    Grand Cayman to remain closed to at least September 1,2020

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Grand Cayman originally had a reopen date of May 31 but Tourism Minister Moses Kirkconnell said that the island will now remain closed to tourists until at least September 1, 2020.

    Several cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Disney Cruise Line, all currently have cruises in August with a port stop in Grand Cayman. Despite Grand Cayman being on many cruise itineraries, Kirkconnell said that cruise ships will not be allowed to visit that month.

     

    Government officials said that although the port will not be open to cruise lines until September 1, there’s no guarantee that the port will reopen then. A timeline for reopening will be reviewed at a later date.

    Kirkconnell added that he doesn’t think cruise ships will be able to visit Grand Cayman in the third and fourth quarter.

    The government is currently in the process of putting together a plan for the reopening of tourism on the island.

     

    I’m sure that Carnival will be making arrangements to find another suitable port stop.

    FTTF available

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Hello my fellow cruisers,

     

    I am booked on the August 26 sailing of Magic out of Port Canaveral. I have looked for FTTF every day for the past 3 months. Finally TODAY I found limited availability so I snatched it up.

    The bottom line is don't give up, keep looking!

    We always try to schedule our cruises for October. The fares are less expensive, and fewer kids because they are in school. The temperatures are still quite hot and we have enjoyed warm waters ( around 85*). The downside is that it is still hurricane season and you take the chance of having one during your cruise. Of the 15 cruises we have taken the only problems we've had is rough seas for the last 2 days for hurricane Sandy, and another time we had to reverse our itinerary to avoid a hurricane.

    Deluxe Stingray City Sandbar?

    in Cayman Islands

    Posted

    I recommend booking the Stingray City tour with Moby Dick. I've used them 3 times and each trip has been fantastic! Great personalized service, a great price and smaller number of people.

    Look them up on the web.

    Valor balcony worth it?

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Our first cruise was an inside cabin. It was nice because we had 5 different ports in 7 days, not a lot of time in the cabin. Then we went on a cruise that had 3 sea days and we had a balcony.

    Now every cruise we go on we get a balcony. Its so nice to be out there to enjoy the sea. We have our breakfast on the balcony every morning.

    I say go for it.

    Valor...Balcony on Spa or Panorama deck?

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    I have never been on this ship so I will rely upon all of you Cruise Critic Carnival experts.

    Which deck should I choose and why? Now I realize that these comments will be totally subjective, but I need your opinions.

    This is for my wife and myself. I'm 62 and she is younger than me:D

    Thanks
