Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm happy to report that Cafe Prominade is open 24 hours. So, the guy said that's such a game changer for me.
This is actually the first excursion I've taken by myself. So, spreading my wings a little bit here on my solo cruise adventure.
It was a very easy tour. Um, highly recommend. Our tour guide was awesome.
I think I actually would come and do this again. uh especially in Roatan.

I booked my very first cruise excursion alone in Roatán… and I honestly wasn’t sure this was a good idea. From monkeys and parrots to a shaky suspension bridge, here’s what solo cruising really feels like off the ship.Welcome back to Barely Packed! In Part 2 of my solo cruise on Harmony of the Seas, I’m up bright and early (4:30am!) discovering that the Café Promenade is open 24 hours for their specialty coffees—a total game-changer for us early risers ☕🌅 Today, I head off on my first-ever solo shore excursion to Gumbalimba Park in Roatán, Honduras through Royal Caribbean’s excursions! Come along as I wander the port area, navigate the excursion logistics, and share the experience of getting up close and personal with monkeys, parrots, a shaky suspension bridge (yikes!), and more. 🐵🌿🌊 I also talk about what it’s like doing things on my own, out of my comfort zone, and how freeing solo cruising can be. Whether you're planning your own solo cruise or just love watching cruise adventures, I hope you enjoy this journey with me. 📌 Pro Tips: Bring biodegradable bug spray! 🦟 Don’t pack a big bag—the monkeys will try to open it 😆 Lockers are $5 (bring cash!) You can stay after the tour to enjoy the pool or beach 🏖️ Thanks for watching!
