We have chosen our cruise
We have selected a group cruise on Freedom of the Seas, leaving 5/15/11
out of Port Canaveral, cabin 8354, visiting Labadee, Falmouth (hopefully), Georgetown and Cozumel. We will be flying down to Orlando the day before and probably take a shuttle to the port. Now we have to iron out all the little the details....is it May yet? Marsha |

I have been on Freedom of the Seas, liked it, and I think it will fit the list you posted. -- Charles |

But, after reading this group for years, I was pretty sure of what we wanted. We have been wanting to do this for quite some time and it has finally come to fruition. It will be fun! I am looking for a site that will tell me what kind of shows we can look forward to seeing on board. Marsha |

Which I think is one of the very best excursions there is. --Tom |

Mostly we want to compare the ship's excursions versus a private way to see what we want, and which might be better. RC's web site is very helpful in describing the amount of physical activity required for a particular tour. Marsha |

RC's web site is very helpful in describing the amount of physical activity required for a particular tour. Marsha Stingray City is about a 30-40 boat ride out to a waist deep sandbar on the calm side of Grand Cayman. The boats anchor in slightly deeper water, and you need to get to the sand bar. Once on the sand bar, the water is only waist deep. I think it's a wonderful experience. There are several stingrays that are so gentle that the excursion people lift them to the surface of the water where you can tough them. They will also give squid to people who'd like to feed the stingrays. You can either do a ship excursion, or some here may recommend a private excursion (I think Charles knows several). Either way, I think it's something not to be missed. --Tom |

The independent excursions that I know of add one or two reefs to snorkel at in addition to the sand bar. Some don't want to be anywhere near a Stingray. In that case there is Seven Mile beach by taxi. Calico Jacks at Sea Grape is where I would recommend being let off. Bar and Restaurant and beach chairs for rent. -- Charles |

They are reputable and very good and you can get the times of their excursions online so that you can book one that is safely in bounds with the ship's stay in the Caymans. You made a good choice booking the Freedom of the Seas! Have a great time! --Jean |

Good stuff, good prices and good reputation. Suzy, or Charles, do you remember the name? --Tom |
