All Things HALF MOON CAY !

I am cruising solo in Jan with a stop at HMC (so renting a cabana makes no sense). Now that I know about the loud music I am bringing a beach umbrella and walking far down the beach to set it up. I'll pick up my own snacks and drink, I guess. Will bring my own snorkeling gear too.

Wow what a great plan I can just imagine you there since we were just there in September. You will have a beautiful, peaceful, time in HMC.

I just returned and the cabana was fantastic! If you aren't interested in getting a cabana they set up chairs all the way down the beach in front of the cabanas. There certainly isn't much shade, but at least you can get a chair.

Another satisfied customer.

We've been to HMC twice. IMO, the cabana's not worth it to use because we'er on the move most of the day, but certainly a good choice fo many folks especially if you have older folks/kids/people who don't do well in the sun. If your enjoy walking/hiking you can go pretty far down the beach and also around some decent walking trails. We did the swimming horseback riding excursion one time, which was alot of fun. Can't wait to go back!

Everyone does different things at HMC.

What one finds enjoyable, another may not.

There are no cabanas available for our cruise. Am I understanding correctly that we can rent a clamshell that is farther down the beach in a quieter area? Do we just arrive and choose one? Thanks for info.

Anyone had this one? If so, were there many people in front of this cabana? How far of a walk to the bbq luncheon? Thanks for your replies.

I'd love to know the answer to this too. I have a cabana in May and was thinking of booking from #10-#12 so this would definately help with my decision. Thanks for asking!

Just had #12 twice in December, single ship at HMC. Yes, people may be in front of you on the loungers. But it isn't a big crowd, and they don't bother you. Even Cabana 15 had people in front of them.

The BBQ will be about a 10 minute walk.

Thank you CruiseBruce. I just want to make sure I'm away from the crowd. I don't mind a small bunch.

If you're worried about the walk to the BBQ, add the butler package. Nothing like a specially prepared meal from the Pinnacle Grill.

I'm good without a butler. I don't mind the 10 min walk at all. If not, I'll just ask my husband, my personal cabana boy to get something for me :D

Personal cabana boy saves me $270 to boot. Now another reason to take the hubby on a cruise to HMC ;)
