We cruise in February on the 7 night Western. This is our first cruise and my kids (DD6, DD11, DD13) do not know this yet. :secret: We are going to surprise them the day before we leave on the cruise (we will be at WDW).
DH and I are trying to decide on our excursions and I am finding it difficult without getting any input from the kids. We are going to do Key West on our own and in Cozumel we are doing the Xcaret excursion.
I am having trouble deciding on what to do in Grand Cayman. We have thought about renting a car and tooling around on our own but decided not to try this on our first cruise. I think we are leaning toward the Stingray City snorkeling but I am worried about what the kids will think. They all love to snorkel but I do not want them to be afraid of the stingrays.
A friend of mine went on a different cruiseline and said they did an excursion called a Sea Spy. She described it as a motorized paddleboat that you lay on on your belly. It has a glass viewing window and you can motor around looking at the fish. I think DD6 would love this since she cannot get the hang of breathing through the snorkel. She just holds her breath and goes under water with her mask. :) I love the sound of this Sea Spy but do not know where to find this. Anyone ever heard of it????
I would love to hear of your excursions in GC and what you liked and did not like.
