DCL Grand Cayman Excursions

[cruisnfamily]

Thanks everybody for the help on Key West Excursions….now I’m moving on to Grand Cayman. I am interested in personal accounts and details of the following excursions. Did you and your kids enjoy these? Did they run over on time or were the times pretty accurate?

We will definitely book our excursion thru DCL (I know about Capt Marvins) because we prefer to do it that way.

****************************************************

Island Tour & Snorkeling with Stingrays (3.5 hours)

Visit the Cayman Islands' own slice of paradise, the world-famous Seven Mile Beach. Then you'll experience classic island architecture with a trip to "Old Homestead." Next stop: the one and only Cayman Turtle Farm. Then you're off to a prehistoric rock formation like no other in the world, a place the locals call "Hell." Finally, it's Stingray Sandbar! Here you'll get up close with amazing sea life. Snorkeling equipment is provided.Adult Price: $60 (ages 10 and above)Child Price: $50 (ages 5-9) Departure Time: 10:45 am

Stingray City Snorkeling & Discover Cayman Tour (3.5 hours)

You've never been to a city like this before! Stingray City is teeming with these curious creatures. In the hour you're snorkeling among them, they're sure to come close enough to touch. All snorkeling equipment is provided. Next, you'll travel to see incredible ancient geological formations in a place the locals call "Hell." Then to Turtle Farms, the only turtle-breeding operation of its kind in the world. Bottled water and fruit punch are provided. Adult Price: $55 (ages 10 and above)Child Price: $45 (ages 5-9)Departure Time: 7:50 am, 9:45 am


These two sound very similar but in reading Barb’s review, it sounds like the Island Tour one is the best because you are in smaller groups. Has anyone done the other one? I would appreciate any feedback on these two as we are pretty sure we will do one of these excursions.

****************************************************

Shipwreck & Reef Snorkeling (2 - 2.5 hours)

C'mon--take the plunge. First, you'll head to one of the Caymans' most famous wrecks, the Callie. Experienced dive masters will provide a history of the ship and snorkeling instruction. After exploring the Callie, you'll visit another site to view coral reef formations, tropical fish and you may even spot a turtle. Snorkeling equipment, ice water and lemonade are provided. Adult Price: $35 (ages 10 and above)Child Price: $30 (ages 5-9) Departure Time: 7:45 am, 1:40 pm


This one sounds pretty good too. Anbody done this?

Hey Sonya, look at the first Western trip report on my website for details on the Island Tour and Snorkeling with Stingrays. We LOVED it! However, it definitely did run over the scheduled time. That seemed to be the case on all our Western excursions.
