Grand Cayman

Nov 27th
Grand Cayman

Today I had a very short time in Grand Cayman. After a boat drill in the morning, it wasn’t until later that I was able to get off the ship. This was another tender port, and between the tendering time, the morning drill, and a rehearsal at 2:30, I had very little time to actually check out the port. I did get off though, and spent my 90 minutes or so wandering through the city. I tried not to stray to far from the port, but did want to get past all the tourist areas. Grand Cayman, unlike all these other Caribbean ports, is actually still fairly nice outside of the tender stations. The city is fairly clean, and it has a lot of large, well kept buildings, many of which are banks. After taking joy in the fact that I could walk around without feeling like my life was in imminent danger, I made my way back into the tourist areas and checked out a few shops. And as far as shopping is concerned, Grand Cayman probably had the nicest selection of little shops to visit, and I actually enjoyed walking through the tourist areas. The weather was great as always, and my souvenir sunburn from Jamaica reminded me of its presence. I then made it back to the tender, which barely got me back to the ship on time. The problem with tenders is that you have to wait forever for the boat to fill up before they sail back to the ship. Luckily though, I made the rehearsal with no problem and the All Access production show for that night went off just fine. But that aside, that’s about all for Nov 27th, thanks!
