rained during hmc day

it must be george bush's fault

:mad: That sux. HMC is the best... sorry you got rain!

it must be george bush's fault

LOL Reminds me of when the nutjobs were blaming Katrina on Bush saying he made the storm to kill black people. Hell they blamed him for EVERYTHING. LOL

No,it is debris from the Japan tsunami. ( Accuweather is blaming our above normal heat in Chicago area on the same)

We had a storm roll in right after we got lunch on our HMC day back in 2009;

It rained so hard that we lost sight of our ship;

The majority of the HMC sun worshipers headed to the ship as the storm rolled in and as you can see many of them were on tenders by the ship as the storm past by;

By the time we left, the sky was beautiful and everyone was gone;

Nothing like your own deserted island. Love it!

It amazes me that people spend the day in the water but as soon as is starts to rain they run for shelter.

Bear with me folks.......never "been there, done that".....so barring a monsoon making it impossible to tender....if a storm like that blows in and the majority of folks head back to the ship, is EVERYONE required to leave?

They only require you to leave if the storm is going to make it dangerous to tender. I hate when you have to miss HMC. It is our favorite island.

DW would be back on the ship. does not like to get rained on.

I love the rain (lived in Seattle for 15 years) would not mind a little rain shower when we visit in August, it clears everything out :D

The pictures of the progression are wonderful

I don't mind showers, but we had rain in all three ports of our Legend cruise, and the same in most of our stay in our last Bermuda cruise.

We had a beautiful, sunny, but windy day when we were scheduled for HMC last fall. The captain decided it was too windy to tender and so we had an unscheduled 'Fun Day at Sea' instead.:(

What/where is HMC?

It POURED all day when we were there in June. But even in a monsoon its the prettiest place I've ever been to!

What/where is HMC?

HMC is Half Moon Cay, a private island in the Bahamas. Was formerly Little Salvador Island before being acquired by HAL. After Carnival Corp. acquired HAL, CCL ships now make stops at HMC although HAL has first dibs on HMC. It is a beautiful beach day and they set up a big lunch service for everyones enjoyment. Lunch is free; pop, beer and alchohol drinks can be purchased.

Thanks for the pics, that was cool. Was your cabana dry or was it just wooden planks that the rain came through? Just curious because we rented one. Thanks!

When it rained and we were in the cabana we didn't get wet at all

nina_930,

Half is dry and half wet. DW pulled a lounger back under the dry part and slept thru most of the rain; I hit the water once it really started pouring and loved every second of it.

Watching the ship disappear;

DW snug and dry;

View of the ship from the water;

Cruise Critic friends from Canada who had the cabana beside ours also enjoyed the water during the storm;

Just when we thought it was raining as hard as it could, it would then rain even harder;

Karen said it was the best sleep she ever had, but I sure wish she had been with me;

Nope, President Bush is retired now, it's a Obama/Pelosi thing, they are saying "Oh yes we can" !!!! :-);)

Here is a picture of HMC from space, you can see the two cruise ships in front of the beach.

Was on Miricle mid May 2010, we hit the worst storm i have ever seen, it was nice till we tendered to the island, we set up "shop" on the beach , the kids got in the water, i snorkeled for all of 10 minutes and than it happened , the sky opened up with thunder and rain that we could not believe, every ran for the brabecue, than is stopped and looked promising, but NO, it started agian just as we where making our way to the tender...we lost a video camera and ships phone...(yeah i know why take a ships phone off the ship...dont ask..but i cost me for my stupidity)..but who knew it was going to rain that bad...we have been in showers before , but they always pass by..NOPe..the rain was so bad that the bottom deck of the tenders where flooding...VERY DISAPOINTED...but oh well the bar's where open and the booze was flowing and the kids enjoyed CAMP Carn...and mom and dad enjoyed the drink....:cool:
