Locker rentals at HMC?

woodacy — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:06:12 GMT

Does anyone know if there are lockers to rent on HMC? I would like to bring my camera, but don't really want to leave it on the beach.

Thanks for any guidance you can give.

Renting Snorkel/Flippers

brc23 — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:57:39 GMT

In the Eastern Carb. (HMC is one stop) can you rent JUST flippers? If so any idea how much?

OR can you only rent the snorkel flipper set?

THANKS!

Half Moon Cay clamshells & snorkel?

kevinandjane — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:06:04 GMT

How much are the c;amshell umbrellas to rent at Half Moon Cay? Do they charge by the day or hour? Can you rent one from the ship or only once you get on the island?

If you rent snorkel equipment there............. do you just swim out from the beach? Is the snorkeling as good as one of the excursions where they take you out on a small boat to snorkel?

What happens if it rains on the day on embarkation and or at the destination?

sstan457 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:08:51 GMT

What happens if it rains the day the cruise leaves and or storms? Will they cancel the cruise on us and does anyone have access to a 15 day weather forecast for grand turk because I see it's supposed to rain for 8-9 days straight there!!

What can be done for free at HMC?

Jake C — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:16:43 GMT

Does anyone have any idea if there are activities in HMC that are not excursions? I wouldnt mind just lounging there but it would be nice to know what inexpensive or free things there are to do.

Even Bigger Cabana $$$$

Karen — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:16:11 GMT

Has anyone experienced the BIG cabana? Carnival's info shows MANY dollar signs and also says it accommodates up to 10 people and has a chef, butler and cabana attendant! It says it is 1600 square feet large and the chef will bbq for you and even mix your drinks!

What is the actual price and is it worth the money? I would like to know a real person's opinion BEFORE I fall in love with it!

Private Oasis

PaulaM — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:12:29 GMT

Christmas in Half Moon Cay

jen90 — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:04:51 GMT

We are leaving on the Fascination on 12/26... can't wait for the stop at Half Moon Cay!! Just wondering if any of you have been there that time of year? I am really hoping for nice sunny warm weather!! And what are the water temps like? Bearable? I've researched what the temps are "suppose" to be like, but would just like to hear from someone who has actually been there in late December. Thanks!!

Tipping for Horseback Excursion

Who should I tip, and how much do you suggest? Thank you!

Is it worth trying to snorkel from the beach here?

Want to Share a Cabana on HMC. Fascination 7/25/09

John77 — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:14:31 GMT

My girlfriend and I will be on this cruise and were wondering if anyone wanted to split a Cabana rental on Half Moon Cay. It is too expensive for just us, but with another couple, it would be doable. I think it is 225-250 for the day, which would be 55-65 per person roughly. I am 32 and she is 34. We are both pretty quiet and just want somewhere to hang out while in HMC.
Let me know, John

Horseback riding???

cruzinmamma — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:57:38 GMT

Need some feedback on this excursion. I would love to just sit on the beach, but my husband would like to do something in the morning and then the beach for the afternoon. Has anyone done the horseback excursion - i've seen the video - it looks fun. Thanks

Stingrays at HMC

michy — Sun, 03 May 2009 14:54:29 GMT

Any one ever do the stingray excursion in HMC? Just wondering if we will see other tropical fish there AND how good of a swimmer does my 6 year old have to be? (from what I remember the safety vest will pretty much hold him up)

Thanks!

Curious...

kdcole — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:49:25 GMT

The drinking age in the Bahamas is 18, but Carnival owns HMC, so the drinking age there is 21? I'm curious

Stingrays or ???????????

michy — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:49:16 GMT

We are sailing to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Freeport in May. I am taking my 2 sons -age 9 and 6. I really want them to experience the stingrays and so do they! However 9 yo wants to do Dune Buggy in Grand Turk, so Stingray excursion is out there, anyway. How is the stingray excursion in HMC? Better than Grand Turk? There seems like nothing to do in Freeport, for my kids ages, snorkeling wise, so trying to make something of every port....... anyone done the double decker glass bottom boat in freeport- seems like the people on the top deck wouldnt be able to see the fish!?

Thanks in advance !
