4myguys Posted June 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Any chance on seeing fireworks on July 4 from the ship? I don't think Carnival will shoot them off from the ship but wondered if we would see any from nearby islands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted June 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I doubt it, since it's only a holiday in the US, and not in other countries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted June 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2014 GC doesn't give a fig about America's Independence! After all, that's why WE celebrate the 4th, right? They won't be doing fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted June 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Fireworks are more of a Christmas activity here in Cayman. We don't celebrate the 4th of July as American Independence Day but occasionally Cayman Constitution Day coincides. Constitution Day is celebrated on the first Monday of July, which will be July 7 this year. But the celebration does not involve fireworks.

Capt_BJ Posted June 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2014 option change to a Disney cruise I'm fairly confident they will have fireworks on the fourth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew sailbum Posted June 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Other issue, I suppose, is that cruises typically depart Cayman waters well before sunset. I would guess that you would be well over the horizon before any of our fireworks shows would start. I'd guess you would be so far from shore that you might not even be able to catch a glimpse of the fireworks on the horizon. Alas few ships ever overnight here in Cayman. During our Pirate's Week in early November would be ideal as it is one of our biggest fireworks shows of the year and it is right in George Town Harbour. You'll just have to come down for a stay-over vacation to enjoy our pirate spirit and take in our District Heritage Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll get lucky and end up close to a Disney ship.;) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
