Be interesting to see how this changes for future cruises. Shows how fluid things will be. Wonder why they specified “for this cruise only”.

Like you said, it’s fluid, every day something changes. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or could it be related to the hurricane? It looks like South Bimini is in the direct path of the hurricane but HMC is a little more north and east. Anyway, TWO DAYS AT HALF MOON CAY IS A RARE TREAT!

Joe817 Posted July 2, 2021 #15 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Can you imagine the insurrection that would happen from the guests on a ship that sails into a port with all bars closed? I can't. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it also limits people to groups of 5 on beaches and what not.So excursions really won’t be a thing unless it’s not on a beach. I don’t have a lot of knowledge about Bimini, but I think most of it is beach stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't. I know I normally hit up a bar in port to try some local brew, but since Bimini is a part of the Bahamas, I’m sure I’ve had it. Unless it’s super local stuff.
