Setting a southerly course we anchored at Half Moon Cay at 8:00AM, and people immediately began tendering to the island.
My wife and I not being early risers, regained consciousness at about 9:30 and quickly hurried to the Lido Deck for our customary breakfast.
Having been to HMC on previous cruises we were undecided as to visit the island or fore go the visit for the comfort of a deck chair. The deck chair won out, however about noon o’clock we decided that a visit to the island might be appropriate.
The island has been built up in recent years, it now features a volleyball/basketball court, a massage cabana, jet skis, para sailing, horseback riding, floating mats, and food.
This being our first day out , we opted for the floating mat tour, which consists of , believe it or not, lying on a mat and floating in the bay!
We could only handle this strenuous exercise for about an hour and a half, so it was back to the ship for food!
On to the spa for a soak in the hot tub and rehabilitation in the ceramic thermal chairs!
Another wonderful meal in the dining room, and Showtime featuring the Grand Tour singers and dancers,the evening was topped off with a 50s and 60s music hour featuring Helen and the Halcats in the Queen’s lounge, so ended the second day of our southern Caribbean cruise.
