Christmas Caribbean Cruise 2000
Day 1: Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

A view of Half Moon Cay from the ship. The weather started out overcast and segued to rain. All excursions were canceled, but you could still take the tender ashore to go swimming.

Several of the ship's lifeboats serve as launches, this one departing for Half Moon Cay during one of the brief periods of near-sunshine that day.

Lauri getting ready to board the launch to return to the ship after spending an afternoon on the beach.

A view from the beach at Half Moon Cay--an endless arc of white sand and clear water. Too bad it was raining.
