I just got back from a carribean cruise. A little rough sea, but the worst part was the surf at Grand Cayman. It took them an extra 4 hours to tender everyone back to the ship because of the waves breaking into the harbor and flooding the tenders.

I believe this is quite common at the Cayman port. I took a cruise a couple yrs ago which stopped at GC - due to the port situation (with the tenders), all ships arriving in the previous week had to cancel and detour. Thankfully we were not affected.

Gorgeous island, though. Would love to go back!

Yes it is common at Grand Cayman. Was tendered in to a small bay on the back of the Island a few years ago because the waves were too strong at the Georgetown port. Was not that bad but was a little crowded on the small pier because about 4-5 other ships were doing the same thing.
