Cruiseshippers return when??

[swimbody]

I saw that the Cruise Ship Alliance has agreed NOT to resume service until AT LEAST November. My wife is super hesitant about staying on West Bay Beach due to the cruiseshippers and all the vendors that plague the beach when they are there. It's the reason we haven't been back to Roatan since 2013. She has zero patience for cruiseshippers and the destruction they bring to the islands they visit. Any thoughts on this? Once again thinking if/when things open back up its a visit to TBR up North or AKR but still on the fence. I'd consider a cheap Paradise Beach Hotel stay as well as that runs around $1800 with breakfast for a week during Christmas. The last time we were in Roatan the main West Bay road was still unpaved sand.

What was your question?

 

[swimbody]

I was asking for your thoughts or opinions about what you've heard about when the cruise ships will return to the islands to ruin them?

“Return to ruin them”?

You can’t lose your virginity twice.

come to Utila, never any cruise ships here !!!

 

[swimbody]

Yeah we went to utila about eight years ago and while the reef was beautiful it was overfished. Have the rules changed? Is there more species there? We also rented that famous pineapple house and the beach out front was littered with trash. Sort of a turn off.

I'd stay home if I were you. The world overflows with disappointments. That is why we surround resorts in exotic locations with chain link fences.

Oops, I was going to recommend the Pineapple House on utila. Different strokes for different folks

Thinking we’re getting ever-closer to hearing that grinding sound....

In a just world, the cruise ships would never return.
