djallar Posted October 31, 2006 #126 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I hope if anyone finds buried treasure, they will report it here along with a description of whatever they left, if anything. I think we could keep this going for some time, if everyone will play along. We found the treasure!!! Just where you left it. Thanks jes2245, we're going to enjoy the rum! Ziggy...we left our treasure right where jes2245 left theirs...buried by the left-rear support (as seen from the ocean). Good luck! :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmbgmb Posted November 1, 2006 #128 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I definitely will enjoy it. Someone please explain the "buried treasure" game. I gather someone before my March cruise leaves something buried - I have to find it and leave something else??? :confused: In any case, it sounds like fun so count us in! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lggfly Posted December 1, 2006 #135 Share Posted December 1, 2006 So, where is everyone? Is this Board "on vacation?" Anyway, we are off on the Volendam on Sunday and we have our "treasure" ready to be buried! Hope it get's found. Lon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djallar Posted December 1, 2006 #136 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Bon Voyage, Lon! Hope the "treasure" we originally left for Ziggy7 is still there :eek: I haven't read about anyone finding what we left behind. Just remember...buried by the left-rear (as seen from the beach) post. ;) Good luck! Let us know if you find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy Posted December 1, 2006 #137 Share Posted December 1, 2006 At least for our March trip. I will remember to leave a little surprise for the next guests. Never owned a cabana; I hope it will be well worth the $. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lon Hey Lon, We're there right after you, so should we make it to HMC (*fingers crossed for both of us*), we will be there to unearth the "treasure" and leave ours behind for Frogs & LAMb.

ned70 Posted December 2, 2006 #141 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Just curious. What other cruise line uses Half Moon Cay? Is this true for all the "private islands". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie321 Posted December 2, 2006 #142 Share Posted December 2, 2006 This sounds like a GREAT idea! We are in the taupe cabana and we would like to get this started there also! Thanks for the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogs Posted December 8, 2006 #143 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Our visit is just around the corner! Two weeks from today!!!! Right now I am in Brazil and my mom and her husband are in Ukraine. I live in Ohio and they live in Ontario, Canada (close to Barrie). Our treasure should include something from our current travels and something from our home regions - could be interesting! ;) We can't wait for the sun and relaxation that is coming our way - especially after all of this travel! Blessings to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahQ Posted December 8, 2006 Author #144 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Frogs - we are leaving in a few hours for Fort Lauderdale and your treasure is safely packed away already :) Hope we are able to make it so we can leave it for you to dig up ;) Smooth sailing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lggfly Posted December 14, 2006 #145 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Just back from Half Moon Cay. I guess I'm a bit "thick" but I was under the impression there were four support posts and I was to dig just inside the rear post on the left (as you are facing the cabana). Well, there are a lot more than 4 support posts. In fact, there are four across the front and at least 3 going from front to back (on each side). The rear support, really doesn't look like a support as it looks like its on a slab (as you dig, however, there really is a support there). And you can't get to the inside of the rear support (we will add pictures so everyone sees what we mean). I dug everywhere I could imagine, and found nothing. However, we did bury our "treasure" just behind the left rear corner of the cabana. I hope whoever finds it, enjoys it. Its a little "taste" of our favorite past-time.

Ned, From what we were told (we befriended a former "executive" of HAL on our cruise), HAL owns this island, so no other cruise lines use it. They paid $2 Mil for it and added about another $3 Mil in improvements. It is really nice...not like the other private islands we've been to.

Lon Actually when HAL pulls their ships out of the Caribbean for the summer, Carnival stops at HMC, they rent it to their sister division, and occasionally a few other lines have had special permission to stop there but that is rare!

I wonder the same thing :confused: As far as I can tell, we were the last to leave something there. That was October 30th! Since then, 32 ships have been there. Four particpants in this thread have been there since we were and, except for Ziggy, who didn't even get a chance to go ashore, none have reported back. :( Thanks, Lon for continuing the treasure hunt!
