A "Quieter" Carnival

Carnival season isn't over. On Grand Cayman it's just heating up. And what's cool about this island's carnival is that its timing (May 1-4) aligns with shoulder season in the Caribbean. Low rates, empty beaches and no threat of hurricanes. Even better, this island's Carnival isn't as intimidating or expensive as Trinidad's Carnival. To "jump up" on the streets of George Town and "thief a wine" is easy for everyone. Packages start $649. Click here to reserve your spot. Deadline to register is March 27.

P.S. If the site says a section is sold out, mentioning Islands means it isn't.
