It's REAL!

If you rush into every port looking for the inevitable Diamonds International, Margaritaville, and maybe a McDonalds, all surrounded by concrete, don't bother with Roatan.

If you want to see what someplace looks like BEFORE all those "improvements" arrive, get to Roatan QUICKLY, before Carnival finishes their masterpiece there.

Now, for the WATER (which, hopefully, they won't try to improve) is some of the most amazing I have ever seen! When the ship is docked, you can stand on the TOP deck and look at the BOTTOM!

The coral reef is so close in that you can shore snorkel to it! The sea life is fabulous.

The people are warm and open... at least the ones I ran into were.

Coxen Hole is poor... some hight say the name is appropriate, but it really is REAL!
