Creator's Key Takeaways

Honduras has a law that prohibits civilians from wearing camo

Mahogany Bay is exclusively owned by Carnival Corporation meaning that it primarily serves Carnival princess and Holland America line

I strongly advise this option for Cruisers many times it's cheaper than a cruise line Excursion and it's so much more luxurious

West Bay Beach it really wasn't my scene it's a very long beach that's fronted by bars and restaurants

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Leave camo clothing at home or on the ship due to local laws
βœ“Check which port you are docking at to plan your day
βœ“Hire a private driver for a more flexible and often cheaper tour
βœ“Bring your own snorkel gear for free snorkeling at West Bay Beach
βœ“Avoid aggressive vendors by not making eye contact and saying no thank you

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Wearing camo clothing β€” Leave camo at home or on the ship to avoid being sent back to the ship
Aggressive vendors β€” Don't make eye contact, firmly say no thank you, and keep moving
Choosing the right beach β€” If docking at Mahogany Bay, use Mahogany Beach; if at Coxen Hole, consider West Bay Beach or Little French Key
