Viking Group Announce their 2010 13th annual Cruise

Hi Charles

We were in the new cruise terminal in Roatan, Honduras during the first of
our B2B on the Ryndam. This is called Mahogany Bay, and is the one with the
"ski lift" type of transportation to the beach. The lift costs $5.00 for an
all-day pass, but, it is set up so that they have to stop the cable each
time a chair is loaded or unloaded on either end. They should have a
revolving platform at each end so they wouldn't have to stop it for
loading/unloading. As it is, even an old guy like me can walk to the other
end in about 1/10th of the time it takes to ride the chairs.

It is quite unique though and the terminal site and the beach are really
well done.

itinerary is Belize, Isla Roatan

I am going to like two new ports. Something different. Roatan has a
brand new cruise terminal and I think Belize is the tubing place.

Roatan also has a Dolphin Encounter that we found excellent for those of
you, like, me, to old to go zipping in a chair. We were just in all of
those ports, but the weather was mostly lousy. I hope next December is
better. There are great beaches there and Belize has the 2nd largest
coral reef. Maya ruins all over the area.

I don't think I'm too old to go zipping in a chair - maybe too old to
climb steps to them. But I'm against dolphin encounters. Not that I
expect to convert anyone because my daughter took my grandchildren to
do one.

I like reefs and Maya ruins. I intensely dislike Dolphin Encounters.
Wild animals are kept captive in pens and there are many that die
during the capture for these enterprises in the Caribbean.

I don't blame the public because Dolphins are naturally cute and
appealing. People don't know the true nature of the unregulated Dolphin
operations in the Caribbean.

Wow, I had no idea. I have always disliked horse racing, dog racing,
and zoos in general because there is no reason for them.
