Grand Turk Island Port Reviews

I think Grand Turk has been our favorite port so far on the cruises we’ve been on. Enjoyed a day in a beach chair with a bucket of local beer, conch fritters at Jacks Shack looking at crystal clear waters. Honestly nothing has compared to that!!! Wishing I was there now!!

We had a fun experience at this port. Well organized. Beautiful water. They had a fun area filled of shops and some great NASA history as well. Fun photo opportunities too.

I loved our excursion that we did with the stingrays, but there seemed to be too many people so it was hard to snorkle and not have other people right near you bumping into you (and pushing you near the sharp coral) unintentionally. Didn't care for the snorkeling part, but the stingray part was very nice.

This place was amazing. Got here on the Carnival Vista and did the Reef and Rays excursion. Which was beautiful. The water was clear and you could see everything. We did a little snorkeling first and then they took us to the Sting Ray Playground where we each got to hold and take pictures with them. Pretty cool stuff. We also went to Jack's Shack and met the famous dog Topher! My wife got the jerk chicken platter and I got the fish platter. The food was decent. I can't wait to go back there to see else the island has to offer.

It was okay. The water had alot of sharp rocks and I didn't have on deck shoes but the scenery was very pretty. I love the beach. I wouldn't choose this island again though.

Chukka tours swim with stingrays and snorkel excursion is AWESOME!!!! Don't miss it. And swim the crowded beach left of the pier as you disembark, the one to the right is less crowded but unless you like walking on rocks, its not good past the water line,

Great port! Walk down the beach to Jack’s Shack! Just look for Topher the dog. It’s quiet, beach has no rocks, and good food and drinks. Can’t be beat!

This was my least favorite of the ports. The beach was filled with seaweed. I’m from California so I’m used to seaweed, but this was on a whole different level. I’m talking tons of seaweed! Also, make sure you wear some sort of beach shoes because the floor is rocky. I guess that makes it good for snorkeling, but that’s not my thing. I went to Joe’s Shack and the service was absolutely terrible. I felt like we were being ignored. After about 10 minutes of waiting to get our ordered taken, we just picked up and walked away. I guess the place to go is Margaritaville, but what’s the point of getting off a ship to spend time at a restaurant with a pool? Maybe this place is great for planned excursions, but from what I saw, it left a lot to be desired.

Didn’t take an excursion. We visited last year. But liked the port very much.
