Minutes in I'm, sure I'll take us another 35, and. That's to get really close to it but you. Know when you're walking along, this, beautiful. Beach. It. Doesn't really matter, I. Think, we might have to cut somewhere, here says. No road access private, property. So. We might have to, exit. Onto the actual road now yeah okay. Path. To the road we go by, ocean yeah, just uh, try. And cut through, one. Of these resorts, and, out into the street. Hopefully. It's safe right. Well, find out should, be all right. Never. Cool.

Of it. Yeah. We. Made it. We. Are now in the shops again and let's see how long it took us an, hour and 15, minutes this. Isn't, all. The, stuff here when, I just go back now I'm, ready you are yeah I'm ready to some that is it yeah we're, going. Back to the ship. Just. A nice, day here in the grand Caymans, we. Enjoyed. It very much I love our. Trip. To, go see the stingrays, and. Her, little you know just, relaxing. Lunch. Hey. Now it's time for us to, say, goodbye to. All Cayman. Family.

Hi Phoebe! Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet message! That means a lot to us! We're also huge Disney fans and we're so grateful we get to share our adventures! So happy to have you come along with us!
I really enjoyed your visit with the stingrays what fun. And lunch at the hotel by the ocean how relaxing. I am so enjoying your Disney Cruise vlogs. Went on my first Disney Cruise last year and did my second one this past March. I am now planning my Christmas cruise for this November the Disney Dream can’t wait.
Betty Sierra thank you so much! It was a brilliant day overall - a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation :) Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I hope our videos are getting you excited for your upcoming Christmas cruise! That will soon come around! You’ll be working your way up to Gold Castaway Club status in no time
So amazing! Did you film the sting rays with go pros? If so which ones? I’ve just brought my first, its a hero 5. X
Never Never Growing Up perfect thank you x
Hi Hannah! We filmed with one GoPro - ours is an older model, we have the Hero 3 - and also took one of our iPhone X's in to the water which I think took some good quality footage and gave a pretty good depiction of the colors and clarity of the water! The weather did dictate that the water was choppy that day, it was difficult to stay standing still on the sand bar. However we didn't feel it at all on the boat, it was a smooth ride! :) -K
Also is it choppy? That’s the only thing that puts me off as I suffer from sea sickness occasionally on ferry’s.. lol
We visited Grand Cayman when we worked on cruise ships, we never mustered up the courage to do the stingray trip. However after watching this, I reckon we should have took the plunge. Awesome video
Right! Must’ve been very hard work! We really respect all cruise employees do to make sure people have a great vacation! And thank you, new vlog on Sunday :)
No we worked for Thomson, now TUI. But a lot of the ships have similar excursions
Oh nice! Were you working on Disney cruise Line? Aww hopefully you get a chance to go back as a passenger if you haven’t had enough of it! It was a lot of fun! And thank you!!!
This is something we are thinking of doing at Castaway Cay when we go in December! It looks so cool
For Love of the Mouse we would definitely recommend it, it’s such a fun experience!
We did the Stingray Adventure at Castaway Cay last summer and loved it! One of the rays had a wingspan as long as I am tall (5'4). Amazing. We liked Grand Cayman too. We did a tour of the island and then got on a boat and learned all about mangroves. I didn't really understand that that's what we'd be doing when I booked the tour but it turns out mangroves are incredible!! Glad you had a good time!
autumnmobile firstly, that is a HUGE stingray! Second, we’re the same height! Glad you too enjoyed it, they really are magical creatures!!!
Thank you so much for this nice video! What time was your ship in port there? We are going there on Fantasy in October and are a little worried our day there will be short and your video confirmed that Fantasy was late... I booked a separate excursion from the ship to Stingrays because the outside company offers an extra snorkeling stop but am a little worried about making it back to boat now. Your Ritz Carlton lunch tip and making it back along the beach was very very helpful. Very nice to get the bearings from 7 mile beach back to the dock! :)
thank you so much for watching! We docked very early. I think we met our group for our excursion around 7.30am or so. I’m sure you can work with your excursion tour company to come up with a plan should you be late. So much depends on the sea conditions because you have to tender to the port. Glad it was helpful! It’s definitely doable but one heck of a walk lol.
On our cruise on the Fantasy in October we are going to Grand Cayman! Did you get some sort of daypass to the Ritz? How did that work? :) any tips would be greatly appreciated! (@winniethekarabear)
Kara McComb awesome! We didn’t purchase a day pass, we just walked in and went directly to the restaurant we went too for lunch :) It was such a relaxing spot, we’d definitely recommend! Though maybe have a bit of a walk on the beach then catch a taxi back to the beach lol. Any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask! ☺️
Grand Cayman looks absolutely breathtaking. (Also, you get a like JUST for singing Queen on the boat)
Matthew Calmert we’re so glad we got to experience it, would love to go again some time and see some other parts of the island! And thanks haha, gotta make your own party you know
What a great vlog! My parents and I are headed here for Christmas on a Disney Cruise this year and was wondering what might be fun to do. Glad to see you had enough time for the stingray and then some relax time. Anywhere else besides Ritz you would recommend that you maybe looked at too?
Chris Kidder aww thanks so much! That’s so exciting! I’ve no doubt you’ll have an excellent time! We picked these things out quite quickly but I know a lot of people like to do the Royal Palms - you can get a day pass I believe for beach access and food and drink if you were looking for something like that. We opted to venture a little further out and to the Ritz thinking it would be quieter (it was significantly) but it really depends on what you’re interested in doing! GC is known for the stingray excursions :)
Hey I just started watching y’alls videos and y’all are so cute and sweet:) I am a huge disney fan and I love y’alls Disney trips and all of your Disney tips videos! ✌
