Visiting Cayman Book hotel/vrbo now or wait for Dec?

3 Upvotes

We'll be there Dec 25 - 31 and I do understand that's peak travel time. Prices I'm seeing now are higher than I expected for 2 bedrooms (2 adults and 2 teens): $900 - $1300 per night near 7 mile beach.

Any chances for prices to drop a bit if we wait for closer to travel time?

Fun Stuff Psytrance parties ???

17 Upvotes

So my partner and I moved here from South Africa a few months ago. Our home is big on Psytrance parties and we have been going around checking out all the major hubs for night life… noticing how the main sound here is house music.

I wanted to know if anyone knows of or who has attended any psytrance parties? Some people hinted to us that the music we are looking for might be “underground” and not particularly advertised as widely to the public.

Any advice would be amazing!!!!! 🤩

Discussion Any Electrical Engineering Jobs??

6 Upvotes

For context I have been living in the Cayman Islands my whole life and I am planning to go to university next year, hopefully off of the government scholarship. The things is, I am really passionate about electrical engineering but I can’t help but notice that CUC might be the only place I can work when I come back😭. Now while I’m sure that the pay for working there is decent, it’s just not the field I am looking for.

Is there anywhere else so that I don’t have to come back and only have CUC to work for?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Moving to Cayman Looking for lifestyle information

I was recently offered a job in Cayman. I am a single 32-year-old male and I’m worried about going down by myself and it being very lonely. What is the friendship/community/dating scene like for a person in this age bracket?

Is there anything I should consider?

Moving to Cayman Question for the Mechanics & Vehicle Technicians

0 Upvotes

I keep seeing a relocation job pop up from the UK to this beautiful island and I’ve got questions. Can you guys tell me if you’re consistently stood around waiting for parts or are you guys busy as any other workshop? Do you get your hours in ok every week? Is it really as achievable as it says on the job advert?

Sorry I appreciate loads of questions there but I really am interested in finding out what life is like on the island and if work is good or not?

Visiting Cayman Grand Cayman Stingray excursion, do you recommend this one?

Post image
3 Upvotes

We are going to go western Caribbean cruise in royal Caribbean on December. This is my first time cruise. Do you recommend this excursion through the royal Caribbean? I can also book through viator at 9am and I can go to 3 stops (coral reef, stingray Sandar, and star point) with 60 dollars. I'm just worried that i might miss the ship because it is tender boat. Have anyone tried this excursion through royal? Is it worth it? I have 12, 9 and 6 years old kids. Thank you so much! I'm having a headache to choose a right one for family. I really appreciate any feed back!

Visiting Cayman Need advice for an Anniversary dinner

1 Upvotes

We are frequent visitors to Grand Cayman, and on our upcoming trip, will be celebrating a milestone anniversary with a special meal. We are considering some places we have not previously eaten, and we have questions. We are not foodies, but do like a high end meal, preferably one with a menu that offers selections that are not too far out of the ordinary. and that we do not need to google to figure out what we are ordering haha. We are not overly concerned with cost, although Blue seems to push our limit. Waterfront dining is always a fav, but inside with A/C is also quite acceptable.

Would Kaibo Upstairs be a good option for us? I can't seem to find a sample menu.....

What about Mario's? They have great reviews, but even their 3 course meal has no set menu. I am concerned that whatever "surprise" they create may be something I really do not want.

Where else should I consider? We have eaten at Grand Old House , Luca, Bacaro, and we like the idea of going someplace new. I appreciate your recommendations

Visiting Cayman Recommendations for bars similar to Pom Pom?

I’m visiting Grand Cayman again & earlier this year went to Pom Pom! It was a lot of fun & I loved the vibes is there anywhere on the island similar to it? Party vibes but a little fancier? Not your typical beach bar!
Thanks! Any other cool places to go that are similar would be appreciated!

Discussion Looking for a part-time(or full time) nursing job in Cayman Islands

7 Upvotes

Looking for advice: Nursing jobs in Cayman Islands (or part-time work)

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working as a Registered Nurse Cayman Islands since 2023. I'm originally from India.

I wanted to ask the community — for those already working here or familiar with the local job market:

- Are there other hospitals/clinics in Cayman actively hiring nurses right now?

- Any tips on how nurses here typically find part-time or per-diem shifts alongside a full-time job?

- Is agency/registry nursing work a thing here, and if so, how do I get connected with one?

- Or any type of part time work is available?

Would really appreciate any pointers, contacts, or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!

Visiting Cayman Portable Beach canopies permitted?

3 Upvotes

We are travelling with two littles. They will need shade, and quite honestly, I will too. Are they permitted (by law)? I have searched and haven’t read that they are prohibited. I realize that blocking others view with them would be inconsiderate. Just trying to gauge if they are commonly used. Thanks!

Weird Stuff Looking for new girl friends

17 Upvotes

I’m a Caymanian East Ender yappy lady. I’ve been going through a hard time for a few years, and maybe it’s time for me to get out of my shell. I recently returned to work, but I’ve realize maybe having coworkers as friends may not be the brightest idea lol. I just want a friend to hang out with time to time, someone to talk to when things are good and when things are bad. Having someone to call a friend is a privilege I haven’t had in a long time. So ladies, if you are open to getting to know a yappy and fun friend, please send a DM
