Grand Turk Island Port Reviews

No need to leave the port. Great beach right in the shadow of the ship. Clear, calm and shallow water. great for snorkeling. Buy a snorkel from Amazon before you leave home as they are expensive to buy (or hire) on location.

Great day on the island beach, Jack's Shack and Margaritaville

My most favorite port of the 3. I look forward to visiting Turks. I hang out right in the port at the huge pool party. The DJ is everything. She’s been great for all the years I’ve been visiting Turks. She’s hilarious, too.

Had a great time here! Not as nice as Half Moon Cay but it is in my top favorite beaches. We love how you can walk off the ship and it’s all right there.

t’s a great place to do nothing and just go with the flow. It’s so gorgeous here. Most people think Half Moon Cay has the most beautiful water and i get that, but Grand Turk is the most beautiful to me. I could just stare at the beach all day. Aside from being mesmerized by the ocean, we went to Margaritaville and then shopped around for some souvenirs. (This Review is for last year’s cruise)

The beaches were beautiful!!! The snorkel and stingray tour was great. The entire staff on the snorkel boat was outstanding and accommodating. They were very courteous to all of us on the tour.

Had a great time on the island. We spent the day lounging at the beach by the ship. The chairs were adequate, and the water felt great. There are a lot of large rocks in the water, so watch your step. The restaurants at the base of the pier were pretty decent.

It should be taking out of the tours.

I was not impressed with the excursion that we did at this port at all. We did the Reef & Rays by Chukka. We were choose to leave for the excursion to bring at 10:15 and we didn't even board the boat until 11:15. The first group that was late getting to port, got their full experience and we did not. Once we finally got on the boat and to the reef, over an hour late, another Chukka boat was in the spot that we were suppose to need in. The captain's of the two Chukka boat yelled and fussed back and forth. We were sitting on the boat another hour before we ever got to get into the water because they couldn't find a spot to anchor down. So now we are over two hours behind. We're only got to snorkel on the reef maybe 10 minutes. We were then carted away to the sting rays. We did not even have enough time in the water for all of the kids to touch the stingrays like we were suppose to. When going to Carnival about this, they said ott was the Carnival Vista's fault for docking late. They were unwilling to do anything to compensate for our wasted money and lost time. I will never purchase an excursion through them again because they do not back what they sell. That is if I even sail with Carnival again.
