May 13, 2024: These are photos I did not post in L-1 to L-10. I have no idea why they weren't added before. Forgive me if there may be repetitive photos. Why did it take this long to post? First, I had to review all photos taken from December 3 to December 21, 2023. Then I had to create a list of the photos not previously posted. It was a very tedious job.

Harvest Caye, Belize, 2023
As the ship was headed to the pier. Discovered that nothing on the island is free!! Have no idea if just NCL or also Oceania.
I did not have time to visit the amenities on the island. I think beach and pool are free.
Another view, different setting. Island is 75 acres. Owned by the company that owns NCL, which the Marina is part of.
On left is walkway from the pier to the island. Mangroves. Lighthouse on the Caye.

Heading back to the ship. It rained heavily.
Back on the ship: One of the 3 dolphins swimming close to the Marina. Staff saw passengers looking out the windows so they looked out. A man came up to them and told them to get back to work. Must have been their supervisor.
