TravelGal22 Posted June 14, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't know much about this island at all. All we want to do is lay on a nice beach with some shade and have food and drinks available. Is there a cost to go to a beach like that? Is the beach right by the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted June 14, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2013 A little reading on the many huge threads on HMC located here would reveal that if you just want to go lay on the beach, and eat at the buffet ashore, it won't cost a single cent extra. Like any where else associated with HAL or Carnival, soft drinks, alcohol, etc., come with a cost. There is plenty of beach available about 100 yards or so from where the tender drops you ashore.

Typhoon1 Posted June 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2013 HMC is an extension of the ship. Any drink costs will be the same as on board the ship. Purchases are charged to your ship board account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tender boats drop you about 2 minutes walk from being on the beach. Tons of free lounge chairs, shade, and a few shops. CCL takes food off and cooks it at the thatch roof kitchen---it's all free. You do have to pay for alcohol and soda, with your sail and sign card. Guessing Celebrity does similar with the barbeque/cookout. This is a beautiful place, you will enjoy it!

cb at sea Posted June 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2013 This IS a beach day! That's the whole purpose of this stop! No worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted June 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2013 45 acres of beach, find yourself a place in the sun or shade. Relax with a cool drink and have a good time. There are plenty of bars and waiters to make sure you always have a cool drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
