For those who've had Verandah suites, what advantages are there to booking a cabana?
Is the "stuff your laundry in a bag" deal roughly midway through the itinerary?

I want to know what you do/did in Grand Cayman, and your assessment of it? It's on our upcoming itinerary and I'm struggling with what to do there.

I didn't find it to be a party boat - there were couples, & families on our trip. While drinks are served it is very low key.

We have only done the Champagne Cat Sail, & plan to do it again this December. Great excursion, in my opinion.

My limited experiences with FoD meetings were that all were monosexual individuals having a great vacation. I think most would agree that greater diversity only augments the experience. More importantly, perhaps, is that all would agree that cruises should be fun & inclusive of all. Be yourselves, have fun. Others will be grateful for your courage & impressed by your commitment.

We were also just looking at this & also wondering what CC's collective wisdom is?

Good beach to snorkel/relax
in Curacao
Posted · Edited by K&KSk
Two options we can highly reccommend:
1. Playa Forti, near WestPunt. This was a small, very very quiet beach, surrounded by rock walls on three sides. Pebble beach, not sand, but still great for swimming and stretching out. Plenty of room to spread a towel, and there was one table with an umbrella -- which we happily occupied. You must climb down a stairway to get to the beach - but we had it all to ourselves for at least an hour before heading down the road. There is a restaurant on the hill south of the beach, but there are no washrooms on the beach. Although this may seem remote, Playa Forti was a highlight of our December 2013 cruise - having the place to ourselves was a wonderful surprise/treat. Public/no charge/free parking.

2. Playa Daaibooi - a larger, wider, sandy beach - frequented by friendly Dutch speakers. Very friendly staff at the on-beach/casual restaurant (Daaibooi Beach Bar) where we enjoyed a great Heineken and "Dutch hotdog". Try it. Yum. Feral chickens running around. Plenty of umbreallas and tables, if that's what you want, also plenty of open-sand and open beach area, as well as washrooms. Beautiful spot, fun vibe. Free parking/No charge beach access. Great snorkelling.

We rented a car, so unsure about the public transit - but the rental was *well worth* the experience. We walked off the ship, rented the car within ~30 minutes.
Best wishes for a great holiday!
