Grand Cayman Islands

During spring break of my senior year in high school I went on a cruise with my family and friends. The cruise was on Royal Caribbean navigator of the seas and took us to four stops in the Caribbean. The ports included Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Among the stops one of the most beautiful places was Grand Cayman, one of the three Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman is a British colony and is located at the top of an underwater mountain. George Town is the capital and is the location where the cruise ships come in. In George Town there is a wide variety of shopping including jewellery, beautiful local arts and crafts, and designer clothes. Located five minutes from the cruise ship port is Seven Mile beach which has crystal clear waters and white sand, it was absolutely stunning and was where we spent most of our day. One of Grand Caymans main tourist attractions is Stingray city. Stingray city is a sandbar off the island where you can take boat out and swim with hundreds of stingrays. Unfortunately the day we were in Grand Cayman it was very windy on the north side of the island which is where stingray city is located and it was closed. Besides that minor downfall I still really enjoyed Grand Cayman and it was one of my favourite stops on the cruise. If your do not visit Grand Cayman while on a cruise it is extremely expensive due to its upscale hotels, private homes and condos. I looked up how much a week would be in an all inclusive in Grand Cayman and it was over $3000 which is very pricey.
