AryMay Posted November 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have discovered that on a port stop at Half Moon Cay (we are on the Zaandam) the Nieuw Statendam will also be there with a sold out ship for the Legendary Rhythm and Blues cruise. Will the fact that this is a charter cruise anyway impact our visit other than the island being more crowded than usual? The reason I ask...a few years ago we were at Amber Cove on the Nieuw Amsterdam at the same time as a chartered Carnival ship. Our plan for the day was to just enjoy the pool but found out once we got there that the pool was reserved for the charter guests only and we were not allowed in. I am wondering if there will be areas off-limit to us at Half Moon Cay? Will the food service on shore be combined for the two ships or will we be segregated? I was hoping that the Zaandam may arrive first (so we can get our favorite spots in the shade! 😉) but since the charter cruise is not listed on the HAL website, I'm not sure what time their arrival is scheduled.

Rare Essiesmom Posted November 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2022 HAL quite often has two ships at HMC so crowding should not be an issue. There is no pool, so how could you block off the beach? I don’t think you have anything to worry about. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted November 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2022 If they were to have a gig on HMC during the day then that area may be out of bounds to you. Don't know how they would handle it unless they used the pirate ship for the gig. Usually it is shared bbq dining as there is only one facility.

sun~ Posted November 14, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have done at least 10 LRBC cruises. I can tell you there will be nothing closed or out of bounds. Often one or two of the bands will set up at the pirate ship.or the stay here forever bar. We have shared stops in Tortola, and bands are set up at margaritaville. The guests on the other ships got caught up dancing and having fun where a some from the other ship nearly missed their sail away time 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, our day at Half Moon Cay may end up better with the bonus music! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Reddit there is a all you want to ask about a swingers-cruise. It's hilarious. Thank God It's not a Carnival or HAL-ship.

Greysandy Posted November 18, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 18, 2022 So this thread definitely started me down the rabbit hole. I am totally looking into the LRBC that is next October on the Koningsdam. It certainly seems like my idea of music heaven!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
