We just returned from a western itinerary on Freedom of the Seas. Hands down, my favorite excursion was the Royal Caribbean sponsored excursion to Maya Key in Roatan, Honduras. You board a small boat right beside where the ship docks and go to an island within sight of the ship. There is a beach with lounge chairs, a pool, an animal sanctuary and replica ruins. There is also a beautiful area to snorkel at the end of a long pier. They served a good lunch and there was a bar available. I would absolutely not hesitate to go there by myself. It was my idea of paradise.
