We just got back from a great cruise with some of our friends. There were 9 of us all together. We went on Norwegian Cruise Line. Not my favorite line, but it was still tons of fun. We stopped in Roatan Honduras first. (see pic of Nate kissing a fish) I think this was my favorite stop. Mostly we just laid on the beach and snorkeled off the shore. We stopped here last year too, and there has been a ton of development since then. But the sea life seems to have survived it so far. 
The snorkeling was great! The highlight for Nate was ordering deep fried Yellowtail for lunch and getting the entire fish.Our second stop was Belize. The boys went scuba diving on the reef, and the rest of us went snorkeling near by.
The water was pretty choppy but we say some small rays, a lobster and lots of fish. Afterwards our guides took us back to a little private island for a few hours. It's the end of tourist season there so we were the only cruise ship in port, so things were a little slow for the local. Which means we had the whole island pretty much to ourselves! It was awesome. There were tons of sea shells all over the beach. I took a few handfuls of tiny ones home. One of our friends found some huge conch shells just lying on the sand.
Third stop was Cozumel Mexico. The boys went scuba diving again. Nate say a reef shark and and some more rays. I was pretty sunburned so I went with a couple of the other girls on a reef tour in a semi-submarine thing. I was worried it would be cheesy, but it was actually really cool. Just like snorkeling, only i didn't have to get wet, and there was someone telling us the names of everything we were seeing. After that we went shopping!
Our last stop was a private beach owned by the cruise line. More snorkeling for most of us. We also rented a huge floating raft, big enough for 3 people. I spent most the day floating on the water and getting really really sunburned. But that's okay, it was the last day.
