March 2018 - 5 Night Bahamas (Jacksonville Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Elation
First Caribbean Cruise
Carnival Elation
Sail date: March 05, 2018
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
We arrived about an hour after the first ferry over but when we arrived there was absolutely no where to sit on the beach. There were not any signs (or visible/good signs) showing us where to go to access different parts of the beach. We ended up dragging two chairs out of the water's edge all the way back to the brush beside one of the bungalows. Then we went to have lunch at the BBQ. Again, no staff or signage about where to go. My friend and I got separated trying to find it and then I was to frustrated to eat. We went back to our chairs packed up and took the next ferry back to the ship. Waste of time and a big disappointment. Needed more staff on the beach. Best part of the day was getting back to the ship and enjoying the pool for ONCE while everyone was at the beach.
Home port. Appreciated the golf carts to and from the parking lot.

Never, ever, go during Spring break. Students only cared about drinking and staff was too busy catering to them to help others.
Not what I expected. Maybe the time of year was off. Expected more excitement, things happening. Mostly window shopped. The weather was too windy and cool for the beach (not Carnival's fault).
