Tendering in Roatan Honduras

[oklaviking]

Has anyone tendered into Roatan, Honduras. I noticed the Spirit is scheduled to anchor at the port according to the E docs I printed. Thanks for all your help.

We just tendered here on our cruise last week on the Spirit. They used the Spirit's own lifeboats as tender boats. We weren't anchored far from the pier, fwiw.

We tendered last time I was there. it's a very short distance and very quick.

Really? Durn it. Did it stop at Coven Hole ?

Last year for some reason Spirit was scheduled to dock at Mahagony Bay ( maybe because Celebrity was already scheduled at Coxen Hole).

 

Apparently the "winds" were too strong and we sailed right past Mahagony and dropped anchor a few hundred yards from Celebrity and they let down the life boats

We were there Nov. 2009. Probably less than 5 minutes.

I sailed on the Spirit last March and we did not have to tender to the island. We were able to dock at the new port.

We docked at Mahogany Bay a year ago. Never want to see there again.

I thought they were docking at Coxen Hole now. I'm hoping so.

We usually do not do ships excursions, but we do in Roatan. We go to Maya Key via NCL, and that makes the tendering super easy and fast. They usually call that excursion first.

Spirit had a contract with Carnival to use Mahogany Bay for 18 months. That ended last year and now it's 100% Coxen Hole. Because of the size of the ships there, Spirit anchors out and tenders. It is about a 5 minute or less tender. Smooth and easy. Enjoy.
