Travel On The Level

Ski-lift to the beach?

That's what you can do when your cruise takes you to Carnival Cruise Lines' Mahogany Bay Cruise Center in Roatan, Honduras.

The "Magical Flying Beach Chair" takes four people at a time on a six-minute ride directly from the cruise terminal to the line's private beach.

Cost: $5 for unlimited rides.

Sounds like a good way to eliminate steps, stairs and encounters with anything not "groomed" by the cruise line. If that's your thing, go for it.
