Half Moon Cay 1
 
Holland America's private Island, Half Moon Cay Bahamas, is one of the most beloved stops on any Caribbean Cruise. We stopped there twice on the East/West Cruise aboard the Westerdam! Yeah!
 

   


We arrived at HMC first, but the Zaandam arrived right after us.
 
Lovely morning sun, streaming through the clouds ... a vision of heaven.
The Zaandam ...
...pulls into position off our starboard side.
