Welcome aboard, Mindy! I love the Western Caribbean itinerary, and have some fun suggestions for you to enjoy while you're there!
My favorite Port Adventures in Grand Cayman are any of those that include a visit to the Turtle Farm. My son had the time of his life as he got to get into the tank with the baby sea turtles to interact with them there. Plus, there are huge adult sea turtles, other sea creatures and lots of other areas to explore at the Turtle Farm. You won't regret taking an adventure that stops there! Check out the
Boatswain's Adventure if you want to spend your whole time there, or one of the others that includes a Turtle Farm stop if you want to do even more!
In Cozumel, we really enjoyed the
Cozumel Ruins and Beach tour because we got a history lesson and stepped into the culture of this unique city with Mayan ruins. I think it's important to not only play in each port, but learn something new too! Then, we all cooled off and relaxed and played the rest of the day away at the Playa Mia Beach club on the second part of the adventure. Do not forget to bring bottled water with you in Cozumel. It is very, very hot most of the time, and coming from Massachusetts, you won't be used to this heat, like I'm not used to it coming from Ohio. So, staying hydrated is a must!
Onboard, our family likes to have a different colored highlighter for each family member so we can easily mark up our Personal Navigator's schedule each day and highlight each of our "must-do" activities for the day.
Have fun counting down these last few weeks before you set sail, Mindy!
