Havana

Nice beaches and enjoyed a glass bottom boat over the Coral reef.

Roatan

Interesting visit to Mayan ruins in the middle of a rain forest although they were little different to those seem a couple of days earlier in Belize
I think these were better and would suggest just doing these ruins unless you have a specific interest in Mayan ruins
We had a torrential tropical storm so would advise taking some rainwear (eg a poncho)

Just a beach type resort. Nothing special.Can swim with dolphins here in a man made lagoon area

Cozumel

Interesting only in that it is a major offshore banking base and different from much of the other Caribbean in that it has many modern office buildings for multi national banks, accountants, solicitors etc.
Very flat island

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

It would have been nice if the ship had announced this to help unnerve the passengers

MSC did arrange for our return flight to Gatwick to be diverted from Havana (where the hurricane was due to strike on the day of our flight) to Cancun in Mexico

The return journey was however complete chaos where whilst MSC did provide boats to the Mexican mainland then buses to Cancun the only communication was in Spanish after we left the ship.Whilst the TV news-feeds gave grave warnings about the potential destruction that this hurricane would bring there was no communication from the ship crew until 2 days before our disembarkation date which we thought was really poor as most passengers were worried.
