tgeonetta Posted December 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We were in Half Moon Cay last week and had perfect weather, so I decided to take my drone out and fly around the beach. I flew it out to the Nieuw Amsterdam ship as well. The new lobster shack is shown right around the 10 minute mark.

CruseKrazy Posted December 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Wow. Nice video, nice place! Is there a separate resort there as well or are all the facilities associates with HAL? Was that large boat the tendor or were there smaller tendor boats? Really like the look and feel. Thanks for posting, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted December 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Half Moon Cay is HAL's private island. It is also used by Carnival ships as well. It was built by Carnival Corporation. There is no other resort there. There are 2 large tenders and 1 smaller one. You will never see a Carnival ship there at the same time a HAL ship is there. But there are times when 2 HAL ships use the island at the same time. Great Video!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyDenise Posted December 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Since Drones are banned how did you do this? From banned list: Drones also referred to as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Remotely Piloted Aerial Vehicle (RPA), and any other remote controlled aerial devices/toys.

jtl513 Posted December 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) You will never see a Carnival ship there at the same time a HAL ship is there. You probably will not see a HAL and Carnival ship there at the same time, but it has happened: Last year when we at HMC there was a Carnival ship there also. They got to use "Island" tenders, we had to use ship tenders. Once on island all mingled together.Jane I read about this happening last year. A Carnival ship ended up there at the same time ( due to a re route I think) . Carnival guests were mad that no cabanas or excursions could be purchased but happy that the buffet was more HALish. HAL pax were mad that the music and party games were Carnival style. Edited December 1, 2016 by jtl513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought as a banned item it would have been taken at boarding and returned at the end of the cruise. I could be wrong or maybe they missed it. ?????

Rare ski ww Posted December 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Enjoyed the video, thanks for posting. We will be there in Jan. Hope for good weather, last time we couldn't tender due to high winds & waves. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted December 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Wonderful - how lucky to have just the one smaller ship that day. We too had a perfectly delicious day early November - never felt the water temperature so inviting that day. I truly never wanted to leave. Only drawback was being there with the NA at the same time, which did make this lovely stop a real crowd scene. Thank for this very novel look at our "own" private island.

canadianbear Posted December 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Very cool-really enjoyed watching it. Thanks so much for sharing-we haven't yet been there so this makes it even more exciting and hoping next year to experience it first hand. The water looks gorgeous.

But how did HAL miss it after it was airborne? This thread cracks me up! If I posted a video of me smoking on my balcony (after Jan. ) while drinking tea and smuggled vodka from my electric kettle while ironing .. all plugged into a surge protector.. I'd be thumped on.

fishin' musician Posted December 1, 2016 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That is really slick, nice job! I would think HAL may have in interest in using it ??? Would you mind sharing the details of the equipment used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Carnival has funded upgrades and expansions of what is offered there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
