Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival does not honor their drink plan on the island.

It's $30 a day. Uh, and the other thing, install it yourself.

We got a bag of beer. It's six Coronas. Um, it was 50 bucks for the six beers and then they charge you $20 for the bag and then they tack on your 18% gratuitity and your 10% Bahamian sales tax and $80 for six beers.

It was still fun. And it was still fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own umbrella or rent one for $30 a day, but you must install it yourself.
Your drink package from the ship does not work on the island, so plan to pay extra for drinks.
If you want to use your phone on the island, ensure you have an international plan as the ship's Wi-Fi doesn't work.

YouTube Video Description

Day 3 of our Carnival Sunrise cruise brought us to the stunning shores of Half Moon Cay, Carnival’s private island in the Bahamas. 🏝️ We toured the island, lounged on the soft white sand, and swam in the crystal-clear water—truly paradise. 💸 But along the way, we noticed some key differences between Carnival’s policies and other cruise lines, and how those choices can end up costing passengers more money. 🍽️ Back onboard, we had dinner in the MDR before heading to the much-hyped 80’s Rock Party… only to find out it was mostly 80’s pop, not much rock. Definitely a letdown. This video is part relaxation, part review, and part reality check. If you’re sailing to Half Moon Cay on Carnival, here’s what you need to know before you go! 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell to follow along with the rest of our Carnival Sunrise series!
