iheartmarshall Posted March 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Cruising to HMC in June 2022 and am debating purchasing a clamshell. I've heard horror stories of people getting there late and there not being any clamshells left, but I'm pale AF and the shade would be a nice option. If you've purchased one, are they worth it? Any tips or things I should know? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't edit but I'm definitely asking about the clamshells. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickerj Posted March 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I don't know offhand how much they cost, but I just wanted to comment that I had a friend in high school with skin like yours (assuming that's your picture in your avatar), and by the end of our first day on our senior trip to Florida, he looked like a lobster. Shade would have been a godsend on that day. 🙂 If I planned to sit for an extended period rather than exploring, I'd probably spring for it.

CruiserBruce Posted March 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Our dermatologist says a cabana, or a clamshell, are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuckoo7 Posted March 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I don't know the prices either, but there is nothing in the way of shade on the beach at all. So if you burn easily, I would certainly consider a clamshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leen729 Posted March 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just returned from Half Moon Cay. I think we paid $30 for a clamshell. Definitely worth it as there is no shade on the beach. Get there early and there should be plenty available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can those be rented on the island as well or are they only available thru the cruise planner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moobear67 Posted March 14, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring your own "clamshell" (actually one of those small pop up tents for the beach that are shaped like the clamshell, but it's not as heavy or thick as the ones on HMC.)

Asked here a few times. Yes, you can...if you wish to use that sort of space. But I would be considerate of not blocking the views of others.
