Half Moon Cay, one of the most popular cruise line private islands in the Bahamas, will reopen this week when a Carnival cruise ship visits the island.
The first Carnival Cruise Line ship since Hurricane Dorian passed through the Bahamas will visit Half Moon Cay on Wednesday, September 11, 2019. While the island is owned by Holland America Line, it is also used by sister cruise line Carnival.
