Thursday ~ Grand Cayman…Happy Thanksgiving!!  We were to anchor in George Town, but due to bad weather, (the street was actually closed off the previous day due to flooding), we had to anchor in Spott’s Bay.  It was a very short distance to George Town.  What a beautiful island!!!  We headed of course to go shopping.  What a nice shopping district…clean, lots of things to choose from…naturally, what you’ll find is a lot of jewelry stores on all these islands.  Some have some great deals, some have inflated prices.  You have plenty of time in port to go from store to store to see who’ll give you the best deal.  You’ll find many of the same items in each store, so comparing prices will be easy.

After we were done our shopping we decided to visit Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville for a bite to eat and a frozen strawberry margarita.  We ordered Volcano Nacho’s…what a huge portion.  Needless to say we couldn’t even get close to finishing it.  The frozen strawberry margarita was so good we had to have another one.  The server was friendly and attentive.  We even got a free shot from the young lady walking around with coconuts and a grass skirt.  We even got to catch part of the Miami Dolphins game during lunch.  Would definitely go back to this beautiful island and to Margaritaville.

There is plenty to do on Grand Cayman…the beaches are beautiful, the water is crystal clear, great for snorkeling and any water sport you may desire to do.

We came back to the ship to play some BINGO…didn’t win.  But the crowd was having a great time.  The ship has so much to do…you can do as little or as much as you want.  That goes for the ports of call too. There is a several Cinemas on board with a different movie playing each day.  There are several bar & lounges…

Mast Bar ~ bright open air bar during the day, night air & view the stars in the evening.

Bar at the edge of the Earth ~ formally known as Reflections, lounge by day, disco by night.

Seaside Pool Bar ~ near the main pool

Champagne Bar ~ enjoy caviar with wine or champagne from around the world

Martini Bar ~ great place for those who enjoy martinis

Michael’s Club Piano Bar ~ an intimate setting with live pianist

Cova Café di Milano ~ specialty coffee and tea’s

Rendez-Vous Lounge ~ the perfect place for a cocktail before dinner.

Each lounge has special entertainment each day that is listed in Celebrity Today (your daily guide to what’s going on aboard the ship).

We had an exceptional dinner for Thanksgiving in the San Marco Restaurant.  Missed the kids, but enjoyed our dinner company and the food.  We had a peaceful night, played Wheel of Fortune, (casino employees are very generous with their free drink passes in the casino) and took a moonlit stroll along the deck before heading back to the cabin.
