gillhalfpint Posted January 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2016 On our cruise Jan 15 we were due to dock at Mahogany but ended up dropping anchor and going by tender to Coxon. Don't know if that was a one off or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer466 Posted January 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We stopped at Mahogany Bay (self contained Carnival resort(I think)) when we were out last March. Do remember the skipper saying at his talk if the wind is 20kt> it can be difficult to get in. The ships (maneuvering) engines are under powered for the task and apparently the local tug has trouble pulling a skin of a custard. He said on that day we only just got in and he was on the verge of abandoning it. We actually went to Frenchies beach resort down the coast on our stay which was most excellent but I was a little perturbed to see security guards carry 870 Remington shotguns all over the place. Banks, Petrol stations ect. Taxi driver said it can be a violent place. All that said the port area has everything you need (including a great beach) is fenced off like the Eurotunnel and has armed guards at the gate. On reflection if we ever went back we would stay in the secure area at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillhalfpint Posted January 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Glad I didn't know about the violence when I went over as I wandered round outside the port area in Coxon on my own as Ray couldn't get a tender in January. Kids in a very poor area in town were offering to take me on a walking tour and I went to the shore outside the port area and sat on a log form a while.
