About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

In our many visits to Roatan, Honduras, Coxen Hole locals "hustling" cruise passengers to be their guides never stops. There are some days when the guests numbers are small, these local folks just don't take no for an answer. They will keep walking alongside you trying every trick and silver tongue tactics to get you to pay them some money even for their "advise". Even if one finally leaves you alone, another will take his place. On this trip, the Symphony of the Seas had over 5,680 passengers so the locals were not harassing individual guests as intensely. When the capacity is less, you can count on it. We have experienced it many, many times.
