At one point I told my mom to grab one of those “Virgin” fruity drinks. I call them virgin because I swear you cannot feel a drop of booze in those things. Tasty though =)

So I stuck with my drink and gave that concoction to the ladies.

I must have stayed there for a few hours, then my aunt and uncle went for another walk and I joined them.

Then I noticed that we could actually go to the second floor and get a better view. So I called them up.

It was so hot that day. Good thing that the water was the perfect temperature.

Here is looking towards the inside of the island.

These last 2 pictures are from the same position as the ones above. The only difference is that I have the selfie stick fully extended as high as possible.

I was actually going to bring my power kite on this cruise, but after doing some research I noticed that the winds are not favorable on this side of the island

We then decided to head back to our beach area.

 

Saw this on the way there. Another picture opportunity, at least this one is kind of fun :)

That was the family renting the large cabana, going out for a stroll.

We made it back to the girls. Once we got there, we were all feeling pretty hungry. But I had no plans on going to the buffet and wasting precious beach time, in line getting a burger. So I asked them if they could bring me something and I would stay enjoying the water with my drink.

Yes, that is a seashell. I have no clue what I was doing. Maybe a few too many :D

My mom then offered to bring the camera with her and get some pictures for the review. I am happy to report that her pictures came out really good.

 

Here is the set.

At some point my uncle came back with my food. He told me the girls had gone shopping. Well, that's odd, them shopping?!?! LoL

 

The only picture that I got of my picture was with the gopro, so it is not the best.

 

untitled-2409_zpsjrxft5o4.jpg

 

The food was good, well either that or I was starving. I actually ended up eating both the burger and the hot dog.

 

The girls soon arrived. I asked mom to come with me to the bar and refill my drink, I was running low. My uncle joined us as well.

There were a few other umbrellas.

I am having a lot of fun reliving our first cruise. Your reviews actually inspired the wife and I to try our hand at a blog and reviews. We have been learning as we go. So far so good. Thanks for taking the (considerable) amount of time it takes to do these reviews. It's fun and rewarding, but man... so much work :).

 

Thanks again for the inspiration to start our own blog.

 

I loved your blog, glad I was part of the inspiration. You have that right, the amount of work that they require is ridiculous. But they sure are a ton of fun :)

 

Thank you for expressing your thoughts :)

Gambee, I am enjoying reading through your review. It is fantastic as always and detailed like I like. Thank you for all the work you put into it besides all the photos as well. I wanted to ask you a question that might have already been asked here but I wouln'd know where to find it. The question is this: Where did the ladies get their nautical shirts that they wore on the first day in the beginning of your review. I just love those shirts and would like to purchase them. Thanks

 

My mom bought them ahead of time at the Ross near my house.

 

 

Glad you're enjoying the review, thank you for posting.

Wow Gambee! Half Moon Cay is gorgeous! Truly la isla bonita!!

We went to Princess Cay back in March and it was not so nice; the sea floor seemed to have been made of cement there...it was SO rough. HMC looks like paradise; definitely on my to-go list now when we do another Caribbean itinerary...I think HAL goes there a lot as well.
