Review summary

Thoroughly enjoyed myself. My first time at Grand Turk and I wasn't disappointed.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Delayed getting on the ship due to Coast Guard inspections but otherwise easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Braised short ribs were yummy. (Main Dining) Also enjoyed the spaghetti carbonara. Tried Panna cotta for the first time. It was ok. As usual, Guy's Burgers were great

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Heru, our cabin steward was wonderful. Dining staff were very courteous, kind, and fairly quick. We had early (6 pm) dining.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The Freedom could use a bit of sprucing up but overall, we enjoyed her.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean and cozy.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

Pro tip: much clearer water at Jack's Shack rather than Margaritaville, which is directly off the ship. Just walk a bit further down the beach

Tied with Charleston for the easiest port to get on and off the ship.
