Panama Canal and Southern Caribbean – January 2023

Day 11 – Grand Cayman

 

We had been to Grand Cayman twice before and were ready to revisit a few favorite places and then take our tour of the Queen Elizabeth II Royal Botanic Park and Pedro St. James.  Then our ship docked.  We were confused.  Nothing looked familiar.  And then we realized that our ship had not docked in the main George Town harbor, but instead we were docked at Spotts Bay.

 

Of course, knowing cruise lines and how ridiculously little information they share with passengers, this change was not announced, and neither were we told how we could get to our tours that were supposed to pick us up in George Town.  After lots of confusion and asking questions of multiple people, we were finally assured that tour operators had been informed of our location and would pick us up – just later than planned.
