carnival03 Posted January 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2014 We will be on the Legend in April and I've heard stories about other ships not making it into port at Mahogany bay. Has anyone ever had this problem on legend and or other ship? Will they substitute it with another port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspot Posted January 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We sailed on the Dream Jan 4-11th of this year. We did not make it into Mahagony bay. We have been there twice before, and know the ship backs into a narrow channel to dock. The seas were rough the whole week and we did not make it into Roatan. We also did not make it into Belize.:(:( It was too rough for tender. According to the captain there were no other viable ports. There was a very unusual weather pattern during that week. We were refunded port taxes and given a glass of champagne on the last formal night. Carnival also gave a 25% discount on a future cruise (some restrictions apply). This was totally unexpected since the cruise contract allows the cruisline to cancel ports for safety reasons. We are in the planning stages to repeat the itinerary on the Legend in May:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marym933 Posted January 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Spirit class ships are smaller and narrower. We made Mahogany Bay with no problem. We watched one of the larger Carnival ships attempt to make it in, then leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmac3 Posted January 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We were on the January 4th sailing of the Legend and weren't able to dock at Mahogany Bay. I actually thought we had docked - we were alongside the dock but they made an announcement they were unable to dock for safety reasons and we left. It was stormy there anyway.

Did you go to another port? Or did they just slow the speed of the ship getting back to Tampa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
