Cozen Hole is the original port. It can accommodate only one ship. It was built by NCL. It started as only a pier, with nothing at all around it, except for a dance troupe, who performed for tips. They are still there but "commerce" has struck. It is a walking gauntlet of shops now.

There is one other pier, built by Carnival, they "named" it Mahogeny Bay.

Roatan is considered the 3 rd best scuba locale in the world.

The Allure Of The Seas is an Oasis class ship and too my knowledge has never gone to Roatan. The ship is too big to be able to dock at that location. Allure Of The Seas Western itinerary is normally Labadee, Haiti, Falmouth, Jamaica, and Cozumel, Mexico. The water at Roatan, Honduras is very shallow and the channel to the pier is very narrow. Many ships will bypass that stop when the seas are rough and the wind speed is strong.

It's one of the stops on our Symphony cruise.

What is now Mahogany Bay (which is used by Carnival Corp lines) used to be a shore excursion from CH. If you are just looking for a simple beach day MB is a great port. But it's a lot easier to get out of CH and see the island if that's what you're wanting to do.

We have booked 7 nights on Allure 17 June 2018 sailing out of Ford Lauderdale.

The stops are Nassau, Cozumel, Roatan and Puerto Costa Maya

An Oasis class ship will have no problem docking at Nassau, Cozumel, and Costa Maya. The channel leading to Roatan, Honduras is very narrow and very shallow. They have to dredge that channel to allow for enough clearance for an Oasis class ship to dock there. When the seas are rough and the wind is strong most smaller ships will bypass that port of call.
