Insel Posted March 16, 2010 #302 Share Posted March 16, 2010 :eek::eek: I'm pretty sure I'd rather have sand fleas than run into a 3ft long snake!!!!!! I'd have screamed and ran or fainted. LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one with that feeling. I have dealt with sand fleas...no picnic, but I am not a fan of anything that slithers. I was a panic about lizards, which are now fine, and don't want to see anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starz723 Posted March 30, 2010 #303 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My party is looking to rent a cabana. So tell me, which one is your favorite and why.. suggest one for me to rent. Thank you for your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted March 30, 2010 #304 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'll take the bait and say it once again. Any cabana is better than no cabana at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winniebru Posted March 31, 2010 #305 Share Posted March 31, 2010 We were in Half Moon last week and rented Cabana 14--- we LOVED it! I could have just stayed there forever! Although in one of the clam shells next to our cabana someone found 2 scorpions. We took pictures of one of them, a carnival worker came by shortly there after and killed it. He said a guest was stung by one about 3 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TnMama Posted March 31, 2010 #306 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks for the heads up on Island Critters...I grew up on a lake,so we always had to be aware of snakes...but there arent too many scoprions in N.MS where Im from. I feel a hammock calling my name from there.....only 102 more days till the tender..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxiang Posted March 31, 2010 #307 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Here's some recent pics from our visit to Half Moon Cay on March 21. We would rent the cabana again in a heartbeat. It was great. We were in Cabana 13 far down from all the action and the crowds--just how we liked it! We really enjoyed the loungers and the misting fan!

carly chloe Posted March 31, 2010 #308 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Does anyone know what things they have in kids area and does anyone have pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&RCurt Posted April 1, 2010 #309 Share Posted April 1, 2010 There is a climbing "fort" kind of thing with a water slide. Several water spray fountains and some animal looking plastic things for kids to sit/play on. I'm sure a closer look would have revealed some more setails, but I really didn't look that close while walking by. I have attached a photo I took of the area. Hopefully someone with small kids who used the area will chime in with better details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxiang Posted April 1, 2010 #311 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hope you guys aren't bored--I really liked seeing pictures before we went. Our cabana Misting fan Snorkeling equipment which we never used. Carnival asked us our shoe size when we booked Food offered with the cabana--Melons, assorted fruit, veggies with dip, tostitos, salsa and guacamole. The cooler in the back held 2 large water bottles and 8 cans of soda (we told them what kind when we booked) This was what was provided for 2 people. Sample from the BBQ (Carnival) We just made a plate and walked it back to our cabana. Cheeseburger in Paradise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carly chloe Posted April 1, 2010 #313 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Beautiful pics!!! Thank you so much! Does the beach always get that packed?? What size ship were you on? Is there food in the cabanas right away?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxiang Posted April 1, 2010 #314 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Beautiful pics!!! Thank you so much! Does the beach always get that packed?? What size ship were you on? Is there food in the cabanas right away?? We were on Carnival Liberty which carries ~3000 pax. The food and beverages were there when we got there on the first tender around 8 am. Staff came by around 3 times early in the day to make sure we had everything and we were happy with the setup. The also brought us plates and silverware for the food.They didn't come by to pick up our ticket to prove it was ours until we had been there for awhile, but they did collect it. The sand there is so soft. We really loved this place and would not hesitate to book it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted April 1, 2010 #315 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing for the benefit of those who have never been to HMC. HAL ships max out at 2,100 and I have never seen the beach that packed. Edited April 1, 2010 by Typhoon1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladycaveat Posted April 4, 2010 #318 Share Posted April 4, 2010 How does one celebrate finding out that they don't have cancer? The best Easter "gift" I got was yesterday when the biopsy came back negative. After several blood tests (to the tune of nearly $6,000 . . . what in the world do people do without insurance) . . . the blood tests made my doctor think I had multiple myeloma (sp). After the bone marrow biopsy and XRAYS came back, my hemotoligist/oncologist said it was MGUS and not multiple myloma (sp) . . . it was like getting a new lease on life. I wish I had a cruise planned this month . . . I need to celebrate!!!!!!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi2you Posted April 6, 2010 #321 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Are those the "clam shells" everyone mentions? Looking at the photos make me even more eager to get there. Any option looks good, clamshell, free lounge, free hammock, or simple sand. ahhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycaveat Posted April 6, 2010 #322 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Thanks for the kind words. Can't wait until September for my next cruise. Gonna party like I've never partied before . . . :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi2you Posted April 6, 2010 #323 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Found this site to see how many ships will be on the island on a given day http://www.cruisetimetables.com/cruisesvisitinghalfmooncaybahamas.html Luckily, it looks like we are the only ship there May 16.

Typhoon1 Posted April 6, 2010 #324 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Luckily, it looks like we are the only ship there May 16. Consider yourself fortunate. You've seen how packed the beach can get. IMO, that island was designed for one ship, and should only be used for one ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted April 7, 2010 #325 Share Posted April 7, 2010 We will be visiting Half Moon Cay in August. We are going to book a cabana and looking at number 8 the pink one. I see from the pictures it's pretty close to the restrooms. How far is it rom the Bar B Que area and bar? There will be 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 older teens.. Any suggestions on a better location? Dont want to be right in the heart of all the people.. What do you recommend for excursions for 16 ds? I have read the horseback riding is fun.. But the others havent gotten such rave reviews. Thanks for the help!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
