Want a FREE BEACH EXCURSION on Your Cruise??? CHECK THIS OUT!! Mahogany Bay Port in Roatan

We are in our first port of the cruise, in beautiful Roatan, Honduras. And one thing we love about cruising with Carnival is that they own the port of Mahogany Bay here... and there is a beautiful beach that you can enjoy completely for FREE!
We enjoy the morning on a quiet ship as most people have disembarked into the port, have a nice lunch and then get off ourselves and head to the beach. This is a beautiful port! It is laid out nicely and is very well landscaped and manicured. There is a nice walking path to the beach and even a nature trail which we decided to take this time. Once at the beach, we grab a couple of loungers in the shade and take a dip in the cool Caribbean. All while we can view our ship nearby. This is a perfect relaxing day in port!!

This was our first cruise port. Our budget was thiiiiiiiight and this free beach gave us life. It was $12pp for the ski left that was the only money we spent and the photos and views were life changing

[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

First, LOVE your videos! 2nd, you are knocking on the door to that silver play button! Welcome to the club!!!! 3rd The wind turbine question. Wind turbines are built with a braking system to control the blades from runaway. The brakes will slow the turbine when there is too much wind to operate the unit safely and can also lock the blades to a stop is need be. If the turbine is also taken OFFLINE meaning it isn't needed to produce power for the grid it is on, you will also see them at a stand still. 👊

[@iiKenTroN]

Right^ Power businesses don't want to over load systems or over spend creating power. so they only buy the cheapest power available to meet the load for the day

[@maricrisonil7324]

"Some Old Fashioned Things Like Fresh Air And Sunshine Are Hard To Beat'

[@indylaura99]

Wind turbines can stop turning their blades due to a variety of factors including wind speeds that are too fast or too slow and extreme weather conditions. The turbines will stop themselves from spinning if they cannot get any energy from the wind or if their blades will be damaged by a movement that is too rapid. They also stop them to do maintenance.

[@angelsmilkyway4352]

Thank you for the education. I literally came to the comment section to seek the answer.

[@susandiekmann]

Ok, how many people watched Jason try to spread his toes and then tried it themselves? LOL! I did! Mine don't spread much, but a little more than yours, Jason. Too funny! Hope the shoulder heals quickly and you're back in action soon!

[@Alice_Lugo_Studios]

I did. I can spread my toes a little bit. lol

[@dianealvarado6219]

Watching your videos makes me feel so much more comfortable about taking our cruise in a little more than a couple weeks on the vista

[@keithwhiddon3794]

I think Roatan was my favorite port when we sailed on the Carnival Glory for our Christmas/New Year’s cruise. We had an awesome all inclusive beach day and the service and scenery were awesome!

[@zekeayala5082]

Also this is the best video regarding the free beach !!

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks 😊

[@jasonbrown4112]

If there's too much wind speed, windmills can shut down operation to avoid damage. So, if it's really windy, it may be too windy for them to operate safely. That's one possible explanation.

[@angelaritter6475]

I figured it had more to do with the lack of infastructure to support the power it actually generates.

[@laurad.2154]

I don't know about the ones in Rotaan but the wind farms near us usually only run up to about half of the windmills at a time, and the running ones aren't producing at full capacity. It varies depending upon the amount of wind, the amount of juice in the batteries, and the maintenance schedule of the windmills. But the power cables are too old and too few to carry all the power from the wind farm to where the power is going to be used.

[@alej8902]

Hi Alisa and Jason! Wa agree 💯 percent. There’s nothing better than waking up early on a ship 🛳🌅🌊

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

Mahogany bay looks awesome!!! I love the idea of walking trails to the beach!!! I love the tropics but I grew up in the tropics!!!

[@mrbit10]

Windmills not spinning ~ either too much wind, maintenance or at electric capacity for the expected output. Port looks beautiful, one of the few i have not been along the gulf routes.

[@jasonbentleybrown]

I was aboard a ship in the Navy. Viet-Nam, crossed the Pacific, and the Caribbean. Got up and out early often before ship's work started to see the sunrise. Always the best way to start a day.

[@chanchan1076]

Jason you are hilarious! But, I agree....cruising is ideal for people with "short attention span"....just pack, get on a beautiful ship, and chill as you wish. ⛱ 🍸 🧉

[@toddb6576]

Jason, no no no. It is "Liquor before Beer, you are in the clear" and "Beer before Liquor, never been sicker". Great video, as usual. Comparing this to the one you did there a few years ago where you drove around the island. Thanks for sharing.

