Eastern for a 2 and 5 year old?

[buzz&woody'smom]

My friend has finally understood why I love DCL after just getting back from a RCCL cruise and booked the 5/22/04 Western Magic but now has changed to the Eastern bc a co-worker from California told her Key West does not have beaches and that Grand Cayman is like Florida Now being from the East Coast and having been to Florida 100's of times since my parents live there etc. I told her GC was in no way like Florida. Florida's beaches are beautiful but GC I felt was special. I also told her with her children being so young KW would be perfect to do the trolley or train and not a beach. Anyway I have not done the Eastern, what is there for little children to do in the ports?

Thanks!!!

Great picture and great information. Are there any beaches on the Eastern via DCL excursion or on our own?
