Hey any advise on where to pick up a good meal or something to do after my snorkel trip ends at 12:30pm (island time I assume) and the ship leaves at 2
m (ship time). Any ideas?

Well, you won't have much time to do any additional activities, and be advised that restaurant food on Grand Cayman can get very pricey, even in casual restaurants. Local specialties tend to center around conch or turtle -- conch fritters, turtle soup, etc. I can't honestly recommend an eating spot. Not because there aren't any good ones, but because I haven't eaten there in more than a decade. (However, I was there last year. Just didn't eat there.)
Here are three quick options:
1. Roam around downtown Georgetown and stop in at whatever spot looks interesting. The funkier, the better, in my opinion.
2. If you're hankering for something a little more refined, hop a cab to the Grand Cayman Mariott resort for lunch on or near Seven-Mile Beach. The resort is 1.5 miles north of Georgetown. You could also try the Grand Cayman Hyatt. Both properties are nice, but bring $$.
3. Take a quick spin through downtown Georgetown (fairly typical Caribbean shopping fare) and return to the ship for what should be an unhurried and uncrowded meal that, let's face it, you've already paid for. ;-)
Enjoy, and safe travels.

We were in GC last June on the Carnival Conquest. We scheduled a trip with Captain Marvins. We met there at 8:30 A.M. and they had a tour van pick us up (party of 7) and took us to 7-mile beach, Hell and the turtle farm. Then they dropped us off at the dock for the 10:30 stingray and snorkeling tour. I believe this was about 2 hours. We had a little time to shop and stop at a restaurant. It was upstairs, across from the dock. I think the last tender was about 3:00 and we took this tender to the ship. It was a full day but we did everything! You may want to check with Captain Marvins. It isn't on their site, but I e-mailed them to ask if they knew of someone to take give a little tour and they arranged it.
