Review summary

ship is too small, space not used for guest but for RC additional income. again honduras not a good port. groups of loud guest caused lots of problems MAGA rants. one elderly woman hit me with here cane while I was getting my egg order, she took it swore a young cook and left. A RC security asked if I wanted to register a complaint. I did not. These groups of people really ruined a nice trip.

no excursion. have visited this port many years ago and had a great time at local beach next to pier. now there is a 8-10 wall around shopping at terminal. you are held prisoner there the only way you can leave is excursion or taxi to town.
