Cruise Day Seven-Our last day of the Cruise (part one)

Our last full day of the cruise was a blast. Our port of call was Half Moon Cay, a tiny private island, owned by Holland America's parent company. After consulting with Danielle, the travel guide on the ship, and one of the coolest people we met on board, we decided to take one last shore excursion to do, what else? SNORKEL! We signed up for the first trip of the day which meant we had to be on the island and ready at 8:20am. No problem! We got on the first tender off the ship, and before we knew it, we were on Half Moon Cay - a tiny slice of paradise in the middle of the most beautiful water we'd ever seen!







We were very lucky that there were only 5 other people on our snorkel tour with us. It was like we had the whole place to ourselves!



Once we were in the water, we saw some of the most brilliant coral formations that we'd ever seen. It was simply spectacular!












Along with a number of incredible fish, we also saw another barracuda and an eel! (I was only able to get one picture of the eel and it came our blurry, but I did get some cool video of it too.)



It was just a great way to spend the morning.





After snorkeling, it was time explore the island a bit and to let Norm out of the bag (literally) so he could have some fun too...see part two...
