Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
This was our FAVORITE FAVORITE stop!! We were a little concerned the Tabyana Beach day was a little on the expensive side for just a beach ($36 PP) but we booked it anyway and it was worth every penny!!! This is true paradise!! there was a very scenic ride there and our bus driver let us stop for a minute and take pictures. There was a bar and buffet, a caribbean band, restrooms, and giftshop. BEST STOP EVER!!! We had an AMAZING time and want to do this ship again, just for this place. It is absolutely breathtaking. The island itself is breathtaking but make sure you go to Tabyana Beach. It is truly Heaven on Earth!!!
We did our shopping and drinking at this port and we went to Pancho's backyard instead of Senor Frogs where everyone else goes. Best decision ever. I had one margarita and I was good for the ENTIRE day. The waiter called it a "happy all day long" and boy were we! We also bought a Mexican blanket for $5 at one of the stores so don't be afraid to haggle. Also, we went to Margaritaville and had a few more margaritas, and took advantage of the water trampoline. I had to snag a menu on the way out on the sly because they told me they would charge me $10 for it but if you're slick about it, just take one on the way out. Be prepared to be stopped almost every foot you walk by locals. Just be polite and they'll be nice back.
We did the Stingray, Hell and Turtle Farm experience, which was $75 PP. Well worth the money. Bring a waterproof camera with you and have other couples take pictures because they charge a lot of money just for one. Even if you're scared or nervous, do the Stingray tour anyway. I was a little scared but I did it and now I am extremely glad I have those memories. Also, you have to sample the rums and rumcake (included in this tour as well). Delicious!!
We were going to do the cave tubing with Cave-tubing.com but when we met up with and guy and got in his van we got a really weird feeling in the pit of our stomach. Just the whole vibe was off and weird. So we made up an excuse to go back and just did a little shopping. I was bummed because I had wanted to do the cave tubing really bad but it just didn't feel right. However, late on in the day, we met up with a lady and she said she had a blast and went though the same company. It all depends on the situation I guess. But we did see A LOT of people do the cave tubing through Carnival and they had a blast. This was our least favorite port, and since we didn't book anything we were bored out of our mind. After an hour, we went back to the ship and took advantage of the almost empty pool and bar.
