Roatan Honduras Cruise Port| Caribbean Cruise Ports in 4K

[@mascara1777]

The view of Roatan from the cruise ship was breathtaking. It looked like a lush jungle on a crystal blue sea beach. I literally dreamed about it and had to look up a video to remind myself of it, it was breathtaking. The video doesn't do it justice when you dock at this port, it is gorgeous.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

It is a beautiful port and island. There was a lot of construction when we visited. Hopefully we can go back soon and explore more.

[@dothemathemathics7537]

Roatan seemed unsafe. Our cab was harrassed by 5 young guys. I will never go back.

[@dakg8034]

A very lovely video and equally well narrated. Roatan's arrival port has seen many improvements since my last cruise visit there.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Thank you :) we are so glad you liked the video. I imagine in the next year we will see even more changes.

[@guillermoavila16]

I just returned from the harmony if the seas, we were in roatan, if you want to have a good day and relax at the beach I recommend you, little french key. 100% satisfied I didn't find her on the boat a friend recommended her to me, and she really is very good. The island in general is beautiful but there is a lot of poverty.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Thanks Guillermoavila16, Yea the port is pretty small but there are quite a number of fun excursion to do, definitely a port worth exploring quick but booking a more interesting excursion. Thanks for watching & commenting!

[@raymullen3583]

We have been to Roatan a number of times so We just get off have a couple of Drinks a little Shopping then back to the Ship and Pool..Glad to see They are still working on the Port it look good ...

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Sounds like a lovely day 🍹 thanks for sharing. Happy travels 🦩

[@kiberry8854]

We did the Tabyana Beach Party and snorkled. Great snorkeling and guides were great! Definitely had time to check out the port shops after. Roatan was our favorite port!

[@woxiangLaguindah]

Take the island get away beach break - private island just across from the dock. They have a few animals (sanctuary - leopard, alligator, birds, you can swim with dolphins too) that you can enjoy along with snorkeling. Lunch included 😎

[@TravelingFlamingo]

That sounds lovely right about now. Thanks for the tip

[@woxiangLaguindah]

@@TravelingFlamingo our favorite since there's a drop-off as you snorkeling called "Nemo drop-off "

[@TravelingFlamingo]

@@woxiangLaguindah Nemo drop off! That is awesome. We haven’t been snorkelling in so long. It will be nice to be back in the water

[@billygarner7362]

There may not be a lot to do there but thbeach and snorkeling was great. It’s been a long time since I was there but am going back this winter.

[@yajcaivplawv88]

This was one of three stops for our western Caribbean cruise three weeks ago. Being Oriental, a Hondurian woman tried to force us to pay $5/person entry fee. She said everyone tourists had to pay for leaving the port. However, she targeted no one but us. The third party tours played us too. They charged us $40/person and had a non-English speaking driver for us. I he did was drive us to Mayan Eden then afterwards to West Bay beach. There they wanted $20/person to hangout at the beach. We said “NO” and the owner got mad. The driver drove us back to ship. For a party of ten, they got $400 from us.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Wow that's horrible! Thanks for the heads up, and for all those in the community who may experience that.

This a really nice video. We were there in November 2018 and are going back in November 2019. They have made some nice improvements to the port.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

They have the ports definitely grown a bit, and growing even more which is great. Should be even more awesome for when you're there! Thanks for watching!

I have been to Roatan. It is a Beautiful Island! Seeing other parts of this island was a Good experience also. It should make you Greatful for what you have, and Where you come from - (USA), as there is a lot of Poverty in South America.

[@martyb9807]

Agreed, there isn’t much to do in this port. We took an around-the-island tour. Our guide was a hoot! She definitely didn’t like the government but she was interesting and fun. Part of the tour was a couple hours at a really nice beach.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Was this tour through your cruise line? It sounds like something I would be interested in.

