Half Moon Cay

Our first day is Holland’s private island, Half Moon Cay. Half Moon Cay uses their own tenders to transport guests to the island, they are much nicer than the cruise ship tenders that they will use in Grand Cayman. We grab breakfast from the buffet and find a table outside at the back of the ship. After breakfast we decide to walk some laps on the promanade while we wait for the weather to clear, it started to rain hard but we can tell it will clear soon. Love the wrap around promanade on the Holland ships :)

Rain stops sun comes out so we gather our stuff and head to the gangway, we have a very short wait to get on a tender. The wedding party is on this tender, we keep seeing them all over the ship, they are all having so much fun together! One of the younger couples have displayed their great Tina Turner dance moves at the B.B. Blues Club :) they are a mix of ages and they definitely have lots of fun together! We have seen several large family groups of all ages on this cruise. We like to try and figure out what they are celebrating all together? 50th anniversary? 

We have a beautiful day here walking the beach, swimming, sunning and meeting and visiting with some fun fellow passengers. 

After about 5 hours we have had enough sun and take a tender back. I head to gym to ride a bike for 30 minutes since I can’t run with my bad knee :(

After a shower we head to a happy hour and enjoy visiting with a couple at the bar. We have been meeting  some nice people. Happy hour is done in 2 bars from 4-5 buy one drink get second one for 2 dollars, we split one, so we each have 1 martini, great deals :)

We go to dinner early about 5:30 and get right in, dinners so far have been okay nothing super special yet. I will say they do a great job with the salads, soup and breads though. 

After dinner we go to a trivia and Gary seated at the bar helps us, he was a good help! We do fair thanks to Gary’s help.  Then we go to hear the comedian, David Crowe, he is from Seattle and even makes some Seattle jokes, he definitely had us laughing! After the show we are tired  and call it a day, it has been a perfect cruise day :)
