Sorry. I don't have any ideas for non- water, zipline. We've stayed in the island for 10 days at a time. It's known for amazing snorkeling, clear beaches and wildlife. There aren't really any "sights" like some islands. When we cruuse, we spend the day doing mission work on Coxen Hole. We take school supplies and toiletries for a large group of children. You will love the children there. They are so grateful for anything you give them.

Just a suggestion. This is a super easy port to do an excursion on your own. We've done the stingrays with Stingray Sailing 7 times. We've always been back to the pier with hours to spare our got dropped at a beach for a few hours. Stingray sailing is a beautiful sailing catamaran. Chip only takes 20+/- people at a time. He has really nice snorkeling equipment(compared to basic snorkel at on "group" excursions). He anchors away from everyone else. You have tons of time with the rays - lots of great pics! When you arrive at the sandbar you will see exactly why I recommend him. While everyone else is packed on a crowded one or two-level ferry boat, waiting in line just to get in the water - you will be already enjoying the rays with all the time you'd like. Everyone we've taken on this tour said it feels luxurious for $85! Chip offer great service. He's super easy to find at the pier. They are very organized. Definitely one of our top 10 tours in 60+ cruises.

I would absolutely not wait until the day of. We have been going to Roatan for 15 years(2-3 times a year). Ronystours is a perfect option. Choose the freestyle option. You can configure your day any way you like for 1/2 the price of a so excursion. You will be free to come and go as you please. Lots of great things to do. I recommend all I f these: swimming with dolphins at Anthony's Key. Interacting with large birds, monkeys, and sloths at Mayan Eden. Snorkeling/amazing beach - West Bay. South Shore Canopy for a great zip line. For example: Sone could go to Mayan Eden while others swim with the dolphins. Then some could get dropped at zipline while others go to the beach. Then, all could meet at the beach. They are very closeby. Just an example. Also, with private driver - see something you like - Driver will stop. Take photos anywhere you like. I can assure you that Rony and his drivers will make sure you have a great day!

We've used Ronystours MANY times. I highly recommend him. The freestyle tour is great - do everything at your own pace. He is a great guy. We have a great day with him every visit!

Someone in our group would like to know if Carnival sell Pall Mall Orange 100's on the ship?

Just off the Sunrise. Sorry to report, still no pickleball. We were on a 6 night cruise. Pleasantly surprised how much we liked it. We had low expectations. But had a great time. Would have been even better with pickleball.

Oh no - I'm definitely worried if it was WORSE than Cats! Guess we can give it a try and find something else to do if we don't care for it.

I wouldn't miss out of the stingrays if this will be your only visit to Grand Cayman. I can tell you that no other companies will compare to Chip at Stingray Sailing. Maybe just read tripadvisor reviews. I'd definitely choose one that is not a ship-sponsored tour or one that has a double-decker boat packed with people. I'd spend a little more money and go with a company that takes a small group.

Just off Mariner. I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised we were. We normally only cruise on the "newest and biggest". Booked this with friends for them to try cruising. Absolutely LOVED the Mariner! The shows weren't spectacular(just our opinion), but we really had a GREAT time!

Yep, they just hang out. We usually buy them lunch. They absolutely do not expect this so don't think you'd need to do this.

If you want to go to the beach while he dives, Mayan Princess Resort has a great dive shop. The guides are excellent, and they have good equipment. You can enjoy this fabulous beach while he dives. There are less expensive shops in the West End, however, you'd have to take a small taxi boat to West Bay to enjoy the nice beach.

You are so kind. I really appreciate you checking for me! Thanks!!!

Any recent Meraviglia cruisers know the cost of the FUN PASS onboard? Online, prior to sailing, the fun pass is $80 with a value of $140.

I read somewhere that the ship does not provide basketballs. It will definitely not be convenient to take a basketball along, but our group wants to play for sure. Does anyone know first hand if basketballs are provided?

Anyone had a cabin Aft Deck 8 above the Casino? We are wondering if noise is an issue?
