Review summary

I loved the Grand Cayman Island port.  We went to the Royal Palms Resort and spent the day on the beach and by the swim-up-bar at the pool.  This port was one of my favorites so far.  The waters and beach were so beautiful.  Also, returned to Cozumel Mexico and hung out at Poncho's restaurant there at port and enjoyed the amazing food and hospitality.  This is testament that you do not necessarily have to spend a lot of money on excursions to have a relaxing and great time at port.  The Carnival Dream ship was very nice and although it was larger than the one we went on last year, the Carnival Triumph, it was laid out similar and was easy to find your way around.  The food was, of course, amazing and the staff were also amazing.  Can't wait for our 2018 cruise!!!

My tip would be to bring extra hangers. I packed 15 extra hangers and used them all. Although your steward would get you extra, I just found it easier to bring our plastic hangers. Our cabin was very clean and I do want to say the beds and pillows on the cruise ships are very, very comfy!!! Lucky, our steward was very accommodating and very sweet!

Ship tip

One tip I would share about the Carnival Dream is go to as many shows and events as you can and there are shows/events for all ages all day long. They are all so good and entertaining.

Thanks for sharing you Grand Cayman experience, we went there on our first cruise several years ago and I must have not picked the right excursion for me because that has been my least favorite port. Now I would like to go back and do something different.
