Glad you did enjoy it.

Can you give us a little insight on why you gave Grand Turk 1 star? My son and I are planning to cruise on this ship with other family and friends to both ports for our 30th and 50th birthday and wanting as many reviews as we possibly can get before making a final decision.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Just curious, you say nice things about the cabin, but give it 1star, why? Hope you find a better fit for your cruising adventures.
