Half Moon Cay?

[ShaynaS]

I am thinking of booking a short cruise to the Bahamas stoping at HMC. I know this island is owned by CC but what is available there? I have never been to a private island so I have no idea.

I read you can rent cabanas anyone know the cost? Also read that there is a BBQ place, is this the only place to eat and are the prices resonable? Thanks for any help!!!

The link below might be of more visual use than any words.

Half Moon Cay is simply wonderful!! :)

And the cookout (BBQ) food is included in your cruise fare, so nothing extra charged.

Enjoy, and Bon Voyage!! :D

All the food (and drink) has to be taken to the island from the ship, and then everything left (plus trash) taken back to the ship.

That makes since now that I know the food is included.

We paid $225 for up to 4 people (we were only two). You get the cabana, snorkel gear, shower, lounge chairs, table w/4 chairs, soda, water, chips, dips, fruit, floatie mats....might be leaving something out.

 

There is an additional charge for more than 4 people...can't remember what it is, either $25 or $50pp.

 

I've also read that some people were charged $219 for the same. So I guess it can vary.

 

There are only 15 cabanas, so if you want one, be sure to be in line when the excursion desk opens. The higher the number, the further down the beach it is. Cabana #1 = lots of traffic, near activities. Cabana #15 = lots more privacy.

 

If you don't rent a cabana and want soda and/or water, your S&S card will be charged.

Another great video....By the way the island is owned by Holland America....Been there three times and love it. It is the prettiest private island I have been to...

HI just got back from Half Moon Cay in September. We rented a cabana and invited our friends to stay with us. We did not tell them they were going to be with us because they would charge extra for each person. We had an awesome time while we were there. We went and got the BBQ lunch and took it back to the cabana and ate! Wonderful, wonderful day!

Which in turn is owned by Carnival Corp.

 

With a beach like this:

 

and water as beautiful as this:

 

This is probably my favorite beach.
