Half Moon Cay

[herb]

Heard that Carnival now also uses Half Moon Cay along with Holland America as their private island.

 

Anyone been there?? Your impressions?

Herb- We have been there twice- first with Carnival, then with HAL. It is a wonderful beach day island with all kinds of amenities.

 

We find the swimming very nice there- sandy bottom, clear water, etc. We took an excursion there with Carnival- the Eco-Lagoon tour which is interesting. All kinds of tours and water sports available.

 

Have also been to most of the other private cruise islands in the Bahamas and find Half Moon Cay to be the best for swimming. Enjoy.

thank you so much for the positive feedback. :D We've been to Great Stirrup Cay, CocoCay as well as Labadee... first time for Half Moon Cay and looking forward to it ... that is, if we end up booking cruise we're interested in :cool:

We've been to Half Moon Cay, Great Stirrup Cay, and CocoCay. In my opinion, Half Moon Cay is the most beautiful beach - just one long long beach, blue water ... quite surf. Paradise.

Then you are in luck because you can also visit HMC if you sail HAL.

I believe it is one of the most beautiful islands you will ever lay your eyes on. My family and I are the biggest fans. The island is a tropical paradise and is our favorite cruise stop. You will not be disappointed. Rent a cabana and bring alot of sunscreen.

 

 

The beach sand is white and has the consistency of powdered sugar. The ocean is turquoise and looks like you are in a swimming pool. If you venture off on the nature trails you will see some amazing tropical foliage. You will also see and hear peculiar tropical birds, packs of wild black-feathered chickens, and many small lizards.

 

"I wish I could stay here forever" is the official motto. Have fun! :)
