On a cruise stop in Roatán
Ships dock at Mahogany Bay or at the Port of Roatán in Coxen Hole. Stops are usually one day, so a 3-day plan covers it. We haven’t checked signal at the beaches and dive sites away from the ports yet.
Keep cellular data off while the ship is at sea and switch the eSIM on once you’re ashore. Our Caribbean cruise eSIM guide explains why, and how to cover several islands with one plan. For data at sea, our ship Wi-Fi guides compare each line’s packages with a cruise eSIM: Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, MSC and Princess.
Which network will I be on?
Honduras has two main mobile networks, Tigo and Claro. Airalo (its plan is called Honnet) says it uses Tigo; Nomad says Claro; Holafly lists both. Other providers in the table don’t always say which network they use; those rows show “Not stated”.
Roatán plans are Honduras plans
Providers list Roatán under Honduras, so look there if you search a provider’s own site. The same plan covers the other Bay Islands and the mainland, so it keeps working if you take the ferry to Utila or fly on to La Ceiba.
We haven’t tested signal on Utila or Guanaja, so download maps and dive-shop details before you head out.
