Review summary
We had a great time!! Half Moon Cay was beautiful and the food there (provided by Carnival) was delicious and lots of it!! We reanted a clam shell to get som shade. We wouldn't have needed to. There are trees to get under if you don't want the sun. Our side trip at Nassau was perfect. We bought the package from CruiseOnly t the British Colonial Hilton. We were on a private beach with a beautiful pool as well as the ocean. Our package included $40 eah for food at lunch time. The food at the hotel was delicious!! Our server was Dianne, she took very good care of us. We are not drinkers so the $40 was plenty for a good meal, vigin frozen drinks and even soft drinks later in the afternoon. We walked to the hotel, about 2 blocks away, were able to leave our towel and beach bag there while we walked and shopped the town. I would reccommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy the island and not spend so much.
The Ship was not as large as some I have been on but it was still clean and decorated beautifully, the staff were caring and very efficient. Only had 1 waiter that was too busy for us, but he was serving many that night. The food was excellent and liked trying new things. The swordfish was yummy!!
I only regret not having all my siblings and spouses with us! Thank you Jennifer from CruiseOnly!
