When the beach excursion we had originally wanted was sold out, we signed up for the Rum Point Beach Adventure and were so happy we got our 2nd choice instead! We took a catamaran to a little island off Grand Cayman and enjoyed a pristine, shallow beach and my favorite meal of the entire trip. This is where our daughters got their hair braided as a little break from playing in the gorgeous water or jumping off the pier. It was perfection and the boat ride back was amazing. Guests got to take turns sitting on the end of the boat. That kind of transportation is an adventure in and of itself. Back on the cruise ship, we watched the show Wishes and the kids liked it but Hubby and I felt like we were watching an hour long commercial for Disneyland.
We love Jamaica! The no problem attitude is perfect for people being somewhere new and trying new things. Swimming with a dolphin named Ziggy was such a surreal experience. N decided the water was too cold and opted to watch us from the dock instead of participating but the pictures they took of my family with such a wonderful creature were a must purchase! I wish I had brought more cash to tip because the man who had the parrots really tried to help us get a good family picture. We loved our animal interaction and then ate lunch before heading to the Dunn's River Falls. This was our favorite excursion. For about 45 minutes a guide helped us climb and play in a giant waterfall. Even though some of it certainly looked man made and there were a ton of people there, we had the best time. We would do that again in a heartbeat. On the 
home N said the river falls were her favorite part of the whole trip!
The hypnosis show was much more fun than I expected and it was really neat to dress up for pirate night. I was the only Wendy (from Peter Pan)that I saw and I got quite a few complements for being creative. We were just wearing leftover Halloween costumes. (: N really enjoyed the Mickey pirate show and that was her favorite show of the week. Sadly, we didn't get any family photos of the night because after all our adventures M and N fell asleep at the dinner table. Animator's Palate was all done up for the pirate theme as well and I swear the food is the best on pirate night. Since I got to watch the late night pirate/fireworks show on our last cruise, I stayed in the staterooms and got M and N in bed while Hubby, K and D went up to the deck to enjoy. I think it was really that day and night that made me decide I wanted to go on another Caribbean itinerary!
