Welcome to Roatan
Roatan is an island off the coast, (and part of) of Honduras. We did a snorkeling experience about 20 minutes away from the port. It was unique in that there was a huge drop off about 50 yards off the beach which made for some fascinating views. For whatever reason on this stop of the cruise I did not get any pictures other than in the port or any video
