Creator's Key Takeaways

We just disembarked from the MSC Seascape after visiting Rowitan.

The downside to this excursion is that there aren't a lot of covered areas, so initially we spent a lot of time huddled under some of the awnings.

Overall, I would say this excursion was a very good deal for the price at $65 a person when we booked it.

If the weather is great, I would say this is an amazing excursion. If the weather's bad, maybe not so much.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Go by the shore excursion desk on board your cruise ship and ask about weather refunds.
βœ“If it's going to be a drizzly, dreary day, consider skipping the excursion.

A stop in Roatan often means seeing animals, but BFK isn't known for that. We were surprised to see Bunnies, Parrots, Ducks, and even a couple Tigers on our excursion to Big French Key. The overall process was pretty smooth, but the weather wasn't great on the day we went. We tried to make the best of it and it turned out alright. Curious about other Roatan excursions?
