We have cruised the Caribbean many times (about 15) and prefer those cruises leaving from San Juan and going south from there, but the Princess ship and service made up for some of the lack of wonder in the ports. Our ship was the Ruby Princess - A very nice ship indeed.

You have to tender in Grand Cayman & I dislike tendering. With only one stop you might want to get an excursion lined up ASAP because they'll likely fill up early since people won't have island choices with their excursions. The port shopping is nothing special. If this were my cruise I'd have a dive already booked.

Last time we were there (2011) we just grabbed a taxi out to 7 Mile Beach and relaxed. I would like to go someplace for some good snorkeling. We usually try to stay back and wait for the crowd to disperse when we have to be tendered into a port.

I am thinking early Oct. another 7 day trip for me, thinking I take the east loop this time, hurricane season draws down for the most part and the temps still nice and warm, although Sept. last year was fine.
