Roatan Honduras A Port of Call for Some Cruise Ships

Roatan is a port of call we visited on the Western Caribbean itinerary of the Norwegian Jewel. Years ago my parents enjoyed a week of SCUBA diving on Roatan, so when I saw that the NCL Jewel was going to call in there I was intrigued.

Royal Caribbean International built the dock in the largest town on the island, Coxen Hole. And just recently Carnival Cruise Lines built Mahogany Bay about 10 minutes from Coxen Hole for Carnival and Princess cruise passengers.

 

On our NCL Jewel cruise, we decided to spend our time in Roatan Zip Lining, one of our favorite activities! Here is a video of our experience with South Shore Canopy Tours in Roatan.