[@martyb9807]

Traveling Flamingo No. we were on NCL but I found the tour we took online, probably through TripAdvisor. I don’t remember the company name. There was some confusion finding our tour guide/bus, but we did eventually. The guide was great. We stopped at a little store for snacks and the cashier ripped me off with my change but our guide set her straight! I got my change.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Marty B glad to know your tour guide had your back 😉 thanks for getting back to us, we will see what we can find online. We usually do tours through the cruise ship but would like to try some other companies when we are in port longer.

[@sergioamiranda3522]

I was on that cruise July 2019 - lol - Loved Roatan, we took the excursion on the Jolly Rancher Catamaran, it was great!!!

Roatan is a diving and snorkeling paradise. One of the most healthy reef systems in the Caribbean.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Good to know, that's for commenting Steven! Next time were there we'll definitely look into doing diving or snorkeling.

Thanks. Going there on my cruise in 2 weeks. We are not doing an excursion there so good to know we do not need to get off the boat first thing in the AM.

Glad we were able to help. Have a great cruise 🚢

[@geraldguthrie6402]

When we go to Roatan we go through Boden tours and get a driver for the day. It’s is very reasonable. The driver will take all over the Island. Go see the iguana farm and monkey farm with zip lines. The driver will take you to a restaurant and we paid for his lunch. It was great. Ask for Ronald!

We loved Rostand. We went on. Dolphin swim which was a wild life reserve for dolphins and it was fantastic.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

That would be so much fun! Did you sign up for that excursion through your cruise line?

[@clayhaskell4359]

We are doing this excursion in March. Are there locker available to store valuable while you snorkel withe the dolphins?

[@tomconner2326]

We went snorkeling on Maya Key; we had a great time. Beautiful place to snorkeling and good facilities for changing. We would do it again.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Sounds amazing! Nothing beats some nice snorkelling in some amazing waters! Happy Travels Tom! 🦩

[@briannachase5594]

Was watching this to see about the beaches. Do you need to purchase a taxi/beach excursion? Or are you able to walk. The Bahamas I walked, but for Bermuda I had to purchase the beach excursion & taxi! I know you said there was no beach, but not sure if it’s in walking distance!

[@BertiferousRex]

I had to tender at that port. Due to a hurricane some ships had their itineraries changed so there were more ships there than should have been... sovthere was no room for my ship at the dock. But, since they don't actually HAVE tenders there... we had to ride the ship's lifeboats to shore.

[@BertiferousRex]

We bought a little painting of our cruise ship from one of the street artists. It hangs in our apartment now :)

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Oh man yea that's never good especially with a pretty small port like Roatan!

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Its always nice to have a little something to remind yourself of a trip! Thanks for watching

another great video. Thank you. We have an excursion, so we will take your advice and go on that first, then this "tourist" area. One silly question: where are the rest rooms and are they clean?

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Restrooms were surprisingly clean, they are located about mid-way down the tourist area (only a 2 min walk as its pretty small) pretty well where you get the cabs / tours. It wasn't the largest washroom in the world but didn't seem to get too busy.

[@Nanny745]

My cruise will be stopping in Roatan in June 2022. Do you have to change U.S currency to Honduran money? Or can you use American Dollars here? Not sure if you mentioned this?

[@carolbaldwin520]

Use US currency or charge card with no foreign charge fee. Anthony Key (part of dolphin research in hondoras) excursion was the best for dolphin encounter. Dolphins are in a cove not a pool. Cameras are allowed so you can take your own pictures. Photographer also takes pictures excellent price!Going back again!

[@juliehall2758]

Hi...I am going to this port and to the Coasta Maya port...on our cruise in August 2021.. and watched your great video, thank you for all of the good information! I was confused by your visa trouble story, however. On your Coasta Maya video, you mentioned that you did not have the pin numbers for your Visa credit cards and that this caused you to not be able to use them. I have never used a pin number with a credit card ever...do not know them either. Normally, with a credit card, you do not need a pin code, only to sign the payslip. Is this different there? Thanks for the info! - Julie

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Hello Julie We are so glad that you liked our videos :) Regarding the Visa card, we live in Canada and our Visa can also be a debit card so we have to use a pin. We will always have a bit more cash with us for food and souvenirs. We hope you have a great cruise. Happy travels 🦩

[@ColumbiaQT2001]

You should be able to charge things to the ship and pay your bill before you leave the ship.

