Yazoo cruiser Posted August 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Anyone know if you can book the chair lift on the ship or do you have to pay at the lift? I'm trying to figure if I need to take some extra cash since there will be 10 of us and I am hesitent about using my credit card in Roatan. THANKS.

golfadj Posted August 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2014 As long as you can walk say 1/4 mile it is a very easy walk and totally unnecessary to pay for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funinthesun1964 Posted August 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2014 If you want to do this, is it worth it? Wonderful views or anything? Is it safe? I'm terrified of heights :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreCruiser Posted August 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2014 you have to pay at the lift. No you don't. You can walk to the beach for free. We've done it a number of times, and my husband has a weak heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted August 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 22, 2014 You can book it through the cruise line as a shore excursion. You get a beach chair, some shade, and the chair lift tickets. You can add on a float and snorkel equipment. No need to pay cash just charge it to your Sail and Sign or credit card if you book in advance. We had the excursion tickets, but walked over to the beach. You couldn't get my DH on a chair lift if you paid him to go after getting stuck high above the Mississippi River on the gondola at the 1984 Worlds Fair in New Orleans.

snc_cam Posted August 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2014 save your money and walk, it is pleasant and short... but if you want to ride, it doesn't go that high, maybe 20-30' above the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeduke07 Posted August 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2014 DW and I paid and rode the lift. Not worth it to me. If im to ever go there again i will save the money and just walk to the beach. Dont buy the excursion with the snorkle and beach chair. The chairs are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted August 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It isn't high. Unless you are afraid of being off the ground at all it is very pleasant. You can buy a ticket at the site for jusr the "porch swing" as we call it. That doesn't include the clam shell rental. As others have mentioned it's a short walk down to the beach.

OCruisers Posted August 22, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 22, 2014 If you use the chair lift, you have to pay to do so and can book it as an excursion and it'll be charged to your shipboard account. It's a very easy walk on a nice boardwalk with benches spaced out along the side. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted August 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Anyone know if you can book the chair lift on the ship or do you have to pay at the lift? I'm trying to figure if I need to take some extra cash since there will be 10 of us and I am hesitent about using my credit card in Roatan. THANKS. If you rent a cabana, you get 4 chair lift tickets with that. So if maybe you have a couple of people in your party that have difficulties that might help. The cost is not bad if you split it between 10 people. And if you have kids that need to nap or anything like that, it can be handy for that as well. http://www.carnival.com/Activities/Excursion/518048 Have a great cruise!

pbmsmile Posted August 22, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think it is around $35 for the 2 clamshells, snorkle equipment and "flying chair for 2...but what if there are 3 in your group?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted August 22, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There are lots of shaded lounge chairs at the beach so never thought it was necessary to rent clamshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcathome Posted August 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 22, 2014 i booked in the boat. it was a listed excursion. If i had known how far it was to walk to the beach i would have saved the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandemcruzr Posted August 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There are lots of shaded lounge chairs at the beach so never thought it was necessary to rent clamshell. And the clam shell can block breezes and be very hot. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uapyro Posted August 24, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I hate heights, but I liked the chair lift. It did make me feel better since some was over water. It has been sold out on my cruise for a month or two for the one without the kayak/snorkel option, but since a single ticket is for 2 people, $30pp still isn't that bad for what's included with Kayak.

OCruisers Posted August 24, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) You could actually spend the day at the beach at Mahogany Bay and not spend any money at all! Walk over and use the beach chairs provided. If you want shade, sit under a tree. Do not buy any drinks or food and don't rent extra things like clamshells, etc. Just saying ... It Could Be Done!
