I am going on the Valor 11/22/09. I would monitor Carnivals site for announcements. They continued to visit Mexico after similar warnings were issued.

beckyjohns Posted October 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Asked for a response, a Carnival spokesman said, "Roatan, which is located in the Bay Islands, approximately 30 miles from the Central American coastline, continues to be an exceptionally popular port of call for cruise lines. It has not been affected by the recent political unrest in Honduras and we have continued to call there throughout the past many weeks without incident." - Written by Fran Golden http://www.honduras.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzman Posted October 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Roatan is an island off the Honduran coast and is pretty isolated from the mainland politics. Carnival's new cruise facility at Mahogany Bay is scheduled to open mid November, so I would be surprised if they didn't go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
