I will be asking a load of questions on this port . For now, where do we dock? Mahogany Bay or Town Center?

I'm so glad you asked this - I want to know all the answers about Roatan too! Following this post...

Royal always docks at Town Center/Coxen Hole . (Mahogany Bay is exclusively Carnival and their other brands.) There is not much at Town Center - a few shops, a duty free store,leather shop, jewelry etc. Think typical port shops, just on a MUCH smaller scale than places like Cozumel and Costa Maya. This is definitely a port to pre plan an excursion unless you plan on just staying on the ship.

Exactly this.  Well said.

If you are looking for some ideas, I use Ronys tours. His website has lots of ideas. There are plenty of independent companies that offer tours.

You can also negotiate with taxi drivers for a private tour.

I had the time of my life holding a sloth on an excursion in Roatan. I would agree with everyone saying to arrange something in advance--it's overwhelming in terms of people mobbing you for business.

Lobster? You can get that on the ship. What about good lion fish?

Aaaaak! I'm a boat captain and have had enough of them last a life time.  Getting poked is a whole new level of "ow!!!!!" as well. They are ok but not high on my list. I eat em as our guests get excited at the prospect of eating their own exotic catch. I like a good fresh bug now and then. Fiance' loves lobster of any species and this trip is for her...
