Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Port Reviews

a lot of trash lying around from passengers, very small and too many people when getting back on the ship. Swimming in the ocean was clean, thankfully, even though I still got sick from it.

Pretty little island with clear water. The Glass Bottom boat allows you to see the island from the water-side but the glass is not clear enough to see through. They do feed the fish from both outside walkways and that was fabulous. I have two great videos of beautiful fish from the walkway but nothing from the glass bottom. Still worth the money.

Most beautiful beach in the world. Crystal clear water. They feed you a BBQ lunch on the island.

Nice beach, but we're from Florida and have nice beaches at home, would have enjoyed Freeport better, provided lunch, a barbecue, got our hopes up for beef or pork barbecue but it was more hamburgers (which were good but had them too often)

No excursion here, the beach was amazing. The water was so clear and beautiful. The sand was soft and didn't get hot. We rented tubes and swam all day. I didn't want to leave!

I was anticipating HMC being one of the highlights of our trip and it did not disappoint. My family spluged and rented the private oasis cabana. When I say it was worth every penny, that's an understatement. Every one in our party, from age 9 to 73, was catered to and had a grand time. We had everything from snokeling equipment to a private hot tub to our own dedicated staff, everything was top notch. Not to mention the catered food and drinks from our personal bartender. I don't know if I'll ever be able to enjoy this beautiful island any other way! Truly spectacular.

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.

Tip: when you get off the tinder boat go straight to find your beach chair all the way down to the right in front of the make shift pirate boat. It has a bar and bathrooms and a little less crowded music playing and the float rentals then do your shopping on your way back to the ship. Free Buffett lunch is served around the picnic area and it gets busy but goes though quick also pretty good food!

Good if you want to sit and drink on beach all day. My least favorite port. Had booked a snorkeling trip but got cancelled because of weather. We enjoy visiting islands to learn about the culture and this is a private island owned by Carnival.
