Creator's Key Takeaways

Half Moon K definitely has some of the most beautiful waters and sand that I've seen in my life.

I am officially in love with this beach. I will have to book a summer cruise with Carnival just to come to Hmon.

It's a shame not being able to go to this water because look, it's so pretty, guys.

Carnival, go ahead and do everything that you need to do with this island because it deserve better things.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Arrive early to secure a chair on the beach.
โœ“Do not wait until the last minute to return to the ship via tender boat to avoid long lines.
โœ“Bring cash for drinks on the island, as drink packages do not work there.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Fear of shuttle boats โ€” The shuttle ride is short and easy; it's not far from the ship to the island.
Cold water in December โ€” The water is cold in winter, but the beach is beautiful; consider visiting in warmer months.
