merandajanda Posted March 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Going on a cruise in April and one port is cayman islands. Can I bring my own umbrella/ chair/ beach shelter to 7 mile beach or do I have to pay for their equipment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted March 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I guess it would depend on how large the beach shelter. I have never seen anyone carrying quite that much around. You do realize you would have to carry it until you had access to your room, store it and be able to take it on and off the ship via tender. It really sounds like more trouble than it would be worth for such a short visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Noticed this is your first post: Welcome to Cruise Critic! :) It would be so much easily for you to rent what you wish at 7 Mile Beach than try to wag all of that stuff around with you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukbecky Posted March 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We have very small/light chairs and an umbrella that we used on beaches on St. Thomas, Grand Turk and Nassau last year. We plan on bringing them to a public beach on Grand Cayman in June. The locals use the public beaches and they don't necessarily rent chairs. I'm sure they often bring their own. I think it's Cemetery beach we will head to. It's nice not worrying about finding an available umbrella and/or chairs in an uncrowded area.

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2015 In part it depends on your cruise line allowing your to bring those items on board. Check what your cruise line shows as restricted items or sizes of non-luggage items. If small enough to fit inside your luggage when collapsed you might get it on board initially, but if the item is prohibited, it could be confiscated when you leave the ship or return from the beach.

cb at sea Posted March 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Of course you can! The folks who LIVE in GC carry their own beach stuff, I'm sure! The "rentals" are for your convenience...they don't force you to rent anything! Edited March 18, 2015 by cb at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
