Belize
Belize helped start our love of snorkeling on our first cruise aboard Norwegian Dawn in 2013. The underwater scenery became one of the memories we compared later trips against. In 2025, we returned to Belize on a different itinerary, visiting Harvest Caye aboard Norwegian Getaway—another chapter in our family’s Caribbean travels.

Our First Cruise aboard Norwegian Dawn
A little disclaimer before we get started: this cruise was a long time ago, and we've learned a lot about cruising since then. This was our very first cruise—the trip that made us fall in love with cruising and ultimately led to many more adventures at sea. Because it was our first, there's definitely some nostalgia and probably a little bias in how we remember it. We didn't know what to look for, what questions to ask, or even what kind of cruisers we would eventually become. So rather than a traditional review, think of this as a look back at where our family's cruising story began.
