Does anyone know which of the two cruise terminals is used by the Dream on its visits to Roatan ( Honduras ). I need to know prior to my visit on 13 Feb ( fingers crossed ). Thanks.

It looks like it will be Mahogany Bay. Check out their website: http://www.mahoganybaycc.com/port-schedule.aspx

Just followed your link to Mahogany Bay, and I'm sorry but it sounds awful! It's an artificial 'Disneyfied' port designed to make us spend our money on either our own ship's excursions or in Carnival's manufactured 'village'. Very little of any of the money that we spend will go into the pockets of Roatans, how will this tourism benefit the locals? Most of the independent excursion companies pick up from the old port which makes it difficult to do anything except use the ship's excursions.

Hi janflan,
You too don't like the American Dream either then. Let's hope that they don't get into Cuba. That said most of the Caribbean is heading that way. When they've all got like St Maarten & St Thomas I'll call it a day.

marine engineer, can you recommend a good company that operates excursions from Mahogany bay?

Hi, yes we have booked a tour with a company called Island Marketing also another trip with them for Grand Caymen.You can find them at roatancruiseexcursions.com their booking confirmation required letting them know which terminal the ship is using hence my question.Hope this is of help to you.

we were due to stop at mahogany bay but due to the wind we stopped at the second port in Roatan. We found this ok and infact Honduras was one of our favourite stops.:)

As Jessie36 says the Christmas trip went into the other port,
We enjoyed our stay there, particularly the close proximity of the terminal bar to the ship and the mini bus trip taken from outside the terminal area.
All the vendors are in kiosks so they cannot accost you, you have to go to them. Originally quoted $30 for the trip, we walked away. The boss lady dropped the price by $5 on our return.
Sorry I cannot give you a company name, the kiosk was second or third from the end on the right hand side.
Good luck

We went into Coxen Hole in Roatan during Christmas/New Year Cruise - it was absolutely beautiful. Fingers crossed you dock there.

Could you tell me how would you get there from the dock? Thanks!
