Cruising with Lynnie

Half Moon Cay is owned by Carnival Cruise Line and is also known as Little San Salvador Island. It is a private island in the Bahamas and serves as a port of call for Carnival and Holland America Line cruise ships. It's known for its long, crescent-shaped Half Moon Beach.

Spend the day lounging on the soft white sand, swimming in the calm turquoise waters, or simply soaking up the sun. Consider renting a cabana for a more luxurious and private beach experience, including access to amenities like private fridges, towels, and snacks. Free BBQ lunch is provided just steps from the beach.

Explore the vibrant marine life and coral reefs with snorkeling gear you can rent or bring your own. Tour the island by bike or tram, or enjoy excursions like horseback riding, kayaking, or a stingray encounter. Join in on games and activities put on by the Fun Squad. Participate in beach volleyball or basketball, or wander the island on foot.

Enjoy music and drinks at the Pirate Ship Bar or visit the chapel for a moment of peace and quiet.

"RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay is a great port of call for a relaxing, free beach day. We bring our hammock floats and just spend the day in the beautiful turquoise water. Make sure you know the lunch times for the BBQ buffet by the beach because it's not all day and it's easy to miss. You can not use your drink package on the island but you can use your Sign & Sail card to purchase drinks. *TIP: If you have a drink package, grab a few canned beverages from the ship and throw them in your beach bag." -Lynnie McG.
