I know your focus was more on access to the water for snorkeling, but were you happy with the resort you ended up using for your day/beach pass? Do you think you could've just rented snorkel gear and swum out to snorkel from the shore?

I've researched the cruise line offerings, as well as a couple of tour companies but haven't quite found something that will fit our group for a Roatan excursion. We'd like to see some of the island and learn about culture/history, we have a small group and some would like to snorkel but not everyone, so a beach or pool area with snorkel rentals there (or through tour company) would be helpful, as long as the other people can sit & relax. So far the company that seems the most flexible takes us to Henry Morgan that gets bad reviews lately. The other is non-committal in where they do the beach experience and it looks like we have to pay for parts of the tour that we don't actually want (ie sloths). Does anyone have suggestions how we might best be able to get the experience we're looking for? We don't have any interest in animals or sloths/monkees, except the stuff we see while snorkeling. Are there beaches/resorts with day passes that would rent out snorkel gear for a reasonable fee, and would we want to just take a taxi there and try to skip any other sight seeing? Or is there a way we could actually create a trip more like we want? Thanks ETA: Coming on a Royal Caribbean ship, so I believe Coxen Hole will be our port.

Ours only shows a caribbean night plus the formal/best dress nights in the app. I was hoping for 80s but don't know where to look for that. Would it be listed separately as some sort of "party" on the ship or did they just do away with the extras since few people seem to participate anymore? Kind of was looking forward to fully embarrassing the nieces we're traveling with by dressing up.
