Half Moon Cay is Carnival's own private island in the Bahamas. When we booked our cruise I didn't really expect much from this island because they don't offer many excursions; I looked at it as more or less just a beach day. So you can imagine my surprise when we pulled into this breathtaking, picture perfect setting! The water was the most beautiful turquoise-blue color and the white sand was powder-soft.
Since the island is owned by the cruise line, the amenities were really nice. They had a large open kitchen where they served a delicious BBQ lunch for everyone. They had lifeguards on duty all along the beach, and I found out an interesting fact about the workers there; they all live on a nearby island and catch a ferry over whenever a cruise ship comes to port; otherwise, the place is deserted.
Playing on the beach was paradise. Spencer rented a couple of tubes for the kids to float around on and bought a paddle ball set. I made friends with the six women sitting next to us. They were all friends traveling together. When I told them our story about not having any luggage, and how badly I missed my flat iron, they told me that they would gladly bring me one to use for the rest of our trip. I absolutely took them up on their offer and was able to finally style my hair again! :-)
This place was perfect! And the sign leaving the island said it all:
