Caymans and prices

I can't believe a 6 pack of beer is $10!!!! I know the Caymans have stingray beer is that any cheaper. Just wondering what my husband will do at the beach--He has to have beer...are there any cheaper beers? I can't picture my self carrying a couple of cases of beer on the plane. My husband was wondering about buying a Keg to last us 9 days. Any info appreciated<BR><BR>Leaving in less than 3 days. Hoping those storms blow away and we have a nice visit. <BR><BR>Also wondering, Is Cayman rum resonable if so does anyone know how much?<BR>

Um, I hope to not offend you, but you have (unwittingly???) chosen one of THE most expensive Caribbean destinations possible.<BR>Just to warn you, if you are worried about a six pack setting you back $10 and the price of rum, you are going to shriek when you see the prices for food and everything else in the Caymans.<BR>Better arrange with your bank for a transfer from savings before you leave, or let your credit card company know what is coming.

Suzanne,<BR>Go to Big Daddy's Liquor store, it's next to Foster's Grocery by the airport. You can get a case of beer there for around $30 US. We have tried Stingray beer, and it's a bit cheaper, but it awful, IMO!!! They usually only rent kegs out for parties, I know because I have tried also. Cayman rum is very cheap. I think Tortuga Rum is like $8.00 fifth. Have a great trip, and don't let the prices scare you!! It's worth it!!!<BR>Sandy

Try some Cuban rum - we really enjoy it.

I have checked the food prices and can deal with that. I guess the problem is we drink more than we eat! : )

The prices in the Caymans are very high. I bought beer, 2 six packs budlight and 1 six pack coorslight and Big Daddy's liquor store next Fosters at the airport and it cost $27US. At night I like to drink vodka martinis and they cost $9US. Just be prepared when you go to the Caymans to spend money and you will have a blast!!!! Remember looking at the prices on the caymansrestaurant.com website, the prices are in CI.

We've packed a case of beer in a hard sided suit case on several trips, never had a problem with it leaking. That also leaves us extra room on the way home, making packing and purchases easier to pack. Not so bad and worth the effort. I did not care for stingray beer and could not find any specials, no happy hours. You'll love Cayman, I do!