[@EECCTravels]

Well I quit drink liquor so it’s water for me…lol! Besides isn’t that the smarter way to go?! Lol

[@toddb6576]

@@EECCTravels Yes, you got is right Sir!

[@christinamaria8640]

I love Roatan! We’ve taken that nice little nature trail too once when we didn’t have an excursion booked and we saw a capybara!

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

We are there in a few weeks!! I LOVE this free beach! Carnival really did it right there in Roatan! Love your content...keep up the good work!

[@Funsizecruiser]

We miss you both, but love "virtual traveling" with you...until next time! Ps: still see you're enjoying that hot tubbin!

[@jameswade7550]

Love the start of the day with a beautiful sunrise. that one was Beautiful !!

[@Teri30]

Love your cruise videos, you guys are so much fun to watch!⚓️

[@elsiemejia8398]

Went there on the vista in July and had the jerk chicken and rice…. Best food and best experience I’ve had cruising was in Mahogany Bay!

[@norayancey4282]

Love Mahogany Bay-we rented one of the beach cabanas and it was fantastic. Husband found a conch shell, handed it to me and a huge hermit crab flew out. Got a a quick pic and I Brett Favre’d him back to a deeper locale.

[@charlenemorton8779]

Your editing is THE BEST!!

[@EECCTravels]

Thank you 😊

[@jodygirl2023]

We got rerouted there due to a medical on our last cruise and we all loved this port. Its beautiful and the beach is nice...had the strongest drink of my life there!

[@Boomer_Sooner]

That is a great beach to spend the day on. Great bar and food right there as well.

[@sheilamorse8271]

Love it

[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

Also can't wait to get back there to get some more of that chocolate rum!!!! Man that stuff is so good! We went back there a couple of years ago on the Breeze for the purpose of getting said rum only to get all the way there but the wind was too high for us to dock. We then went BACK to Cozumel for a 2nd visit on the same trip. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

[@user-es9zt4fm9g]

So happy I found this. I don't want to pay for an excursion!

[@sharenfreeman7773]

Wow looks amazing and not to busy, absolutely bliss xx

[@jlizardi5013]

Nice. You two are my kind of people. I will be walking the top decks and enjoying the views early in the morning. Will take advantage of pools and hot tubs on port days, but will never forget to explore the port or miss a beautiful beach!

[@outdoormomma7597]

Love the Vista and always love mahogany bay

[@kbmamaof3772]

So beautiful

[@TexasRoadrunners]

stay hydrated -LOL love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@shatimar9069]

New Subbie. Going on Vista in Sept. Lol Again but ty alot for this and all Vlogs. And I LOVE the chill on the Ship 1st thennn head off and that can cut back on some of the people. But yall being the only ship in port was a Major help too. Lol.

[@kerrimitchell1653]

Definitely want to go Roatan one day! Loving this cruise vlog! So great to see you guys!

[@mrjc12]

Wonderful! Keep on cruising!!

[@janetbeans6472]

That’s funny! I bet that everyone watching including me had to try and spread our toes! 🤪🤣👏👏

I agree ... nothing like being up early on a ship with a good cup of joe , listening to the ocean :)

[@cassiehyre4903]

Great video…… Guys Loved it ……..Makes me smile

[@smileycindymarie]

Jason: I laughed out loud when you were struggling to separate your toes!!!!

[@whale5646]

Mohagany Bay looks like paradise. Hey guys I am totally booked for my cruise. Had Michele booked my flight to Seattle. You need to give her a raise. She has been so helpful. May have to put your cruise to my bucket list. Hope you feel better soon Jason . Take it easy.

What a beautiful place. We hope to get there soon.

[@TheGeneral308]

We love Rotan so much.

[@ogweasel4273]

They can lock the windmills for maintenance and for other reasons. If it’s windy and they aren’t turning then they have them stoped for a good reason. Love y’all’s videos!! Much love from the IAH airport area in Humble Texas!!

[@EECCTravels]

We love flying from IAH 👍

I’ve been watching y’all to get hyped up about my family’s cruise in March out of Miami. I can’t wait to be sitting on a beach with a cold drink in my hand.

[@Pantherjonvideos]

I have to say Mahogany Bay has been THE best FREE beach we have ever been to..Was just there a couple weeks ago on the Mardi Gras..The Pride was also in port with us, so there were a LOT of people on the beach..Even so, it was a great time!

[@ellehaw2525]

[@2dollarbill650]

I know you missed this port 3 years ago. Because I was on that same cruise with you. Wind was pretty strong that day.

[@dweedy43]

I’ve been on Carnival Sunrise and was supposed to be on Carnival Pride from January 30-February 5 BUT had to push that cruise back to beginning of December because both my son & I ended up with Covid! I like the Cheers package that Carnival has! I eventually want to try other ships besides Carnival!

