Disney Cruise: Grand Cayman

Our day in the Grand Cayman didn't go as planned.  We were planning on going snorkeling with the stingrays and starfish, but due to the high waves it got canceled.  So instead we went to Grand Caymans infamous 7 mile beach.  We were disappointed, but the beach was gorgeous and the waves really were huge so the kids had a blast playing in them.  Although a few times the waves got so big it scared this momma's heart!  



We did get some snorkeling gear for the boys to try.  I think we saw one fish.

Such a beautiful day!

this rooster just walking around like he owned the place, which to be fair he probably did.
see how big that wave is?  And this was later in the day, earlier the waves were way bigger! We really had a fun time.  The sand was amazing and the water picture perfect.  I personally preferred Grand Cayman over Cozumel. 
But really look at how blue that water is!  


That night was pirate night!! Everyone is encouraged to dress like a pirate, and the cruise even provides everyone with a pirate bandana.  The boys loved dressing up as a pirate.  Logan had so much fun that he has been a pirate for the last month and a half straight.  He would wear his bandana everyday to preschool.  Even now (2 months later) he sometimes gets mad at me if I don't call him Blackbeard (his pirate name).  It's pretty cute.


Family Game night!  Playing a pirate version of spin the wheel.
Dinner was once again at Animators Palate. Logan was loving his dinner! 😂 

This night we got to draw a cartoon character on our placemats and later that night they came alive up on the screen dancing with Mickey Mouse.  My cartoon is the purple on the far right.
After dinner we got to go on the top deck for the pirate show/fireworks. 






Disney is the only cruise line allowed to do fireworks!  As always Disney knows how to put on a good show!
Before we called it a night after a long day (except Carson who stayed up late playing at the tween club) I had to get a picture of all of us in our matching pirate costumes!
