We were there with HAL last month and absolutely loved it! If you walk down the beach past all the chairs and cabanas, there is a little patch of trees with some stacked chairs and a hammock. Several people pulled out the chairs and spread out across the beach. I landed in that hammock and didn't move all day long. It was amazing!
If you go to the other side near the entrance where the kids ship is, you can snorkel there and find stingrays and sharks a lot of people snorkel that’s side
Blow up pool noodles - how cool!!! Can't wait to watch the rest of your series. We're booked on Carnival over the summer to the ABC islands and excited to see what you all did there! Great video coverage as usual! :)
They have to close it down earlier because they have to clean up all of the areas and take it back on board. Think of that area and the amount of people. It means ALL of the area. 2- 3 hours is about right. First off First back.
We were there last year on the carnival magic. We loved it! Those clam shell umbrellas were great to use. Highly recommend. The water was great too!. Alisa (sorry if spelled your name wrong), loving your hair!!
I took your advice and went to paradise beach with my bestie and we were very well taken care of in Cozumel. The pool was slightly heated and was perfect and the service from our waiters was fantastic. Your recommendation was spot on! Tyvm
Loved Half Moon Cay; the water color is so beautiful. I'm so glad you got the hot tub to yourself. Room service and a movie sounds good after a full day outside. Enjoy!👍😀
I’ve got cruise brain right now lol! And y’all talking about all of the songs we listened to in high school… aaaah, the good old days! We’re going on our first Royal Caribbean cruise next year and I can’t wait! We will be on Harmony of the Seas going out of Galveston, so that will be different as we’ve only cruised out of NOLA. Hopefully one day we will get to cruise with y’all soon!
Love Half Moon Cay and your videos. We had a tip from people on our ship to go to the beach early and take a box or two of cheerios. There are clear fish that swim there. They will swarm around you for the cheerios. They were all sizes and beautiful. We also saw a few sting rays that day too. We were one of the first groups to go on the tender and we had the beach to ourselves for an hour or so (in June!). Half Moon Cay is by far my favorite island so far. Great Stirrup Cay was wonderful too especially since our drink package with Norwegian was included.
Hey guys! Love the sand at Half Moon. Sorry about the food 😢. BTW, Kokomo Indiana. Prob not too tropical…but it does exist! Grew up singing that song too! Missed you guys in NOLA…we were on the Valor and left the day before the vlogger cruise did. I’ll keep an eye out on your site for another vlogger meet-up! Cheers🎉
Laura loves the hat you were wearing at the beach in today's video. Where did you get it? She also said that your hair looks great, better all the time.
There is a Kokomo Beach in Curacao...ParoDeeJay recently showed it in one of their videos. I love watching you guys & Alicia your hair looks beautiful!
The water in the Bahamas is so pretty!! I have my non cruising kid, I wonder how she is kin to me!, anyway I tell her and her hubby they have to see the water in the Bahamas sometime. Oh yea from the fine folks in Indiana.. Kokomo is a small town north of Indianapolis! I have never cruised there though! Thank you for the glorious sunset at sea!! We are doing a very similar itinerary on a R.C. in a few weeks and I can not wait for sunsets at SEA! Bon Voyage y'all!
You guys would enjoy an ATV tour in Aruba if it's not too late. We rented one on our own and explored the windward side of the island and ended up at Baby Beach and drove back along the cost. They also have follow the leader style with two in each vehicle.
Hello neighbors from Texas! Y’all are awesome! Just subscribed, but have been watching since your Carnival Freedom ship tour. I know, I am a bad viewer.😂 Better late than never!
We were at Half moon cay just a couple of weeks before you. You missed out. We had the best snorkeling of our whole trip at Half moon cay. You need to go all the way down to in front of the kids playground, that is where the snorkel area is. Two sea turtles swam past me just 3 feet away, and I saw them several more times. There were two juvenile barracudas that were trying to hunt the tropical fish but us snorkelers made that pretty difficult for them. We saw some really beautiful fish including a french angelfish. You also missed out by not eating on the island. The black beans and rice were perfectly spiced, best black beans and rice I've ever had. The key lime cup cake was great. It only took us 15 minutes to eat because there was no line at all.
Was there last November and have been several times before. The buffet on the island is just ok but the island is beautiful. It's more chill than Coco Cay but that goes with the entire HAL vibe. Gorgeous beach, some of the clearest water I have ever seen. Well worth getting off the ship despite having to tender.
LOVE HMC! Been there countless times and have never seen anyone bring umbrellas from the ship! There must have not been any clever ppl on our cruises 😏
I am enjoying watching all of your adventures! But I am curious when you will be going on your next Disney Cruise? There are so many Disney ships that are being activated with the Wish and soon to be Treasure!
Come on guys....the island food service has always been like that. They have to take their stuff back to the ship 🙄. Definitely a good buffet aboard. Hope you enjoy the passing between Cuba and Haiti. There are areas where the sea is shallow (20 feet or so). Loving your vlog so far 😊
You both look amazing! I love how Alisa’s hair has grown out. She looks cute with all hair lengths. Has Alisa gotten her hair cut since she shaved it off?
How cold is the water in the Bahamas when you are there I'm watching the video and it's March 19th 2023 very curious about the water temperature I was in the Western Caribbean in February in the water was very warm
It looks beautiful there. Question, where do you guys keep all of your belongings when you go in the water? Are there lockers? We’ve only been on one cruise so far. None of the port stops were really centered around beaches.
I too booked a casino offer and I've done a few in the past. I know they don't include a free drinks package, but every time I go to the onboard casino, I speak to the casino manager and let them know I'm here on a casino comp and they put a sticker on my card that gives me free drinks while gambling. Does HAL do the same? So far MSC and Princess have done so.

