Questions re. Western Cruise

["Tigger" Abigail]

Hi; I've been on the four day cruise, but not the 7 day Western; will be going on that this year. Here are my questions. On Key West day, our party will be going on the train/trolley excursion at 12:30. Is there enough time to have the Palo Brunch that morning and not have to rush? (assuming we get the first reservation time of course). 2nd, in Key WEst, is there a liquor store near the docks where we could buy beer/liquor? Not duty free stuff; we would be consuming it on board! Finally, some of the seniors in our party wonder about how you get into the tenders at Grand Cayman; they had visions of climbing on some rickety ladder. I was sure this wasn't the case, but never having done it, couldn't provide any further info! Thanks...

I'll let someone else answer your Key West questions. I think the brunch can last as long as you keep eating!

As to Grand Cayman--the tenders are easy to board. Just remember all the folks bringing strollers with them. We did the Captain Marvin's stingray tour in January and had a great time. The beaches there are really lovely, too.

Hello....hope I can help

Am not too sure I'd be in a hurry - Palo's brunch is WONDERFUL!! You can prob get the Trolly/Train almost anytime and still have time to see everything.

Yes, you can find one or more liquor stores near the dock. We purchsed wine, liquor and mixers to have in the room - also, thought the prices to be a little high. Should you run out...Cayman and Cozumel also has places to 'stock up on adult beverages'.

Cayman tendors wern't a problem...ship/dock are transfers from a ramp...not a ladder. My MIL has 'challenges' with steps (up/down)...she did great with the tender. Walking around Cayman was a little different...narrow sidewalks, uneven ground and too many people (5 or 6 ships docked on the same day) made it tough on mom. I understand that Guest Services has some wheelchairs you can borrow...wish we would have.

Best tip for Cayman...schedule an 'early' excursion through Disney. This way...you get priority in getting off the boat.

And your party is in luck, "Tigger" Abigail. The ramp isn't even rickety! lol.

Enjoy your cruise.
