Yup...and that's perfect! Let's say I'm well endowed enough to 'float'!!

HERE'S A LINK

Just click on any one of the small thumbnail size pics to see a bigger view of it.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to get my husband up here and go look!

You are more than welcome!
We have over 5,000 photos in our CLF Cruise Gallery - photos of ships, cruisers, ports of call, and excursions, as well as some of our cruising CLFers.

We will look forward to seeing pictures from your cruise when you return!

Just saw the pictures of Stingray city crowds - If I had seen this before we went I would not have gone, but we had no crowds around us, Yes there were other boats but quite a distance away, our group was small 8 of us (family) and 2 other couples. So our group had an area all to ourselves. We did see large groups off double decker boats across the other side of sand bar but not near enough to affect us. We had about 10 to 15 stingrays swimming around us and our guides held up 1 for kissing and 1 (male) to look at. Even our 10 & 11 year old loved it. Although the girl was scared at first.
I suggest you go with a small tour company like we did with Capt Bryan and you will have more personalized service.

Another great 'small boat' company is Nativeway Tours.
We used them and had a wonderful time... very small group, and he kept us away from the crowds, too.
Our guide was both informative AND entertaining... we laughed a lot. Very memorable times!

We were at GC last month and all I wanted to do was go to Hell and back and then get some Big Black Dick, told everyone so, too

They had a special, two bottles for $34.95, it's usually 24.95 each for any flavor. The BBD Rum Balls are 10 in a box for 8.99.

A little expensvie, but worth it to put it next to the Effen Vodka on the bar......

Craftinmom, re: Swim with the Sting Rays, don't worry about swimming and being shorter. Children do this tour; everyone can wear an inflatible vest, and the sand bar is shallow. I am not a strong swimmer and I highly recommend this tour also book it with a private company like Nativeway. They will often run the tour when the ship cancels their Swim tours. I would do their combination Swim with the Rays and Hell & Turtle Farm tour apx. $45pp. Although I enjoyed the Atlantis Sub and this is certainly the 2nd. best place in the world to do the dive (Barrier Reef in Australia @ #1) there is much more to see and enjoy at GC. This will give you a great day in port.

Shopping is limited IMHO at this port. Tortuga Rum Cake stores are a must though for rum & cake!
