"Late last century, DH and I were on a RCCL sponsored tour. It was a snorkeling and lunch tour in Belize. The boat was new, well stocked with beverages and two working toilets 😉.  We get back on the boat to return to the ship. They cannot get the engine to start. I’ll spare you that story. The important thing is that, while we were sitting there waiting for other boats to come get us, we were told to pay attention to an announcement coming thru the radio. It was the captain of our ship, who told us that he was aware of the problem and The Ship Would Wait For Us. There are extreme circumstances where the ship has to leave. The cruise line will get you to the next port. This experience is why I now only book ship’s tours.\n "
