Who visited GC since storms?

I was wondering, what the condition of Grand Cayman is, since all of the storms. I know that they are now receiving a limited number of cruise ships at this time. The number is to slowly increase over time. Are most of the tour attractions open? Thanks for the info.

I was on the 10/31 Conquest--one of the first ships to visit Cayman. While there is still much destruction/damage on the island, all of the major sites (sandbar/Hell/snorkeling/7-mile beach/Turtle Farm) are open.

 

I'm sure someone from that cruise will post pictures within days. If they haven't done so already.

Jleg, thanks for the info. Now if the tenders can come out maybe we will get ashore this time.

We just sail Conquest 10/31. The island is still recovering from major damage. Power out on most of the island. But most of the Tourist areas have been brought back up to speed first. The locals are very happy to see us... see attached pic.

 

Have Fun

mcw331,

Nice to see another cruise critic addict in the same town and on the rolls! Was the Conquest your first cruise?

No 12th cruise.

We live on Okaloosa Island so we could really feel Grand Caymans pain with the Ivan Damage.

We're in Shalimar and upcoming ones will be our 12th and 13th. This will be our 2nd time on the Conquest next month. Nice to have a port so close...just wish Pensacola had gone along with having the cruise ships come in there!
