Year 4, Day 182, “Living the Dream”. Tuesday, 10/29/2024. Clifty Hill 2 – Day 5 of 16-night KY to New Orleans and Day 4 of 14-night New Orleans Carribean cruise on Brilliance of the Seas. George Town, Grand Cayman today.
This a tender port. Tender tickets were given out yesterday morning and we failed to get tickets. It is cloudy as we pull into port at 7:15am next to the Celebrity Beyond.
Here are some other visits to George Town. 1) https://deestimes.com/2020/02/29/george-town-grand-cayman/ 2) 5/10/2022 – https://deestimes.com/…/14/living-the-dream-year-2-day-10/ 3) 4/23/2023 – https://deestimes.com/…/living-the-dream-year-2-day…/ Sitting this morning Steve says “Look there’s the garbage dump”. Me “How do you know?”. Yup it is the garbage dump. The locals call it Mount Trashmore. We have a great view of Mount Trashmore from the ship. It sits 80 feet high in the middle of George Town district. Most people think they’re looking at a hill. This hill of garbage receives between 320 and 350 tons of rubbish a day. An examination process is currently underway about the 68-acre George Town site. The examination aims to determine what remediation work is needed to make the area environmentally safe. The waste mound at George Town Landfill is mostly uncovered. There is no liner beneath the waste. There is no leachate collection or treatment. The area lacks storm water management. There is also no landfill gas management.
Look at the under construction Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Residences. The condos are priced from $1M to $10M. It is amazing that 80% of the residences are already sold. This will be the first Grand Cayman 5 Star International Resort, since the Ritz-Carlton was built over 15 years ago.
Here is a detailed video of our balcony stateroom 9536.
We took the tender into George Town, walked around with the chickens, and took the tender back.
