starq1 Posted December 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2004 We don't want to do the stingray tour so what else is there to do??? I would like to book through RCCL since this is our first cruise. There is not a whole lot listed on their website. Is it possible just to do our own thing while we are there? I mean like the beach and then shopping? Do they have good snorkeling there? Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjunea Posted December 13, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2004 You tender in to the middle of Georgetown and shopping is all around you there. Hard Rock Cafe, etc all within walking distance. Snorkeling is good in places off Seven Mile Beach, not so good in others. Your best bet is to go with one of the locals to snorkel if you are so inclined. They will take you out to reefs, etc. When we went for 5 days, my husband didn't want to do the stingrays either then. Now, he can't wait until the cruise to do it. But he had never snorkeled before either. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted December 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Tons of great snorkeling even from the shore. http://caymanislandsdiscounts.com/OffshoreSnorkeling.htm Hard Rock is closed until Spring because of Ivan damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlb49 Posted December 14, 2004 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2004 We rented a car from Avis for about $50 for the day and drove to Rum Point. It was an easy drive, and we were able to stop and see what we wanted as we went along. It took about 1 1/2 hours going (due to stops) but only about 40 minutes coming back. The beach was great and it had a great little outdoor grill where we had lunch. A thread a few days ago advised that it was operational at this point.

cruisingchic Posted December 22, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hi Dawn We got a taxi outside the dock for around $4. We hired snorkels from Red Sail Sports on 7-Mile beach (they were dear though, $50 for 2 people, we are taking our own this time around!) and we just snorkeled and sunbathed. Then we caught the public bus/taxi back into town and looked round the shops. We had a fantastic time, can't wait to return in 3 weeks time! Yeah! Happy Xmas.
