What to do for a couple of hours after excursion?

[Frznrth]

Hi

We will be in Grand Cayman in Feb and have an excursion that is supposed to end at 2:30. Ship leaves at 4:00. Is that enough time to do anything? Is there anything to do very close to the tender dock. When would the lady tender be?

Thanks.

I would love to know this as well. Hopefully someone will see this.

I would call it a day and get back on the ship before the buffet closes. :D

Buffet can wait. I’d much rather be on land - especially Cayman land - for as long as I can be.

It really doesn’t leave enough time to do anything except walking around the tender area for a few minutes.

When would the last tender be?

If the ship leaves at 4:00, all aboard would be 3:30. I would guess that the last tender would probably be around 3:00. I’d stay very close to the tender area after your excursion.

while I'm loath to mention this

 

Margaritaville is practically across the street from the main tender landing

 

I really don't like to recommend going to a US chain place when visiting any island ....but for you it offers a stop for an island drink I suppose.

 

... and there is plenty of (high end) shopping within a couple of blocks from here. There's a place that sells the Tortuga Rum cakes 'right there' [alto I can also buy these at my local liq' store here in FL]

It's a tourist trap around the tender piers. I would head back to the ship after the tour before it gets crowded.

That is probably the absolute best bet and a great recommendation. Thank you!

There's no need to spend time just to spend time.....You will need to be in the tender line by 3:30 at the latest. Traffic returning to the ship is SLOOOOOOOW in the afternoon...so you will probably not have time enough to worry about!

I would recommend you are in the tender line before 3pm. Our last time there we stood in line an hour, hot sun, really horrible ... that's how many people (like the whole ship!) were waiting to last minute to get back on ship. Never again for us. We will be there at least an hour before we need to be. Yuck.. I hate lines.

No way, take the bus to 7 Mile Beach. It's literally a short ride from the port. You can even see your ship from the beach.
