Half Moon Cay
The resort is a private paradise, reserved for passengers who
are tendered ashore to the pier from Holland America Line's cruise
ships, and those who have paid for the pleasure will not be
disappointed. Half Moon Cay (pronounced 'Key') is an island about
100 miles (161km) south of Nassau, capital of the Bahamas, and has
been sensitively developed to preserve its natural assets and
ecosystem, while ensuring it provides a fantastic day ashore for
cruise passengers. The main attraction is the two-mile (3km)
crescent of surreally beautiful beach, dotted with palm trees,
adjacent to which are wonderful bird-watching opportunities in a
well-preserved waterfowl nesting habitat. All the facilities at
this pristine resort are connected by pathways, but those who
prefer can catch a tram which runs continuously from the welcome
centre to the food pavilion. Visitors wanting to cure their 'sea
legs' can take some delightful walks along marked trails with
descriptive signs pointing out the local trees, plants and
birds.

Bahamas.
Money
The official currency is the Bahamian Dollar (BSD), which is
divided into 100 cents. The Bahamian Dollar is equal in value to
the US Dollar and both currencies are accepted throughout the
islands. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
many hotels. There are ATMs in the main tourist centres and credit
and debit cards are widely accepted in all the big resorts.
Travellers cheques can be changed at all banks, although those in
US Dollars receive the best rates. Banks tend to be open from
9.30am to 3pm (Monday to Thursday) and 9.30am to 5pm (Fridays).
