Must See Port: Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is the largest of the chain of isles in the British West Indies, it's endless beach and more beach bars outnumbering the amount living here, it's a cruiser's dream destination.

Take part in swimming with Stingrays in Stingray Cove or grab a taxi to take you to Smith's Cove, an almost unntouched paradise that offers a few hours of solitude off board your ship.

Most beaches on Grand Cayman are either sponsored, where you pay a daily fee which rents an umbrella or table on the beach and gets you a waiter, or they're private beaches.

The pristine white sand on these beaches is what attracts most visitors but the shopping here is phenomenal. There's a main strip that boasts stores like International Diamond, Safi Kilima and upscale boutiques. If you're looking for a little more of the local flavor, just walk. There are small marketplaces off the main roads that are more open to negotiated prices and are much more authentic.

Haggle Tip: Always walk away to show you're serious. Come back after 15 minutes and try again. If they know that you're willing to walk away, they'll be more willing to lower their price.
