[MicCanberra]

Tell them it is a requirement to be in the boat while you swim, just in case something happens.

Grand Cayman

After landing at Georgetown we walked about 20 minutes to the dive boat pausing for a photo stop .

The usual suspects

A lion fish , look but don't touch :eek:

 

 

Grand Cayman is famous for it 's turtles and turtle farm . Here's one swimming in a video that I took .

We don't eat much before diving and work up an appetite looking at all the fresh seafood and so we ate lunch before returning to the ship .

Lobster rolls

Conch chowder

Conch fritters

I am always amazed at how great your underwater shots come out. That flash/light set up really does make a huge difference.

Thanks Mic, it sure does . Did you watch the Melrose Cup yesterday ?

Beautiful pictures.

No I didn't, it wasn't televised here (free to air) and we haven't got any of the pay TV channels that may have had it. Aussie women lost in the semi's to France, Aussie men finished tenth. NZ winning it for both the Women and the Men.

Beautiful pictures.

 

Thank you , it's a different world down there and a photo or video brings it back ...

Hi! We'll be in a mini-suite on the CB in February. Can you tell me about the "dreaded vent"? How do we know where it is in order to avoid it? We got stuck with a less than ideal mini-suite on the Regal last year (right under the skywalk) and I'd rather not make the same mistake again. Thank you!

Thank you , we're glad that you enjoy them .:):D

Hello Sally , the vents are in the aft and only affect three floors A, B and C in the center of the ship and they run continuously. But the balcony is large and covered providing some privacy from above .

 

 

 

 

The Regal and Royal balconies under Skywalk are more exposed .

Since they have been working on the Caribbean Princess all year to get the ***** working-the key to success for the whole program-does it work now if someone was recently on it?

Nope. Still in small test on the Regal.

Although I wasn't diving with you on this trip, I was just diving in Grand Cayman myself back in early May. Your photos and videos do bring those memories back.

 

My dive shop is located right next to Rackhams, and I had every intention of finally going there for dinner one night during our week on Grand Cayman. Unfortunately, we never managed to get there. Guess that means we have to go back! :D

Actually they have only been working on it on the CB since spring when the Regal sailed to Europe.

 

Supposedly it will go live on the CB in early August for a limited number of cabins.

You both look great in the pictures and your scuba diving pictures make me want to learn how to scuba dive myself!!!!

 

We stayed in a mini-suite on Regal but made sure we weren't near the skywalk area....wouldn't like everyone having such a clear view from above!!!:eek::)

It's a different world down there ! We have only dove Vero for lobster because they have some big ones . :cool: All of the stops on this cruise are good for diving with our favorites being Cozumel , Grand Cayman , Roatan and Belize - in that order .

How did you like the Regal compared to the Eclipse ?
