A Little About Half Moon Cay


Half Moon Cay is an idyllic castaway island in the Bahamas with a white sandy beach lapped by calm clear beautiful blue waters. Privately owned by the Carnival Corporation, this port of call is exclusively used by cruises that include this heavenly hideaway on their itinerary.


Formerly known as Little San Salvador Island, this laid-back island covers 2400 acres (less than 4 square miles) and much of it has been left as a nature preserve with native vegetation for nesting birds and wildlife.


Currently cruisers are transported ashore in tenders, but a new deep-water dock is planned for the near future. Once ashore, expect to enjoy a beautiful day on the beach with plenty of activities for watersports, boat trips, swimming, snorkeling and relaxing in the sun.

What We Did There?



We last visited this port in August 2021. While we were there, we did some shopping, enjoyed the water & the beach, Eat the free BBQ offered, and kayaked.

  NASSAU, BAHAMAS PORT GUIDE Our Experience & Photos from when we were in Nassau. It also gives a guide for thing to do in Nassau & a little bit about Nassau. Last Updated: July 20th, 2022 Our Rating: ***** (5 Stars) A Little About Nassau A lot of people do not like the port because it is often under construction, the shops can be overly crowded sometimes, and there are people constantly pestering you to buy things, buy tours, and to buy transportation. I mean they will try to sell you everything. Finding transportation in this port is not hard at all and the taxi prizes were not bad. Nassau is one of the most visited ports in the Bahamas and the most popular cruising destination in the Caribbean itineraries. It is located in the islands of New Providence off the coast of Florida. It has a mild weather in the winter which makes it ideal for water sports and activities. What Did We Do There? We last visited Nassau in August 2021. We personally really enjoyed this port. Whil...

The building’s usually pretty easy to find, but we did stop to ask and make sure it was the right one before we went in. This one is also a two for one – if you head over to Hell, Grand Cayman, they’ll give you a novelty stamp saying you’ve been to Hell. Aruba and Curacao . Here you can hit the jackpot of Passport Stamps, You can get both of these on one sailing. In both Aruba and Curacao, we just asked where the Customs house (or office) was and then walked over. They do keep normal business hours, so you’ll have to do it du...
