Creator's Key Takeaways

So, there's not a whole lot to do in this port. Um, bars, restaurants, shopping. Get back on the ship.

I would also say they were not the friendliest in this port. We did buy a few things in a couple of the stores, souvenirs for friends and family, and not many smiles.

Aside from guys, it's the best burger I've had on a cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider Port Roatan a ship day or book an excursion to see monkeys or snorkel rather than just walking the port area.

YouTube Video Description

Today we're visiting Port Roatan, Honduras aboard Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas! After arriving in Roatan, we set out to explore the entire port area on foot to see what cruise passengers can expect without a shore excursion. Along the way we check out the shopping, restaurants, pool area, zip line, floating cabanas, barbecue boats, and compare the experience to nearby Mahogany Bay. Is Port Roatan a great place to spend the day, or would your time be better spent on an excursion... or back onboard Star of the Seas? After our port visit, we head back onboard to try the smash burgers at Basecamp, enjoy some drinks at The Hideaway, continue our Star of the Seas pub crawl, hunt for Sailor, and finish the evening exploring more of the ship. 🚢 Star of the Seas Series: • Boarding Day • Cabin Tour • Sea Days • Cozumel • Roatan • Costa Maya • And much more coming soon! 👍 If you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to follow the rest of our Star of the Seas series, including, Costa Maya, sea days, Disney, entertainment, and more! 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @LidoHoppers ☕ Support the channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/lidohoppers ✈️ We’re also travel advisors — reach out if you’d like help booking your next cruise adventure! https://lidohoppers.com/ As an Amazon affiliate we earn a small commission on items that you purchase at no additional cost to you.
