Once Patti got back to the cabana, she found me enjoying myself in the water….. I came ashore and had Jerry bring us some more drinks. I’m starting on my second bucket of beer….. A short time later we had Jerry bring us some lunch. Patti had the chicken fingers, and I had the loaded nachos….. We noticed that every cabana had hummingbird feeders. Man, those little birds are fast! At this point the camera got put away and we spent the afternoon enjoying our cabana, the beach bed, the water, and our drinks. Around 4:30 we decided to head back to the ship. Our tab, including a large tip for our server Jerry, was $170. We will be back here on the Celebration next April, and our Beach Cabana is already booked! To be continued….. -

Thanks! That's the effect that we are looking for. "Live" reviews aren't our thing to do, but we sure enjoy reading them! -

Patti continues following the Nature Trail….. Patti captures some of the flora and fauna….. Once she emerges from the Nature Trail she heads over to where the Carnival Excursions and taxi’s leave from…… Here are the taxi rates….. This picture brings back memories. The first time we came here around six years ago, we had a non Carnival excursion booked. Independent excursion providers were not allowed onto the Mahogany Bay property to pick you up, so you had to walk up this hill and down the other side, and off of the property where they could meet and pick you up. However, upon return they were allowed onto the property to drop you off. Not sure if this is still the case or not. To be continued…… -

No, just go to the cabana area and an attendant there will set you up. It's first come, first served when picking your cabana. The sooner you get there, the more choices you will have. -

Patti heads out to start her photo tour of Mahogany Beach. She exits behind our cabana and heads across the path to the bathrooms, which are kept very neat and clean….. Patti then checks out El Hideaway, the bar and restaurant out at the end of the beach. This is a favorite hangout for crewmembers, and it is right by the dock that heads out to the snorkeling area……. Here are the Beach Rules…… Patti heads out on the dock. Looking back towards the cabanas, she sees me relaxing on a beach bed enjoying another beer….. To be continued….. -

We really love our cabanas, and we try to get one at the locations that have them. If not, then we shoot for an all inclusive property. -

Today we have a Beach Cabana over at Mahogany Beach, so we left the ship pretty much as soon as it was cleared. Here are Patti and I in front of the much photographed Mahogany Bay sign…… Here are some views of Mahogany Bay as we make our way to the Magical Chairs, the chairlift that will take us over to Mahogany Beach….. We are now on the Magical Chairs on our way to Mahogany Beach. For those that have cabanas, the price is included with the rental. Here are a few views…… Looking over at the Mardi Gras we can see our cabin. It’s on the third deck from the bottom and the seventh cabin from the left, with the lounger that’s sideways…..

Day # 12 (May 4th) - Isla Roatan (8am – 6pm). We were up at 7am, just as the Mardi Gras was pulling into Mahogany Bay. It was still pretty dark as the Captain spun the ship around to back into her berth….. We were docked by 7:30am. We would be the only ship at Mahogany Bay today. Here are some views taken from our balcony looking forward and aft…… The gangways have been pulled out already….. Here are today’s “Fun Times”……. To be continued….. -

Thank you so much! Patti was pretty heartbroken over the whole thing, but now she has a new camera which is a step up from what she had before. -

Patti thanks you! She does her best work while I'm sitting and having a few beers somewhere. We love sharing information and pictures with everyone, plus doing these reviews helps us to re-live our adventures. -

They are all starting to get a bit pricey. Sign of the times I guess.