Hi! Is it true HAL raised the price on the cabanas to $700 for the day?
If you go to the other side near the entrance where the kids ship is, you can snorkel there and find stingrays and sharks a lot of people snorkel that’s side
We will have to remember that for next time.
We saw two sea turtles and a couple of juvenile barracuda. Great snorkeling!
Half Moon Cay is by far our favorite beach/private island. Those clam shells were the best!
Love love love Half Moon Cay
Totally agree that 90s music is the best!
Been to HMC 3 times and cannot get enough of that mesmerizing beach. Not many beaches can compare.
The water brings back Cayman Islands vibes...I wanna go back AND go to Half Moon Cay.
Half moon cay love it love it, we go about two times a year and love it ever time
That being back memories. Had so much fun. That was our first very cruise and we got to go on a glass, bottom boat. That was so much fun.
Gosh I'm so jealous...enjoy looking fantastic..
This is really great your able to enjoy these cruises & promote 1st hand just how nice these are, with the amenities they have available.
I love it there the sand is so soft.
This island is beautiful. I have been there 2 and I can’t wait to go again

We figured after the fact but we weren’t thinking at the time that it would close so early.

I just across your you tube channel. Love your energy. Your husband is a great singer, I sing along with his songs reminds me of my younger days.

We were there on 3/14 on Carnival Sunrise. It was paradise.
Such great video work!!! So beautiful , thanks❤
Sandals Cay (formerly called Kokomo Island) is part of the privately owned Sandals Royal Caribbean all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
We're going on our first cruise in November and HMC is our last stop, Im so excited!
Yay! Hot tub isn't overrun with kids! Love your helpful vlogs!

How gorgeous - that water is like Tiffany blue!!! Alisa - your hair is adorable, too! :)
We're going here for the first time with the Carnival Dream next week. Can't wait it looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Love Half Moon Cay. Can't wait to go back, in November! Nieuw Amsterdam.
there is a Kokomo Beach in Curacao, Southeast of Aruba

That’s awesome!! And I agree that I like how the drink package extends on GSC!
We binged Clarksons farm!! Love it - next time we are that way we are going to pay the farm shop a visit!
That would be awesome
Ummm Kokomo is a beach on Curaçao. Jay and Dee went last month and they have a vlog out on it 😊
Well, when the song was written it was more of a state of mind. The song says ‘off the Florida Keys’ so they were not talking about Curaçao.
Hey guys! Love the sand at Half Moon. Sorry about the food 😢. BTW, Kokomo Indiana. Prob not too tropical…but it does exist! Grew up singing that song too!

Kokomo, Indiana! Been there.
Another awesome video

LOVE your videos. The ABC islands are my favorite. After 30+ cruises we eat many dinners in the buffet. We like to eat at our pace. 😎

From South Bend originally, now live in northern South Carolina. Know all about Kokomo. It is 84 degrees here today.

You can visit Kokomo, Indiana. Although, It's nothing the Beach Boys would sing about.

