ScottsSweetie Posted August 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Well, that would be NORWEGIAN'S private island, not Carnival's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seago2 Posted August 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2016 That's GSC. It sounds like they're making great improvements. I love love love GSC, have been there for times. They always seem to be going work. This is a good thing overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMastell Posted August 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It's NCL's Great Stirrup Cay. It has no impact on Carnival's Half Moon Cay. Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted August 22, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Norwegian actually sold HMC to Holland America, which of course was acquired by Carnival. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Source? I think you may be confused / may have heard wrong. NCL did not own HMC. HAL bought Little San Salvador Island (HMC) from a group of several Bahamian owners. http://www.funashore.com/history-halfmooncay/ ETA: OK, I see a mention of NCL owing it on Wiki, but as we all know, Wiki is not exactly a reliable source. I'll have to look into this deeper... E(again)T(further)A: It seems that all mentions of it being previously owned by NCL are just examples of repetition of the same blurb as on Wikipedia. I don't know how to find the truth of the matter, but I am curious. Does anybody know for certain if NCL ever owned HMC?

RHilla619 Posted August 23, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Trying not to be so rude but gosh, read the article carefully before posting something like this. The article clearly states NORWEGIAN and Stirrup Cay, nowhere does it even say the words Carnival or Half Moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been so looking forward to this cruise, I didn't want anything to mess up. If I could delete this whole thread I would. sorry again, and again, and again.

It's not like we're curing cancer here. It's a cruise message board, we love talking about cruises. It's ok! And it's interesting- I would not have known about GSC if you hadn't posted it.
