Grand Cayman - gkbrownie's Rating: 5.0

Grand Cayman-Land and Sea GC05 We started with the NAUTILUS Sub, this was really good, it takes you just below the surface and you get to see old wrecks of metal ships and reefs and fish. They feed the fish from the ship so lots of good photos and amazing fish.The we until boarded the bus and drove alongside the coastal road passing the seven mile beach and the governers residence. Then onto to the Turtle farm. Lots of turtles from massive to ones you can hold, good photos again, quite enjoyable this. Then the driver literally drove across the road to the nearest Rum Cake shop, think this was to save time, where you could buy and taste Rum Cake. Then up the road to "HELL" Not much here really, few shops selling souvenirs and the stone formation in a field that look like HELL. From here he drove us back to the front and the ship where you could shop. If you want a taste for Grand cayman then this tour will give it to you, takes a while and time for shopping is limited but our driver showed and explained all the sights. I would holiday here as it looked fantastic. Sunny all day.

Cozumel - gkbrownie's Rating: 3.0

Discover mexico and Chankanaab Park Picked up from Pier bu coach and drove a short distance to Discover mexico. Following a short video, and a museum of artwork we walked round DISCOVER MEXICO which is basically a model village. lots of recreations of pyramids and major Mexican structures, unfortunately it rained so that didnt help. The guide was good and it was interesting for a while but only ok. From here we went to Chankanaab park. It was stil raining and the idea was to sit on the beach and sunbathe, it rained for most of the day. The Parks good, snorkelling etc. and you can touch and swin with dolphins, that looked amazing. On a sunny day this would be really nice. BUT its not far from the ship, so my recommendation is to skip Discover Mexico and get a Taxi to Chankanaab. Spend most of the day here but allow some time for shopping.Some shops are on the Port but the others are a short taxi ride away, we didnt have any time before the ship left when we did this tour.
