Mahogany Bay was built by Carnival so there is plenty to do in port. There is a nice beach with tons of chairs for you to use. There are places to shop and a few restaurants.
Unless you have booked an excursion, you will have plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast where you can watch the sunrise.
There was another Carnival ship in port while we were there. I'm amazed at their skills for backing in these large ships.
It took less than ten minutes from the time we left the ship before we reached the beach and that included the many times I stopped to take photos along the way. The landscaping was beautiful and I spent as much time looking at the plants as I did walking along the beach.
There are places to sit and relax along the way or you can take a nap in a hammock.
MAGICAL FLYING CHAIRS
If you have mobility (or not) you may want to check out the Magical Flying Beach Chairs. Think ski lift but without the snow. It will transport you from the port's welcome center to Mahogany Beach.
The port is quite isolated so there is nowhere to walk from there so if you want to really see the island, you will have to book a shore excursion, or arrange your own adventure for the day.
On my last visit to Roatan, we hired a driver and saw a little of the island and visited HENRY MORGAN BEACH RESORT. You can read about this resort for the day including costs.
Relax on the Beach
Let's face it, most of us go to the Caribbean for the gorgeous beaches. What's better than a beautiful Caribbean beach? A beautiful beach that is free and within walking distance of the ship!
They also have places where you can rent floats and kayaks.
And places to take funny photos.
And there is entertainment.
You will want to make sure you are on your balcony or on deck at sunset.
TO GET TO THE BEACH you will walk along the pier and through the Du-fry store. Once in the courtyard, you will need to go to the left to reach the chairlift and the path to the beach.
