I would reach out to guest services with the cruise line. On their FAQ page Carnival lists that Metal detectors are an exemption with use in Ports of Call only. However that doesn't necessarily apply to Half Moon Cay...

This is due to how the Bahamian government views citizenship under their own laws. You’re good with a legal, valid passport from where you have citizenship.
For example, if you’re born in France and become a US citizen with a US passport, you can use your US passport to travel to the Bahamas, as you would theoretically no longer be a French citizen.
(I’m pretending dual citizenship isn’t a thing to make this less complicated)

I would reach out to DCL directly... The Special Services team handles all of those policies and working with families with special requests/medical needs. They would probably be able to answer any other questions in regards to mobility/physical disabilities and any other assistance your family would need.
A friend of mine cruised many years ago following abdominal/cancer surgery and could only eat pureed food. The Special Services team was able to work with her family to make sure packages were in compliance for customs and that the dining team was aware. From what she recalls, the Special Services team was able to get everything taken care of.
