wldflr Posted December 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Getting ready for our cruise in January 2019 and noticed that on Half Moon Cay there is the usual Clamshell rental/2 lounge chairs for $39.95 (gee, this price has gone up in the last few years!!) and also something called a Manta Sun Shelter Rental for $11.95. Wondering what the difference is and can anyone post a pic of this Manta Sun Shelter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wldflr Posted December 10, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Thanks for the link. I had tried doing a search and didn't see anything. Definitely like using the loungers in the clamshell. Don't like the idea of sitting on the sand, especially when there are so many lounge chairs available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964IceCreamLady Posted December 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I looked into both. The clamshell is much bigger and provides shade for loungers. The Manta Sun shelter is like a pop-up tent. We are going with the Manta because we plan to explore the island and want to be as portable as possible.

My DH would never be able to fold that thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also prefer to sit on a lounge chair rather than on the sand. And using your towel to sit on defeats your being able to clean off with a sandy towel.

Fouremco Posted December 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2018 We gave up on even the clam shells a few visits ago and just walk a little bit further down the beach to where the trees provide nice shade. Usually lots of available loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
