WonderMan3 Posted November 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Sorry if this has already been asked recently but I can't get the search function to work right now. Can anyone advise the docking location that NCL uses in Roatan? I am trying to set up transportation to a resort and they are asking me where the ship docks. Never been to Roatan before. Can anyone help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted November 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) NCL docks in Coxen Hole COXEN HOLE is the answer. Carnival and all of dem other guys they go somewhere else and I am not going to mention that place causing limitless organized confusion and misdirection. Now you have two correct answers.

garycarla Posted November 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I am really surprised they even asked. Locals always know where the ships dock, even when they move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peachypooh Posted November 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just be aware that it might be a tender port. Last week one of the bigger NCL ships was there before us and got the dock space. We had to tender using the lifeboats which is a much slower process than using the Cayman owned tenders . Those with priority and ship excursions were let off first and then those on their own. It took three hours to get to the end of the tender number calling. I am not mentioning this to say it will happen to you but plan accordingly. Hope you have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they are scheduled for Mahogany Bay. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted November 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Mahogany Bay has pier space to handle two LARGE ships - no problemo. It is unfortunate when NCL has two of its own ships on location - bad scheduling probably due to repositioning of hurricane eastern Caribbean cruises.

Twice we have been on slightly smaller ships, last week the Pearl and we still tendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted November 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2017 There is a Princess ship and a Costa ship on the same day we are there. Hopefully they are scheduled for Mahogany Bay. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Mahogany Bay is reserved for Carnival and its sister ships, so both the Princess ship and the Costa ship should be there.

pspercy Posted November 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 22, 2017 At Coxen Hole Royal Caribbean has priority for the dock. Not sure how it works if there's no RCL ship calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdGuyMG Posted November 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I am really surprised they even asked. Locals always know where the ships dock, even when they move. I think the transportation vendor did the right thing asking a customer where the ship docks instead of just "assuming" and causing a possible miscommunication. Hopefully they also asked when as to verify the date and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvinmygrandbabies Posted November 22, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Not sure if you booked your transportation yet, but we used a local for our excursion (Escape 10/28/17) and he was so accommodating and great prices. His FB page is Let's Go Roatan Amazing young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they also asked when as to verify the date and time. I had already given the time with my initial request. I didn't realize there were two docking locations until they asked the question and I came here. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you have a great time. good point: this long period for calling tender numbers can be a real drag for those who have plans already. It is too bad they can't get the tendering down to a reasonable time but I do understand. Some of the slowness may have had to do with the weather conditions. Our friends said the water was pretty choppy. Edited November 23, 2017 by newmexicoNita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
