New to cruising with kids

[redd1073]

I'm new to cruising. I have two kids 8 & 5. What is the best excursions? in grand Cayman? Cozumel?

In Coz you can keep it cheap and spend the day at the beach, or spend a lot for your kids to swim with/interact with dolphins. etc.

 

With two that young I would look at either Paradise Beach (pay-as-you-go, nice beach, good facilities, HUGE pool) or Playa Mia (all-inclusive packages, kiddie water park, nice beach). Both will be about a $17+tip cab ride each way for all 4 of you.

 

In GC I would take the kids to Stingray City - we've been twice with Moby Dick (smaller boat, great service, kid sized life vests, masks, etc.).

 

Good luck! :)

We'll have 5 kids in our group ages 3,6,7,8 and 12 and we are thinking of doing Paradise Beach. Does anyone know if they have life jackets for the kids? Also do we need water shoes? I read that it was a little rocky in some spots.
