In this video, it's time to explore another cruise port: George Town, Grand Cayman! I visited here on my first EVER cruise, and now it's time to come back and re-live some of the memories as part of my week-long cruise onboard Carnival Horizon.
During today, I'll be showing you how you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy this island - infact, we'll be spending a total of about $5 (USD) while ashore, so get ready for some money saving tips for your upcoming Caribbean adventures!
I'll be showing you Seven Mile Beach, one of the best beaches in the world, in addition to the downtown area. So, let's go - we've got a whole world to explore out there!
This is episode 3 from my time onboard Carnival Horizon - if you'd like to start from the beginning of this series, just click the link below to join me on embarkation day, back in Miami, in addition to Jamaica!

Awesome video! Glad you enjoyed my Island, you made the right choice taking the public bus and going to the quiet area of the beach. Enjoy the rest of your travels!

Thanks very much for watching, Rich - you call a gorgeous part of the world home!

Carnival has the best included food, the fresh pizza, guys burgers, the chicken shack, and guys BBQ free on sea days

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Oh, I’d probably agree - so much great food on there! Thanks for watching!!

@simonb7715 Месяц назад

Great video, very informative, those queues looked looked crazy, not experienced anything that bad however agree with your point about the cruise staff managing the lines and providing water and seat areas for those with walking differently. We've been to Grand Cayman 13 yrs ago and were fortunate enough to dock. Keep the videos coming.😊

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Ah, thanks for watching and commenting Simon. I also hadn’t seen lines like this before - hopefully never again, haha! Wow - I didn’t know you used to be able to dock at Cayman!

@robertabeyers3371 Месяц назад

Absolutely love Grand Cayman, one of my favorite stops cruising. Such a clean island and the people were absolutely amazing. We would like to fly back for a weeks stay. We also did an excursion there, we swam with the stingrays and it was also fun.

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Yeah, I do agree - I’d go and stay there no problem! Thanks a lot for watching, and for taking the time to comment!

Thank you so much for this informative video. My first cruise will include a stop in Grand Cayman. I was unsure as to what to do there, now im excited for it!😊

North beach is a local beach and so fun, my sister lived there 4 years. Loved loved it. Have a couple of eateries I go to by cab when we dock and the cabbies look at me like I’m crazy I convince them learned it from a local they like to keep their truely local that way😂❤. Oh take bus to closer to governors house nobody

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Ooh, nice! Care to share the name of your favourite? I’m sure people would love to know!

@lynnfranklin5098 Месяц назад

If you every land travel they have a fun pirate week in October and yes most fun and street parties are at dusk

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Oh, this is a cool tip - I had no idea - thanks for this!

Hi Fraser! Good video. I haven't tried Carnival but maybe I will give them a try next year.

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Hey Heather, thanks for watching. Great to see your name pop up!

@joanneyoung8571 Месяц назад

What a beach…. Utterly stunning. I couldn’t have coped with the crowded bit either. Oh and the sprinkles on the carpet??? lol!!!! That’s the sort of thing that I would do at least you picked them up…. Bet the cabin steward wishes there were more like you

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Haha, the sprinkles were so funny after - I couldn’t stop laughing when I was picking them up. Also yeah, this beach was amazing! Thanks for watching!!

@alexandrahall2012 Месяц назад

at least your wait for your burger was less than your wait to get back on the ship.

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Haha, this is so true 😂

@ducheau100 20 дней назад

I took the bus to cemetery beach which is on the far north end of 7 miles beach and walked back to the ship. It was almost 7 miles of walking in the sand, water and sun . There were not many people up there but I next time I would take a bus back. It was too far.

@FraserAtSea 20 дней назад

I’ve just had a look on google at that beach - wow - just gorgeous! I’ll bet you saw the sun that day - at least you walked off some cruise food, haha!!

@tammy_oh_nevermind Месяц назад

I always love how you just take off on foot when you get to a new port. 😂 Did you find out before where the busses left from? Heck of a price difference! I'm a researcher and watch a bunch of port videos and google stuff before I get there. I'd be way too stressed to just head out on a wing and a prayer. 🤣🤣🤣 Good video, thanks! (Forgot to mention...good job getting the sprinkles up😊)

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Oh, thanks a lot Tammy - I do love just throwing on my shoes and going for it, ha! Also, the sprinkles 🤦🏻‍♂️ I can confirm all got picked up individually by hand, haha!

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Also, re the bus - I saw on google that there was a station, so thought I’d give it a try. I’m glad I did!!

@sibyllecurcio6591 Месяц назад

You should wear a hat ,love your videos….love how you speak ❤

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Hey, thanks so much! I actually do wear hats, but take them off for filming as I don’t like how I look wearing one, ha! Don’t worry - try to keep myself protected from that sun! ☀️

@heatherhuggett5586 Месяц назад

I visited Grand Cayman 15 or so years ago on a Carnival cruise. The que to board a tender was just as ridiculous then. It was even worse because we were standing in line without any benefit of any shelter from the sun. I will stay on the ship next time, should I visit again.

@FraserAtSea Месяц назад

Oh wow - they’ve obviously learned and put the tents up - much better now! I’d have been so annoyed standing there in the sun, BAKING! Haha, thanks a lot for watching, and for taking the time to leave a comment!

@TWSmith42 25 дней назад

What do you do with your stuff when you go swimming? I expect the bad guys have figured out the "put-the-stuff-in-your-shoe-hidden-by-a-sock ploy."

@FraserAtSea 25 дней назад

Haha good question. There actually wasn’t anyone on this part of the beach - it was so quiet. If someone were to approach from the back of the beach, I’d have got to my stuff before them, even if they were running - I really wasn’t far away, and didn’t turn my back for even a second! Thanks a lot for watching!!

@jikjakjoyo 29 дней назад

Fraser what do you do with your camera and stuff when you’re at the beach and you go in the water? Thinking of the security angle?

@FraserAtSea 29 дней назад

Hey! Good question - I do leave it on the shore, but I basically just go in to paddle and back out - I’d never leave it for any longer than a minute or so, and would never do it if there were other people there. This was a really quiet beach part. Thanks for watching!
