Word of advice.

I was just in Roatan last Thursday, I had several $20's and $10's that were slightly damaged, (the corner was torn off, or maybe a slight tear anywhere on the bill) and they wouldn't take them. Thank goodness I brought a lot of extra cash or I would have been screwed, we were on a tour to go zip lining. So inspect your money before going there.

Other than that, we loved Roatan!! I've heard that people don't care for the area....I'd go again in a heartbeat

I hope this info helps somebody.

Same thing holds true in Belize, go to the bank before you cruise and get "fresh" dollars, smaller the denomination the better, $1, $5 & $10 unless you plan on paying cash for a tour.

It definitely wouldn't have crossed my mind either if I hadn't experienced it.

You're welcome

I think is the norm for most of the ports these days. There have been several reports on it. However, I do know they don't mind wet money. :D

Don't they take credit cards?

Before heading to shore, stop by the guest services desk on your ship and get smaller fresh bills. Saves having to hunt down a bank and paying an exhange rate or fee.
