hi im going on a western Caribbean cruise in January to princess keys(*Bahamas )which is an advanced snorkel did this in the past alot of fun,then the diving starts at Turks and cacaos,then on to grand caymens and then finally Cozumel all 3 are animal planet endorsed whatever that means .anyone ever do these dives and if yes what did they think about it thanks
 
The cruise port is on Grand Turk. A 10 min. boat ride to the "Wall" so that could be a really good dive. Grand Turk is pretty small also so you probably can see a lot of it even after diving if you're in port for most of the day. We dove T/C for a week and the best of it was what came up the walls. I believe Oasis Divers does those. Cruise Ship Guests Grand Turk Island, Oasis Divers, Grand Turk, Grand Turk beaches | Oasis Divers

Grand Cayman is also very good diving and can even be better if you go outside the cruise operation (Don Foster's) and book yourself with a smaller operator. Check with Wall to Wall, Off the Wall, Deep Blue or Divers Down - all located in Georgetown as well. WtoW would be my choice if they can accommodate you - they only go with 8 divers max per boat. They all know the cruise ship schedules and since the port and all the operations are based in Georgetown, pick one you like. OTW gets good recommendations here also for being cruise-friendly if your time into port is later.

Don't know Coz...

On a similar itinerary to above years ago, instead of finishing the cruise back to Miami, I elected to disembark at Cozumel and dive there an additional week before flying back home to Los Angeles. If it's do-able in the travel budget (and if Princess Cruises still allows disembarkation other than return to home port), consider spending the remainder of the vacation with an additional dive day in Cozumel instead of being ship-bound-at-sea.

Stayed at the two-star but convenient Hotel Barracuda and used Dive Paradise dive-operation, all just south within walking distance of the Princess Cruise Terminal (Punta Langosta Pier) at the time. . .
