 The theater & show room is
quite nice by TheTravelSlut, 3 more photos
1. Take advantage of the coupon books made available for on-board purchases. Good savings
2. You're allowed to bring 1 bottle of wine or champagne on-board but not alcohol or beer
3. You may request a daily fruit basket via your room attendant
4. If you crave a very late night meal (or snack), the Horizon Court restaurant serves up great
specially made food not available elsewhere. I enjoyed caviar one night
5. Sabatini’s, the Italian alternative restaurant, serves an 8-course meal in an intimate setting & you'll not leave feeling hungry. There is a additional fee here & a nice break from the dining rooms
6. Personal choice (anytime dining) is an option allowing you to choose when & where to eat in lieu of traditional late/early main dining seating. The Bordeaux restaurant is used for this and main dining is in the Provence dining room. Note: Once you select Personal Choice, you can't opt for main dining.
7. Room service is available 24 hours a day & my experience was great each time. The longest I waited was 15 minutes for a large breakfast (which I had delivered at least 5 times during the cruise). The food & coffee were hot, & the service prompt & easy to order by phone or doorcard.
8. There are coin-operated self-service Laundromats (with irons & ironing boards on each deck). There is also a full laundry & valet service. For USD $2 you can wash a huge load of clothes & dry them also. It allows you to take fewer clothes & on your last day at sea, you can spend a couple hours doing a weeks worth of laundry before going home
9. Robes are available for use during your cruise but they must be requested. You can also purchase them. Ask your room attendant
10. Special disembarkation is available to those that wish to offload their own luggage. If you can and want to carry off ALL of your luggage by yourself, you will be permitted to leave the ship as early as 7:15 a.m. on the last day.
All in all, I highly recommend the Coral Princess.

I spent 10 nights on the Coral Princess in March 2007 on a cruise that took me from Ft. Lauderdale, FL.; Ocho Rios Jamaica; The Panama Canal (Gatun Locks); Colon, Panama; Limon (& rainforests) Costa Rica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico.
I found the ship near flawless, the food was outstanding 90% of the time, & staff was both easy to find, willing to help & genuinely happy.
Basic Coral Princess information:
1,974 passengers; 90% outside staterooms; 737 staterooms with balconies.
Designed specifically as the largest cruiseship to be able to navigate the Panama Canal (with about 18 inches to spare)
There are five (5) primary dining locations including two dining rooms; New Orleans-style café (The Bayou Steakhouse); Italian Trattoria (Sabatini’s); Horizon Court which is the buffet-style 24-hour restaurant with panoramic views from the bow. Also, there's a pizza parlor (free), ice cream station (fee), & grill (free) above the Lido deck pool.
There is an on-board wedding chapel with video & web-cam capabilities, a world-class spa, golf simulator, full Las Vegas-style casino, art gallery. In addition, there is a Library with listening chairs, Internet café, a walk-around promenade deck, fully-supervised Youth-Teen center (with their own pool), an indoor & adult-only pool, and plenty of nooks for quiet time.
The Central Atrium on Deck 6 has the shopping area with the normal duty-free items including fine gifts & accessories, apparel, sundries, fine jewelry, liquor, cosmetics & perfume.
Other areas of the ship that should be checked out include:
Churchill’s Cigar Lounge offering premium cigars, fine spirits, ports & cognacs
The Princess Theater for Broadway-style shows
The Universe Lounge for everything from major movies to study-at-sea programs
The Explorers Lounge for karaoke & disco dancing
The Wheelhouse Bar for the lightest music & friendly staff

Watch out for the roundabouts - always drive in a clockwise direction - give way to traffic approaching from the right.
There are some 4 way stops - first in first out. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomePhone: 945 8344

 The bus booth behind the
Library by melissa_bel
They are in fact mini-vans and don't really have designated stops (exept its departure point).
You can find the bus just behind the Library in George Town.
They are quite frequent, efficient, not expensive and a good solutions for those who stops on Grand Cayman during a cruise.
If you plan on staying longer, it may be a good idea to rent a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

If you book excursions through the cruise lines, transportation will be taken care of for you. If you choose to take matters into your own hands, transportation is quite simple as well.
Long rows of cabs are waiting on Harbour Drive located adjacent to the cruise tendering area. The cabs are mostly new, clean and safe. Best of all, most have fully-functioning air conditioners.
Fares are determined by destination per person. The amounts are given up front so there will be no surprises at the end of the trip.
By comparison, travelling by cab was much more difficult in Boston than on Grand Cayman. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Our flight was with Swiss to Miami which was a non-stop, 10 1/2 hour flight.
The crucial point was landing in Miami going through immigration which took an hour because all visitors including us had to have their digit fingers scanned and their photos taken.
After this we had to claim our luggage dash to the gate where Cayman Airways was leaving. To our horror, the girl at the counter refused to accept our e-ticket and wanted us to pay for a new ticket or stay overnight in Miami.
We of course refused to do this as we had booked over the internet and paid by credit card. She kept us waiting until the last minute before we were allowed to board with our luggage.
The very next day after landing in Grand Cayman, we made our way to the Cayman airways office to clarify things.
The girl at the counter verified that our e-ticket was OK and the girl at the counter in Miami must have made a mistake. We were relieved and put this down to another experience in flying. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

It takes only 70 minutes from Miami with a B737-200 aircraft!
A plus: if the weather is clear you profit from superbe turquoise sea and islands panoramas.

The turtle has played a significant role in the history and development of the Cayman Islands. The logo - Sir Turtle - honors that contribution. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I would recommend a taxi if you've only got a short time (ie arriving/departing via cruise ship), otherwise, you'll wear yourself out trying to see everything. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
