We have been to both ports more than ten times. We like the Western Caribbean ports. In Roatan, the ship docks at Coxen Hole. There is a small area at the port with shops. We once walked outside of the fenced area into town and I would not do that again. Too many asking for handouts. I agree with the two tour agents mentioned. Both also have booths inside the gated port area and are willing to sign up more passengers. West end beaches are nice. Some like Little French Key. Look on the boards that focus on both ports on CC. Lots of information to be found. Costa Maya port area is not to my liking. It is very touristy-shops sell mostly junk and I would rather get out and see other areas. We have never stayed inside the gated port as it gets crowded and there are other places to experience. We have liked Maya Chan as an all inclusive resort. Lovely owners. They provide transportation to and from the resort. There is also a water park in Costa Maya-but again look at the Costa Maya board for information. I do not use the cruise lines for excursions. I read the port boards and read the experiences of others. There are many high profile tour agents in Roatan, but not so for Costa Maya. Most go to the malecon area to one of the many resorts. Taxis are readily available at the exit to the gated port area.

Thank you for sending the link!

Is there a link to see the video?

This link details 7 ways to travel from Newark (EWR) terminal to the Brooklyn cruise terminal. Helpful with pricing ! https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Newark-Airport-EWR/Brooklyn

I loved your review. Such detail and informative content. Great job and thank you for sharing your cruise with all!

Happy for all who will be sailing away on the Summit today. Have a wonderful time!!

We stay at the Marriott Airport hotel in Newark on a regular basis. Nice concierge lounge-restaurant is nice and rooms (although small) are comfortable, clean and no issues there! Regular airport shuttles to and from all terminals. I go directly to Marriott for best rates and never had a problem. We really use the hotel when we have an early out of state flight the next day and need to be close in the early AM to save time and also to return our rental car. Would not hesitate to stay there again.
