Today was our second port stop in Grand Cayman. We arrived a little later than I thought we would at 10AM. Due to the change in our schedule we were on the back side of the island. This is a tender port, so you have to take small boats into the island.
Before we went to bed last night we placed the room service card outside our door for breakfast. Many options on the menu that is included at no charge, so we took advantage of our large balcony. If you want bacon or anything “warm” it is an upcharge of $7.95.
Hillary and I were here a few months ago on Adventure of the Seas, so we decided to stay on board and enjoy the ship. Our first stop was actually the gym to burn some calories off and I’m happy to report all the equipment is brand new.
Most of the day I just lounged around the pool deck and took advantage of my drink package. I was surprised to see how many people stayed on board, the pool deck wasn’t packed but every chair taken.
I decided to surprise Hillary to a spa treatment, so I used my Crown and Anchor discount of 20% off and made her appointment. She was so surprised, and reported back it was a great experience. To avoid the end “up-sell” she said she just left the room after getting dressed.
We hung out on the pool deck until 3PM, but I noticed they never played any live music today, I suppose since it’s a port day.
My first stop after cleaning up for the night was the diamond lounge up on deck 13. I wanted to see what menu they had, since a few new options have been showing up across the fleet. They did have the new menu so it’s nice to see Royal Caribbean adding more options to happy hour.
Tonight I decided to have dinner in the main dining room. I noticed the new modern looking chairs they added during her dry dock last year. Our service was really great, they knew we did not want a very long dinner so the keep things moving. I was happy to come back to the dining room and surprised they had the very French onion soup served in Chops Grill.
The main event tonight was the 70’s disco party in the Centrum at 10pm. I was surprised to see how many people came out tonight. The party was so much fun, I think it’s been my favorite event all cruise. I was out dancing having fun with the cruise staff and even ran into the cruise director Chris! I also noticed many of the passenger dressed up in 70’s theme attire.
After the party it was time to wind down and call it a night. Tomorrow is our last day as we make our journey back to Tampa, Florida.
