Last time we took a cruise that was supposed to stop at Grand Cayman, the weather was against us. The seas were too high to berth safely at the George Town port, and the other port was full, so we ended up skipping the place. Which was sad, because we really wanted to do something we'd done before, which is to snorkel off the coast at the Eden Rock Dive Shop.

The fare on this cruise has been stand-out in how good it is. Past cruises have mostly been decent, save for our second one which was a few years after the 2008 crash, and probably a result of the line cutting costs.

The buffet on this one has been outstanding in terms of quality and selection.... (Continue reading: http://travel.mushtee.com/?p=960)
