Creator's Key Takeaways

we've some people have mentioned something about music in the Cabanas being too loud and we've never experienced it but we are experiencing right now

the best snorkeling is usually just past that Cabana along that little bit of a rock Ball but they've decided to block it off so you can't get there

we are here it's eight o'clock now by 12 30 we'd be back on the ship so we don't have a lot of time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your ticket for midship speaker locations if hallway speakers are loud
Bring floaties for snorkeling as the platform is removed

However, we find a few changes to Half Moon Cay that differ from just one year ago. Ever wondered what day-to-day life is like on a cruise ship? Find out by following our VLOG series on the Nieuw Amsterdam. We will have a vlog for every single day of the cruise and show you sea days, a private island, Curacao and Aruba! Come along!