I love that beach. It is so beautiful. I went there in March '19 and we were able to snorkel and see fish the day we went.
I love your show keep it up!!! And thanks!!
Clarkson Farm is hillarious. I discovered it last year and it's finally starting to get popular
Great vlog! Love Halfmoon Cay.
Half Moon Cay is my favorite island to date.
And the playlist I have to put together now 😂music I grew up listening to as well
OMG we LOVE Clarkson's Farm....hysterical! HAL is our favorite cruise line.
Isn’t that a great show???
About to start watching it!
We binged watched season 2.
@@EECCTravels Now I'm trying to figure out *which* of Clarkson's "can't say that on youtube" sayings Jason has picked up?
@@pileofstuff haha! F****** h*** 😂
Was there last week loved it
Thanks for the video! We have been there 5 times and the water is always cold.
It was just right for us!! Probably 78-85 degrees
Love it! 🛳☀️🌴🌊
There’s a Kokomo beach on curaçao
That burger looks delicious
There's a town in Indiana called Kokomo
Looks amazing
❤this is one of the best things in life is going on trips. Enjoy Life 😊
Let us know when you come to Warwick,Rhode Island, whe will say hi 👋
Si Señor!!!
We love Clarkson’s farm!
We’ll take you to Kokomo when you visit Indy 😉 I tried hard to control my RBF 😂😂
Half Moon is beautiful
Beautiful video, great trip! Thank you very much for sharing!
I love Aruba. My favourite island.
Is Jason tipsy in the hot tub? He was hilarious and reminds me of myself when I’m in my “happy” zone. Keep
Making great videos, I love them!!
LOVE HMC! Been there countless times and have never seen anyone bring umbrellas from the ship! There must have not been any clever ppl on our cruises 😏
Kokomo is a real place. It’s in Indiana. I’ve been there. My sister used to live in Kokomo!😁💖
I was going to say the same thing. But it’s no where near the Caribbean…. lol
I am enjoying watching all of your adventures! But I am curious when you will be going on your next Disney Cruise? There are so many Disney ships that are being activated with the Wish and soon to be Treasure!
Well guess what?? Lol
@@EECCTravels 😳😱🤩!!!

Prop the back up for better airflow and cooling
You both look amazing! I love how Alisa’s hair has grown out. She looks cute with all hair lengths. Has Alisa gotten her hair cut since she shaved it off?
Awe thank you! No hair cut yet, my hair is coming back very healthy.
How cold is the water in the Bahamas when you are there I'm watching the video and it's March 19th 2023 very curious about the water temperature I was in the Western Caribbean in February in the water was very warm
It was cool when you first get in but then very nice.
And we park same place you were next to the ship bar
It looks beautiful there. Question, where do you guys keep all of your belongings when you go in the water? Are there lockers? We’ve only been on one cruise so far. None of the port stops were really centered around beaches.
There are lockers but they charge for them.
Also what room categories would that upgrade have n how much per person??
Looked like fun. I would love to go there
EFFY is a great brand . Lucky you 😮 ❤
There is a beach called Kokomo in Curaçao.
One day we will go there!
It is a great snorkeling beach. When you go there definitely sing the Kokomo Song.
The short answer is... Y E S ! We've known to book a cruise or two just because it goes to Half Moon Cay!
Hi guys, can you put a link for the inflatable pool noodles. Thanks ! Going on my first HAL cruise in Jan.
What month were you there? I thought that the water temp there is in the upper 70's low 80's.
My first cruise ever took me to half moon cay, and I loved it. I absolutely enjoyed every minute being there.
I was at Half Moon Cay this past January and it feels weird seeing the same place on video now.
I was there in January on the carnival sunrise. What about you
@@nisbenyricardo533 I was on the Carnival Magic.
@@ZeroxRaizen that was my first ever cruise ship
We were there on Friday!! So, yes, kinda weird to see the video today!!
Have all the cruise lines stopped allowing you to bring soda on board ? Does NCL allow it.
No, NCL does not.
This is the first time I have seen it…
@@EECCTravels it’s been that way for years on NCL.
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Loved Half Moon Cay! They just need to build a pier somehow.
I agree! A pier would be great!!

Kokomo is a city in Indiana
What do you do with your belongings when you are both in the water?
Leave them on the beach. Feel the vibe of the people around you. With this crowd you e felt safe leaving everything there.
P.S. There's a Kokomo Beach in Curacao.
Love your hat, where did you get it ?
Where did you find the blow up noodles? We are going on cruise in 5 weeks and I have been looking for those. 😊
On Amazon, they are great as they take up so little space!!
