Cruise ships visit the Cayman Islands on a regular basis and the thousands of passengers they bring in every day are an important part of the islands' tourism product. However for residents lots of ships also means loads of traffic downtown. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could check how busy town was going to be? And if you’re in a rush, maybe you should avoid town entirely? There should be an app for that right? Yep, we thought so too! Check Avoid Town before you leave and don't get caught out again.
