Thanks for the responses. I assumed they are a really good company as my e-mails with them have been prompt and informative. We've booked with them for June 2018!

Going to Falmouth in June; planning to do river tubing. Has anyone used Patrice Bailey for a tour operator? Have read some really good reviews on Trip Advisor. We have also used Courtney Taylor in the past and am considering using his company again. Any thoughts?

Family of six with two grandsons, ages 8 and 11. Wanting to do river tubing that is fun, but not challenging for the boys. Has anyone done Rio Bueno Tubing? I have also looked at White River Tubing but I think that will be a longer drive from Falmouth which is where our cruise will dock.

Has anyone used Patrice Bailey tours while in Falmouth? She has EXCELLENT reviews on trip advisor so am going to check with her.

Any ideas for something fun for the boys to do? Have been to Dunns Falls - don't want to do that again. Don't want to drive over an hour plus for an excursion.

Looked at river tubing and adventure falls offered by ship excursions but the tubes are tied together and the boys didn't really want to do that - it looked a little too calm!!

Thanks for any suggestions?

We are a family of six planning a visit to Grand Cayman in June on the Disney Fantasy. Has anyone used Cayman Eco Adventures for the stingray/snorkel tour? They received excellent reviews on Trip Advisor and have been extremely prompt in answering my e-mails.

Also, this tour (which is for cruise ship passengers) requires us to be on the dock (off the tender) to meet the rep at 11:30. The ship is supposed to be in port at 10:30. I have had experience with tenders before so know the drill - just not sure how Disney handles passengers with private excursions vs Disney port adventure passengers. Has anyone out there done something like this with Disney before?

This tour also makes a snorkeling stop at the barrier reef. Is this an okay snorkel stop for two boys,ages 8 and 11, who are inexperienced snorkelers?

I know I'm asking alot of questions but just need some reassurance that this is doable and I am picking an excursion the whole family will enjoy. (I will worry up until the time we meet the rep is I book independently!) :p

Thanks for your help!

Our family of six will be going to the western caribbean on the Fantasy in June 2018. Can anyone tell me how the process works for tenders in Grand Cayman? We would like to book a tour with an independent tour operator. The ship will dock from 10:30 to 5:30 if everything goes according to schedule. We would need to meet the tour on the pier at 11:30.

Does Disney take their shore excursion passengers on the first tenders? Do we have to stand in a line to get a number for the tender?

If anyone has done this recently, I would sure appreciate hearing from you about the best way to make an early tender!

Thanks for the great review. One question -- are the blowdryers in the balcony cabins that weird-looking contraptions? Do I need to bring my own???
