Shopping in Cayman (NOT Souveniers!)

[LuckiStac13*Majesty*]

Can anyone explain the shopping here? I thought I heard that this was a good place to shop, is it? Do they have jewelry shops, perfume, etc? Where? Last time I was there (last year), I just saw the shops around the Pier and there wasn't anything I was interested in, just the regular souveniers, etc. Help!

lots of jewelry shops around the tender area. We know we saw 5-6 I think? Biggest thing about Grand Cayman is that the prices are really not that negotiable. What you see is what you pay, you might get a little something small thrown in, but you are pretty much paying what they are offering.

By all means go to the shopping talk while on the ship.

The shopping in GC to me seemed like over priced stuff I could get at the mall if I wanted to. I wasn't impressed-high prices and nothing original or that said "this is original, this comes from somewhere exotic". Maybe I wasn't shopping at the right places?

 

For not-so-high-end-but-still-nice jewelry, handmade things and yes souvenirs, I much preferred the shopping in Coz. Bring lots of CA$H!
