Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a private destination by Carnival Cruise Line and I'm going to give you guys a full port tour.

What Carnival is doing to this island is absolutely amazing. They are revamping it.

The beach is absolutely beautiful today. The water is beautiful today, y'all.

Everything is a little bit pricey.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book chairlift tickets online before your cruise for $12 instead of $18 in port.
Bring cash or a credit/debit card as room keys don't work for purchases.
Wear tightly tied shoes for the tram ride and walking.
Visit the free beach side if you want to avoid extra costs for umbrellas or cabanas.

YouTube Video Description

Mahogany Bay in Roatan, Honduras is now becoming Isla Tropicale, and in this full cruise port tour, I’m walking you through what to expect when your ship docks here. I visited while sailing on Regal Princess, and this tour gives you a real look at the port area, shopping, excursion meeting points, taxi area, beach access, chairlift, restaurants, cabanas, free beach seating, and more. If you’re cruising to Roatan and wondering whether Mahogany Bay / Isla Tropicale is easy to explore on your own, this video will help you get a better idea before you go. In this video, I show: The main port shopping area Souvenir shops, vendors, coffee, chocolate, and duty-free shopping Where to meet for excursions Where taxis and independent tour access appear to be located The chairlift/tram to the beach area Walking vs riding to Mahogany Beach Free beach chair areas Paid cabanas, umbrellas, and upgraded beach seating Restaurants, bars, restrooms, showers, massage area, foot spa, and more What you may want to know before spending money in port A few things to know: your cruise card may not work for purchases here, so bring a credit/debit card or cash just in case. Prices can also change, especially as the destination continues developing into Isla Tropicale, so always check your cruise planner before sailing.
