remharri Posted February 21, 2009 #28 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Now it's Half Moon Cay.....the reason I booked this itinerary!!! We were able to get a cabana. We wanted to be far away from the action and we got the second to the last one on the far end. Number 14. This beach is beautiful. And just like everyone says, the sand is like talcum powder. With the cabana, you get a fruit tray, veggie tray, a large bag of chips, a tray with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and ranch, about 8 oranges, soda and water. There is a buffet starting at 11:30am. They have hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, cole slaw, desserts, and a couple other types of salads. Here's another picture showing the inside of the cabana: We really enjoyed just hanging out in the cabana. I didn't go in the water, but Kenny said it was too cold for him. The last tender was at 2:15. Around 2 we started heading back to the pier. The line was loooong!! We decided to let the end of the line come to us, so we just sat in the chairs and waited. Would you mind sharing how much it cost for one of these lovely Cabanas? We will be there in April, and this just looks oh so nice. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted February 21, 2009 Author #29 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Would you mind sharing how much it cost for one of these lovely Cabanas? We will be there in April, and this just looks oh so nice. :D I don't mind at all! It was $225 for up to 4 people. There is an additional charge for extra people...I believe it was $50pp. I know it might seem kind of steep, but was well worth it, IMO. There is an air conditioner and a ceiling fan. And a shower. The lounge chairs were very comfy. It was just real nice to be able to sit comfortably and have some shade. You can only book a cabana once you get on the ship. So my advice is to get to the excursion desk ASAP (they opened at noon). There are only 15 cabanas and I think they go quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilya Posted February 21, 2009 #32 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Oh my gosh, EVA!! She was our waitress on our cruise last month on Destiny! She is the absolute BEST. So sweet and a GOOD waitress. Thank you so much for the pictures. I am all nostalgic now and want to immediately get back on board the beautiful Destiny. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy0804 Posted February 21, 2009 #33 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Fantastic review, Mona! I love all the pictures. Thank you for taking the time to write about a great ship and a wonderful itinerary. It was nice to meet you at the M&G. I also noticed my DH and DS in one of your pictures - kind of cool!! ;) I also liked the picture of your platinum perks and the good night treats. Only 8 more cruises to go before we have esthetically pleasing bedtime snacks....:D You did a really great job documenting many aspects of the cruise that will be helpful to so many people. As well, your sense of humour is refreshing. We had one of those mysterious flushing toilets on our first cruise. We thought we didn't know how to flush it correctly. It was so tempermental. What a great gift for Ken! I am sure you are already planning your next cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teahoney Posted February 21, 2009 #34 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Great review. Grand Turk looks absolutely gorgeous. I got lost in those pics for a minute there. That may be my cruise for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-N-Steph Posted February 21, 2009 #35 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks for the GREAT review. I love how you put the pictures in as you go. I hope they get the slide and green pool problem fixed before April as there will be 6 kids in our group on the Destiny. But you never know the kids might love the bubbles. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenMo Posted February 21, 2009 Author #44 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks for the GREAT review. I love how you put the pictures in as you go. I hope they get the slide and green pool problem fixed before April as there will be 6 kids in our group on the Destiny. But you never know the kids might love the bubbles. :D I never went back to check the slide. But maybe they were just cleaning it at the time. And the green pool....hopefully that will be cleaned by April....lol! Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted February 21, 2009 Author #45 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thank you for the review! I am looking into this cruise for the end of June. I wanted to rent a cabana also, does it come with the snorkling stuff come with it? How far are you from the buffet for lunch having #14? Yes, snorkle equipment came with it. They'll ask the shoe size for everyone in the cabana at the excursion desk. I'd guess the food pavillion was about a 5 min. walk from #14. There is a paved walkway behind the cabanas. The bathrooms were behind #10. And then it was again as much to the food. There are tons of picnic tables at the food pavillion, so you wouldn't have to carry the food back to the cabana. But I figured, for the price, I'm sitting in that sucker every second I can. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouche Posted February 24, 2009 #46 Share Posted February 24, 2009 This has been such a wonderful review, my mouth was watering as I looked at your food pics, I can't wait I sail the Destiny in 17 days WOO HOO!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
