Cruise 2012 Page 4 of 6 Welcome to the Carnival Fantasy! Day 5: Half Moon Cay (a.k.a. Little San Salvador Island) We buzzed through a Lido breakfast and prepared to undertake the tendering process to get ashore, as there is no cruise pier here. We ended up in tender group #5, which was the second ship to go across to the island. Half Moon Cay was owned by Holland America, then acquired by Carnival. The sign kinda says it all, really. The cruise center at Half Moon Cay, which I'm told is said like "key". Here I've been saying "kay" for months now. That's a lot of conch, yo. Our ship, way way away. Man, look at that water! This beach was so soft and sandy, and perfect for swimming. Favorite. Beach. Ever. The signs above the doors said "Buoys" and "Gulls". Wow. You had me at "titi". Yes, I will. The skies looked ominous for half a second and we did get some rain, but the storms seem to blow through pretty quickly around here. A church with a view of the ocean. Nice. Diane poses by the conch fountain. I pose by a bright wall and a sculpture of lots of fish. On the tender vessel, headed back to the ship. I'm pretty sure there's an Alton Brown copyright violation in this photo somewhere... :) Diversity in the cabin. You can choose either the surprised face on the right, or the angry sumo face on the left if you prefer a nasty surprise. This be my McKayla Maroney "not impressed" face, after coming two calls short of winning a free cruise. Our lounge table... drowning our bingo-losing sorrows in fruity drinks. :) The artwork outside our cabin featured a flock of three giraffes playing hide-and-seek with the Loch Ness Monster. Awesome! Seriously? Can our towel demon goose/snake thing get any further away from where he's supposed to live? * Continue the Cruise Adventure... * Return to the Photos page!
