Not sure where everyone is located but when I fly to cozumel I go through worryfreevacations.com. Super cheap round trip to cozumel and other Caribbean destinations.

Exactly. Flying from Chicago to Miami isn't much cheaper than just going direct to Coz. Or the Bahamas, etc.
 
Grand cayman is awesome. I was there for a week this summer. Pricey but worth it.

Eden rock is the trampoline in water spot, right by the ships. nice snorkelling.

The grand marriott has artificail reef balls in ther water. we stayed there and snorkelled allday long. it's on 7 mile beach. i saw octopus, barracuda, and a million other things there.

Cemetary beach is also worth visiting.
swimming/snorkelling on the stingray trip w marvins was the best.

How long u going to b on cayman?
 
Cayman is cool, everything was more expensive then Cozumel and seemed a bit more commercialized. Even a hamburger at McDonalds was around 10 bucks US. It was a neat place but I feel there is better diving in the Cozumel area.

Roatan Honduras is really cool as well, but its pretty expensive to fly there.
 
The diving in Cayman is very different than Cozumel. Wall diving vs. drift diving, and different reef structure as well. Both are excellent places to dive. The economy in Cayman is much stronger than Cozumel, so yes things are more expensive there. For not much more than that $10 big mac, you can eat real local food, so no need to pay for fast food ;) The problem with going to these places on a cruise is that you just don't have the time to see the best of either one. The advantage is lots of drinking in between ports without having to drive :D
