- Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
- Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
- Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
- Cayman Islands ↗The Cayman Islands set their own entry rules as a British Overseas Territory; check official Cayman Islands government sources for your passport.
- Cayman Islands ↗Marine parks are enforced: do not take coral, shells or fish, and follow the rules at Stingray City.
- Cayman Islands ↗Drug laws are strict, including for cannabis; do not carry any.
Grand Cayman works from one base. George Town is a small harbour capital and takes half a day; the rest is beach, a boat day and one drive to the East End. Weather and the hurricane season decide the dates, so book flexible fares and keep the beach room.
