Great shopping experiences. Shop the straw market for souvenirs.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

Enjoy one the best beaches here. Sand is soft. Beach is clear of rocks and seaweed. Keep in mind that drink cards from the ship do not work here.

We chose early disembarkation. Walked off with our luggage, took 10 minutes.
