Half Moon Cay is a private island that Carnival and Holland America ships stop at on various Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries.  The island is only about ten miles from Nassau, Bahamas, and is the perfect oasis for a day off the ship in the surf and sun.  We at Cruise Radio have been there many times, and here’s some gorgeous photos to prove how amazing it is.
