Bonaire doesn’t always make it onto Caribbean cruise itineraries, which is honestly a shame—because it’s one of my all-time favorite snorkeling spots.
💦 The water is crystal clear, the reef is vibrant, and the marine life is incredible. If you’re even thinking about visiting Klein Bonaire, do it.
Just pack water, snacks, and reef-safe sunscreen—there are zero facilities on the island, and that’s part of the charm. 🏝️
FREE port guide is in the comments, along wirh a link to my FAVORITE thing to do here… a private boat charter (and shocker- it’s cheaper than most excursions! 😮 )
Have you ever been to an uninhabited island on a cruise?

Half Moon Cay is one of those cruise stops that just feels easy. You tender in (okay, I don't like that part, but a pier is coming soon!), find your beach chair, and soak in that perfect white sand and turquoise water. No taxis. No vendors chasing you down. Just pure beach day bliss.
But here’s the trick... walk a little further down the beach to avoid the crowds that gather right by the entrance. I have a FREE port guide with all my HMC insider tips, including the one small spend to make here that gets you priority tendering, and maximizes your beach time.
Do you love a beach day, or are you more of a “find an excursion” kind of cruiser?

Who else has an absolutely compulsive need to unpack immediately upon returning home from a trip? I don’t care how tired I am, how late I get home, or in this case how early (via the red eye from SEA to CVG), I ALWAYS have to immediately unpack.

I also have a compelling need to watch the “Poop Cruise” documentary that just dropped on Netflix. Please tell me it’s good, because I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks!
