In Belize, Neil and I (and a few other geekcruises) took the "innertubing through caves" shore excursion.

Our ship was parked (along with a few other cruise ships) just outside the 3-mile limit, leading Neil and I to speculate that it was cheaper to park in international waters and hire high-speed tenders from shore than to pull all the way in to the dock for some reason. We could not get confirmation from anyone officially though.
