NVM looks like they changed the rules... again.
I would never consider going there again. They burned that bridge a while ago.
Not that I've seen, just the write up from Grand Cayman Villas that was posted on TA.
Cayman Islands Reopening
The Cayman Islands will reopen for stay-over tourism on Nov. 20, 2021. Keep up with entry requirements and all the latest travel news.

The Cayman reopening website still lists "securely verifiable" Covid vaccination as part of their phase 4 plan; I didn't see anything about the CDC vaccine card.
But in other news, the CDC and the US State Department have now moved Cayman to a Level 4 Travel Advisory and they are telling travelers not to go there because of the recent surge in covid cases on GC:

Hi everyone,
Yesterday, Cayman Islands Government posted an update to their reopening website. The update was minor, and a link to a .pdf document which was a list of instructions on how vaccinated travelers may apply to Travel Cayman. You can read a summary of it on our border reopening page here:

Confusing and more confusinger. US in or out? Paper cards- good or not?

Herein lies the problem. This is a direct quote from the Cayman Compass:
Many other websites have posted something similar. You could imply this to mean that non securely verified vaccines would be accepted if the country of origin has a vaccination rate above 60%. And many have reported exactly this, including us. This was how it was represented. But obviously there's lots of room for interpretation in this statement.
So no one knows is my answer to this. All we can do is stay tuned until they gazette an amendment to the COVID control act.

They’re not helping their own cause. I can’t imagine anyone booking a flight given the uncertainty of the situation.
Though it was my most frequently visited and dived tropical destination, I’m in no rush to get back to Cayman given the uncertainty and lack of clarity around their re-opening plans.
Just got back from 10 days in Aruba (after a 10 day trip there in July) - perfect weather, great diving/snorkeling, beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants… and hassle-free entry and exit!
Although the underwater landscapes are not as dramatic as Cayman (no walls, crevices etc.,), I have to say that the coral reefs are FAR healthier and the quantity and diversity of marine life (except sharks) is FAR greater as well.
We have a rescheduled 2020 club trip to Sunset House on Grand Cayman in April - hopefully, they’ll have things sorted out by then! In the meantime, we’re heading back to Aruba in January!
