We took a sightseeing excursion, that left us off at a different spot forcing us to wlak through the port mall to get back to the ship.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5

We booked a clamshell, but by the time we got on the island we had a long walk to find the attendant. We met someone on ship who offered to share their cabana so we decided not to go all the way down the beach. My snorkeling excursion was cancelled.