[@AbuelaYOYo1955]

I am going Thanksgiving week on the Carnival Vista. This looks great! I am in an electric wheelchair. I can walk short distances with a walker with I will have with me. I booked an excursion. Is the area where I meet my tour fairly close? If I get off in the wheelchair do you think I could pay one of the kiosks to park it until I get back? Thank you for your input.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

From the ship, its about 90m to where you meet your cruise excursions. Here is a map with the distances, imgur.com/TzONiLg if that helps. You could probably ask the vendors to store the wheelchair but I think that would depend on how comfortable you are with it. There is also plenty of seating for the restaurant that you could stop at as well.

[@ronalddawson2670]

Thanks for the info

[@TravelingFlamingo]

No problem. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

[@angmarie9482]

We are booked on the breakaway for this port as well. NCL website has it listed as needing a tender, has it changed?

[@TravelingFlamingo]

I'd double check which port you're going into (you can usually check the schedule online w/ the cruise port) but its not common at all to tender at Roatan as far as we know. Hope that helps And Marie. Happy Travels! 🦩

[@kalebmaxwell5725]

Yeah, bullshit I was on the Norwegian Getaway and we had to tender. Which was hellish.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

Wow you had to tender. Another viewer shared because of weather there were multiple ships at port on the same day and that caused them to tender. It really slows down the process

[@kalebmaxwell5725]

Yeah, a Royal Carribean ship pulled into the dock two hours before we arrived so when we tendered it backed up the system by two hours. I ended up getting on the ship at around 7:00pm.

[@rickyscot]

A shame really. Nothing here that makes it stand out from all the other tourist trap ports. It would be great to learn more about Honduras itself. Is it safe to venture out etc.

[@TravelingFlamingo]

I think its subjective. The USA and Canada does have several travel advisories for Honduras but that said your on the island of Roatan (not really Honduras). travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/honduras-travel-advisory.html You will arrive at this port which has some main city center within walking distance. In our opinion its fairly safe on the island of Roatan if you use common sense. www.google.com/maps/place/Roatan+Cruise+Excursions+-+Island+Marketing+Ltd/@16.3162568,-86.5450541,1585m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sroatan+honduras+port!3m4!1s0x0:0xd20cd41965701734!8m2!3d16.3132896!4d-86.5448977 is the port that you'll arrive at, you can see some of the main areas are pretty easy to access if you want to roam.

There are some shops right at the port. I remember one of the souvenir shops had a bunch of spices but I can’t specifically remember vanilla. Sorry

[@richardnone5644]

the port is a dump if you have enough time take an excursion they are still building it so my advice skip this port if you can we got off and back on the ship in less than an hour there is nothing to do or see in the port .

[@stone5578]

plenty to see if you leave the port

[@chanroobi7460]

Beware: we made and paid in full a reservation ahead of time to go on an all inclusive tour that included a tour of the island, lunch, full open bar, water, sodas, private cabana- we were suppose to meet "Charlie" after we got off the ship and just right outside the port. Let me tell you that was so chaotic and crazy- literally dozens or more of the drivers/tour guides holding up signs yelling out passenger names. Our Charlie was suppose to be our there...we asked some of the other drivers- if they knew "Charlie"...none of them said they knew Charlie. Then out of the crowd appeared a man named "Charlie"..he took out all over the island, to the beach we were supposed to go to , but they wouldn't let us in and kept giving us dirty looks and were yelling at Charlie. What it boiled down to it....our tour guide was NOT Charlie...we ended up going to a less than desirable beach, which we had to pay for, as well as the drinks- remember all of this was supposed to be included. We were swindled...so beware.

I am curious to know who booked this "all-inclusive" tour with, and you came in contact with that source?