[@danniecombs38]

I was just in Roatan via Celebrity Edge and must say, every time I visit I reaffirm it's one of my favorite stops in the Caribbean.

[@EECCTravels]

It is a great stop!!

[@HuddleAdventures]

Nice job!

Thanks man! 👍

[@msfeistybabe]

I just found your channel today & have been watching some of your recent cruise videos & older packing videos!! Loving them so far, but a bit jealous about not being able to cruise yet.. we had ours canceled quite a few times over the past 2 years and lost a deposit once because we couldn't get a cruise rescheduled. But we still want to go again soooo bad!! I have been on 2 Carnival cruises. On the 2nd one I should have spent the day in Roatan the same way you did, relaxing on the beach. Instead I was slip-sliding all over the muddy trails from the rain we had when we arrive... on the ATV through the jungle excursion!!! Had a blast even after my muddy hands slipped off both sides of the the handlebars & my ATV went one way & I went the other!! Took home a beauty of a hand-sized bruise on my thigh but had a blast & was just worried about damaging their ATV!! They said it was fine & were super anxious & very worried I was hurt, until I assured them I was completely fine, just a bit muddier from the mudhole I landed in lol (I didn't know about the bruise until that night and over the next 2 weeks as it changed colors!) Sometimes it happens since they give each person their own ride and let a tomboy Mom who hasn't driven the ATV herself before have free rein to get muddy lol

[@TheRecon1a]

Port days on a Simi empty ship..Awesome!!🔥🔥

[@EECCTravels]

Yes, it was really nice!

[@niccimerrow4922]

All modern wind turbines are are set to stop turning automatically if there's too much energy in the wind. ... The reason turbines shut down like this is for safety - if the wind is too fast it can put major stress on the blades and mechanisms inside the turbine causing lots of friction and long term damage.

[@angelaritter6475]

Then why are we building them? Sounds like more energy/work being used to maintain

[@jocelynehartford6460]

Thank you for making the most amazing videos! We will be on the Norwegian Encore at the end of this month and wanted to know if they allow you to bring your own case(s) of pop onto the ship. Keep up the great work! Canada loves you guys👍

[@Alice_Lugo_Studios]

Norwegian does not allow you to bring your own beverages on any of their ships. Enjoy the Encore.

Can’t wait to have one and a guys burger!

those modern windmills will run till the batteries they have at the base are fully charge and then they will turn off till the battery is below a certain percentage of charge

[@ruralrayne]

Roatan is beautiful, we went to the same beach during our July '21 sailing, but man is Fat Tuesday expensive. We spent over $60 for just myself and mother to eat and have one alcoholic drink each.

[@Thee0nlyKyle]

Been to roatan, not one of my favorites, the city’s there are not clean. It was cool seeing how they live though, the excursion we did was a over the water bungalow and I loved that though. Cruised on the ncl joy ❤️

[@TD-ce5ru]

We enjoyed Routan.

[@gregoryhelm4230]

Another great video guys 🥰 but OMG I almost choked to death. When you're in the hot tub and Jason can't spread his toes and Alisa's you're like well can you wiggle them? And Jason's like well of course I can wiggle them. I'm having such a hard time even talking this comment in because I'm laughing so flipping hard. Anyway your videos always consist of food it's 2:00 in the morning I'm trying to lose flipping weight. But here I am eating some Cheez-Its with a Sprite. Back to toes you got to that part I've already written above I seriously almost choked I was laughing so flipping hard. You guys are so entertaining. Really enjoy your videos can't wait for the next one. Thanks for the laughs 😂😂😂🤣🤣p.s. Alisa I think that's a special talent. Because I had to take my sock off to see if I could do it. I can't do it either. You must have been a ballerina or in gymnastic's a cheerleader? or something with that kind of capability.. this is ssue by the way this is my brother's phone 😍 I don't know why it struck me so flipping funny it just did. 10 minutes later I'm still chuckling. I need to go to bed.. I really enjoyed the tour beautiful flipping Beach. I really like your swimsuit by the way it's cute that's the type I wear too...And the nature trail was so pretty 🥰 but you were making me laugh there too. The nature trails really great if it weren't for the music coming from hard Rock. Then Jason start singing of course and the best was.. How many people do you think hit their head on this tree? Before they marked it? 🤣🤣🤣

[@susanwhite2466]

Love your videos. Can't wait to get to meet you guys on the breakaway vloggers group cruise in January of 2023. I know y'all have been in New Orleans what hotel do you recommend that is close to the cruise port.
