davy jones Posted May 15 #1 Share Posted May 15 We love HMC, but have only been there on HAL. What are the differences between HAL stops and Carnival stops? How is the lunch served on the island? Is it better to eat on the island or relax and have a late lunch upon return to the ship> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDragonfly Posted May 15 #2 Share Posted May 15 I've been to HMC with HAL and Carnival and didn't notice any differences. Where to eat lunch depends on how much beach time you want, and whether you prefer the picnic atmosphere on the island or the calmer and more diverse options on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Iowa Posted May 15 #3 Share Posted May 15 If you eat from the buffet under the giant palapa, then take your lunch to another covered area to eat, you will likely see chickens walking around. Kids love that. For those of us not from Miami/places that regularly see roaming chickens, it is entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be one of the rare times that the Lido lunch is the calmer option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvercrikhix Posted May 17 #9 Share Posted May 17 I was told by a fellow cruiser that the BBQ with HAL has better food. If you book a cabana/Villa with HAL you can add on a for fee butler for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
