We are going on the Solstice Sept 26 too! First time cruisers and very much welcome all advice. We were wondering if the pre-purchased package would be a good idea for us. I like red wine and my husband is a rum and diet coke kind of guy (and wine with dinner). We've booked the Aqua Class and think it will be peaceful enough for us to actually miss our six yr old :) see you on board!

Well done, well done on ALL the great information!! You got it 99% "right" and I won't correct your historical notes as yours kept to the more romantic version. A few updates for you:

Our best known cocktail is a "mudslide" and is very tasty.

"Sunset House" offers great snorkel and fun bar crowd, but it is more than a mile walk from the cruise ships and no buses run down South Sound road. Very residential and a pretty walk though.

Cable & Wireless Telecoms is now called, "Lime" so look for that for Internet cafes and access, but with most islands, keep your cell phones OFF the roaming rates will cost more than your airfare to paradise.

The duty free for high-end watches and name brand jewelry offers very good prices vs the USA.

If crossing the street on Seven Mile Beach....look both ways and be very careful, there are speeding cars so take caution.

The Butterfly Farm shut down last year..(sadly).

Pedro St. James is a great historical spot with endless vast ocean views and a wonderful 20 minute air conditioned multi-media show in their theater. A good stop for history buffs.

Please cover up and dress modestly in public. Caymanians appreciate this.

Your review was perfect and should be commended. Enjoy Cayman!!!
