Carnival Cruise Lines has confirmed it will forgo port calls in Belize for the rest of the year.
Carnival said the decision had been taken as the port had become too congested.
“Although we have a confirmed berth in Belize, local officials accepted calls for additional ships.
“Consequently, their tender capacity is not able to effectively handle the increased volume of guests without creating long delays and limiting your time ashore,” Carnival said in a letter to customers.
“Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to come to an acceptable agreement with Belize Port Authority regarding this situation.”
Both Carnival Glory and Carnival Legend, the two ships scheduled to call in Belize this year, will now call in Costa Maya, Mexico.
