Creator's Key Takeaways

Half Moon Key is a private island in the Bahamas and is used primarily by Carnival and Holland America line and it's one of my favorite all-time private islands and cruise ports.

It's a tender port. I don't love this because it can be tedious and take time. up to 20 to 30 minutes each way to take the water shuttle from the cruise ship to the pier and back, but it's still worth it.

Drink packages don't work here. Coffee, tea, and lemonade, they're available, but if you want something else, you'll have to pay.

There's no Wi-Fi. Even if you bought the Wi-Fi package, there just isn't Wi-Fi at Half Moon Key at all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check if Half Moon Cay is on your itinerary and note it's spelled 'Cay' not 'Key'.
Plan for tendering, which can take 20-30 minutes each way.
Bring cash or a payment method for drinks, as drink packages don't work.
Prepare to be offline, as there is no Wi-Fi on the island.
