This is smaller than other ports and rightfully so. There's multiple water taxis dropping off and picking up passengers. It's extremely hard to get on the wrong ship when leaving the port since there are multiple signs and they check your ship ID card multiple times. The port has a good number of shops and eateries. There's a designated spot for pre-booked excursions, but there's also folks offering tours and such at the port. If you choose to go off on your own, be prepared to show your cruise ID to get back inside the port... even when leaving the shops. Since a few of the shops have street access, there's security at the store exits to ensure you're on a cruise. So have your ID ready. Lastly, there's a great spot to get a picture of the ship behind you before getting back on the taxi.

This may be a small port where the ships can't sick they have to anchor out a few hundred yards out and "tender" you to the port which means shuttle you by either several large pontoon boats or lower a couple of the life boats down and use them. I don't like that because it takes FOREVER due to the fact only a couple hundred ppl at a time can go and when you have several thousands of ppl trying to get there and get back, this time it took us 3 hours of standing in line to get back to the ship. With that said, it is worth the wait, George town and all of grand cayman island is AMAZING place, beautiful, lots of shops, nice ppl; I have been 5 or 6 times.

Getting off Celebrity Cruise Apex to see the town, I was disappointed in the Port. I didn’t expect much but I was still disappointed. I’m sure the rest of Grand Cayman is beautiful but the port is just tourist gift shops and restaurants. Everyone was nice but the shop workers kept pushing each store you walked past. Once outside the main port, it doesn’t get much better. The sidewalks are not really wheelchair friendly with heavy traffic going by. The water looks beautiful and you could get to a small sandy beach to walk into the water just outside the port security area. The bottom line is, take an excursion or stay on the ship.

Tender port so if you want to get to Cayman early, go with ship shopping tour. Back to back tenders but takes a long time to carry 2500 people ashore. No beach near port. Nice town area near port, and across from Parliament building one block up is informative monument area. There is a shopping plaza called The Island Plaza with free Wi-Fi wo signing up or purchase requirement. Also stores there have better prices than many other stores in area. Directions- at road in front of Port (Church Rd), cross street and turn right. 300 block of Church St.

We arrived at Georgetown port from our Disney cruise line in April. The weather was fantastic, very sunny. Make sure to wear lots of sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. Surprisingly the water is crystal clear at the port. bring your swimsuit, you can actually go swimming in this tiny public beach and there’s a couple of Snorkel spots walking distance from the port. The local dive shop allow port visitors to jump into the waters. I included some of the photos I took of maps and pricing of port adventures at the local area.

Fell in love with this island. We were only at Port for a few hours but wish we could have stayed for longer. We did a small tour of the island and did a few stops. Walking around close to port we felt safe and the crossing guard was fun. There was a small beach close to port that we got to see some big fish, a crab that scared my cousin, and swim in the beautiful water. There is a crab hidden in one of the photos, blends in super well with its surroundings.
