elegant.

another.
Optional Sight-seeing Tours Port: Roatan, Honduras Tour
Company: Bodden Tours Where did you go and what did you do? We booked a $40 per
person private tour from Bodden Tours. Set up was easy via email and reply was prompt. Once we got off the ship,
we met at the rendezvous point. Within 10 minutes we were in a car with a guide. He was very informative and spoke
relatively good English. We went all over the island and stopped at different little shops dotting the roads.
We liked that we didn't have to wait on groups of people. We set the pace and lingered as long as we wanted at different
areas. We saw all the pretty views of the island, along with monkeys, birds and other animals at their tour storefront.
Upon recommendation from the guide, we went to Pirates of the Caribbean Zip Line. Price was $65 per person.
It was April's first time and she absolutely loved it! We were trucked to the top of a mountain and went through
a series of 8 different zip lines to get back down to the storefront. Definitely stop there.
Did
you explore and of the surrounding area/towns on your own? Yes! Cozumel, Mexico April had
been to Paradise Beach before and we took a taxi there from Puerto Maya. Taxi service had a price list at our cruise
terminal we could use so that we didn't have to haggle or use a meter. The beach was amazing. We initially
planned on staying about 2 hours and ended up staying the entire day basking in the sun and having drinks. It was a
great place to relax before boarding the ship.
What is one thing, in your opinion, that everyone traveling
to this destination should do/see? Roatan - Zip Line Cozumel - Paradise Beach
Over-all
Satisfaction with your vacation: 5 - Seven day cruise was the perfect amount of time to relax before we started
mission the rest of the family at home. We both loved the fact that we turned off our cell phones and work phones so
that no one could call us. Although there was internet access we didn't use it. We wanted to be totally unplugged
from the world and I think we achieved it. If you are looking for a great relaxing time with plenty of great food, then
take Princess Cruise. We will being doing another cruise in the future.
