Today we arrive at Half Moon Cay and were able to take a tender shortly after 9am. The tender was off of the ship as usual but came from ashore. It was a double-decker tender that held may people. The water was calm and there was no issue getting ashore. The island is private and is owned by Carnival Cruise Line. Our room key worked at the shops and restaurant just as on the ship. We took a walk down the beach to the end of the crescent shaped island. Not much to see other than sand and the ocean. On the way back we stopped at Captain Morgan’s for a drink. I had a Bahama Mama and Terri a Passion Painkiller. I’m guessing that when the Cruise Industry gets back to normal, this island will be a popular stop. Nice beach and well maintained grounds.
Room for lots of people. We swam in the ocean for a few minutes after our drinks and then went to the island barbecue. Great food but some light rain in the air. We decided to eat and head back to the ship. The ride to the ship was less than 20 minutes in calm water.
We decided a while back to book another world cruise. This one leaves January of 2024 and is 128 days long. The route and stops are quite a bit different then These fill up fast and we had put a hold on it but then discovered a significant savings when you book a cruise on the ship. We went down to the future cruise deck and booked this cruise. We have a Verandah room on the back of the ship. We also decided to book a cruise this summer. This one goes from Boston to Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Stops in Greenland and Iceland sound exciting.
We sat out near the Lido pool until dinner. Beautiful day.
Dinner in the Lido today and then to the BB King Blues Club for a performance by comedian Cisco Duran. Cisco is black and fat. Both of these became part of his routine. Great act! I give him a 9.
The Step One Dance Company was on the main stage and we caught their show right after. Very polished. Very entertaining and well done.
We finished the evening with a few card games. Phase 10 was something Tim brought on the cruise. Similar to rummy but more challenging. Kelley was the winner. We finished with a hand of euchre and we were again beaten by the Daley’s.
Tomorrow is a day at sea and we set the clocks forward an hour.…
