哦,你必须收拾好东西才能离开!
我不得不承认,包机公司没有为这次旅行做好充分的准备,这让船长感到震惊。有什么替代方案吗?
人们被教导在某些时候必须保持灵活性,但面对一些阻碍的事情肯定会很困难。这是其中一次。
对于出现故障的小艇,船长在得知问题后第一时间进行了处理。当远离大本营时,人们必须做好应对此类情况的准备。
我一生经历了一次冒险,因为我遇到了最了不起的女人,在离开时分享了欢笑和泪水。
这确实是一次最难忘的经历。
像这样的旅行,一个人投入多少,就会得到多少。
