Default Half moon or great stirrup?
Which to you prefer for kids? Do they both have tenders?

Any of the Private Islands are all pretty similar. The kids will enjoy either. Of course, our personal favorite is HMC.

Both use tenders. HMC is much better.

To my knowledge, Castaway Cay is the only private island where the ship can dock.
