We are on the Edge sailing 3/13 and Grand Cayman stop has become an "at sea" day.  I guess we were not lucky.

Aw was hoping Horizon was going to since we sail on the 22nd. So disappointing.

NVM my tired eyes at night... my friend just pointed out to me that was March not May dates LOL So we may still have a chance!

Hi. I was heartened to read that Grand Cayman was opening up again. I was scheduled to dock on 30th March on Marella Explorer 2.

I was looking forward to a nice beach day but my hopes were dashed when I received notification of cancellation of the port. We'll now be staying for an overnight in Montego Bay.

Do you think there's still a chance or is it a definite no once they advise so?

Cheers,

Kernel

Plan excursions for Montego Bay.  You’re not going to Cayman.
