I didn’t realize they had their own menu. Here it is.

 

Great Review as usual, seeing this made me pull up Carnival.com to see the count down, still over 100 days. Oh well, really enjoying your review.

[Saint Greg]

Good morning from Grand Cayman!

 

We’re here with the carnival sensation. There may be a ship on the other side I haven’t looked yet. 

 

Weather looks great. I have a non-carnival excursion that meets in about an hour and a half. That one does the turtle farm, hell, and seven mile beach.

 

They aren’t very prompt on uploading the pdf copies of those fun times so I’ll have to grab it later like yesterday

That Montego Bay excursion seemed ... underwhelming. What did you think? Did it cost significantly less than a taxi??

It cost me $35 dollars. I wanted to try the jerk chicken and get to the hip strip...and get a picture of the ship with the mountains in the background. Those are the things I missed last time. It worked for me. I did Dunn’s River Falls there earlier this year. I’m not sure what a taxi runs. Sometimes can be expensive and tough to get by yourself. In freeport I had to wait forever for a taxi because they were all vans and wanted groups of people

Stayed tuned for my report on whether or not sea turtles actually eat straws.

How was that Broccoli cheddar scramble? I might try that next cruise, also!

Which location did you find the HD poker chips?

I totally would’ve been Old Yeller on your Montego Bay tour. 😉

 

I’m really enjoying your review. I’m not a beach person either, so it’s nice to see some alternative things to do at these ports.

It was the best thing I had. I ate all of that.

In Montego it was just down the street from Margaritaville.

[Saint Greg]

I boarded the tender/water shuttle at 10:08. I was the first person in the bottom level of the boat. We left at 10:21and arrived at 10:26. I was off the shuttle at 10:30. 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

The instructions said I was to meet the tour at Capt. Marvin’s at 10:45 which was basically across the street.

 

I went inside at 10:35 and gave my ticket to the girl. She had me sign a liability form and gave me a new ticket. She said Tim would be my driver and he would be calling for us at 10:50.

 

 

If you have to use the bathroom you can do so behind the building across the street.

 

I boarded the shuttle at 10:44 with seven other people.

 

We had a little delay because we had a couple people who boarded without going inside and getting their new ticket.

This is a public part of seven mile beach which is partially under construction.

I had that for the first time on the Vista. It was my favorite breakfast. Your’s looks like it was done a little different with more cheese—a good thing!

[Saint Greg]

I thought there was going to be more to the seven mile beach part than this but we didn’t even get out of the bus. At the end a few said they wanted to go to the beach. He dropped them off but they have to get a cab back. If I went I’d just be taking a few pictures and leaving. Maybe a drink at a beach bar.

We arrived at Hell at 11:10. We had 25 minutes. I only needed 5. But I guess they want you to have time to shop.

 

Hell was originally white limestone. You can see some white in some of the close rocks. 

 

Apparently the name came from some politician who was bird hunting there. He missed the bird and said “ah hell.”

11:40 we arrived at the turtle centre

 

Tim dropped us off and parked bus across street. Then came back with wristbands. Our time actually started at 11:47. We were to meet Tim out front at 12:30.
