Welcome to our Roatan, Honduras port day… and yes, it started off rainy. 🌧️
We were supposed to do a glass bottom boat tour, but rough seas shut it down, so we had to pivot fast. If you’ve ever booked an excursion for one main thing and then had it change last minute, you’ll understand this one.
Instead of the glass bottom boat, we ended up with a modified day that included the Roatan Museum and marine life research area, a chocolate factory with samples (and a frozen banana dipped in chocolate), and of course a rum cake stop. We also took time to walk around the newer port area and check out what’s changed since the last time we were here, including shops, restrooms, hammocks, food spots, and some of the new features right off the ship.
And then back onboard, the day keeps going. We hit the thermal suite again, had a really solid dinner (including rum cake and coconut ice cream), and then we did something we’ve never done before… we went through a secret phone booth to get into a hidden speakeasy. Yep. A real onboard “secret gathering” with live music, specialty drinks, and a full vibe.
If you’re cruising to Roatan or you’re curious what a port day looks like when plans change, this video should help you know what to expect and how to make the most of it.
