Review summary

The cruise was great. Boarding and disembarking was made simple. The crew was extremely friendly. The food selections were good. There was a variety of events to attend on board and enjoying ourselves in port was made easy. My one complaint is guest services on the last day of the cruise. They need to add an additional guest services area or more staff to handle the long lines at the end of a cruise.

The History Behind the Walls Tour was great!!! The guide (Clemencia) was friendly and very informative. We did not want to leave the Island

Grand Turk Island

we had a great time on the Chukka tour. We were able to ride horse back, zip line and drive ATVs. The island just looks so poor. We were depressed for the people who live there. Great Britain should be ashamed to have one of its territories in such poor condition.

@davelep The Cruise Director was fun, but arrogant. He also intentiinally held a clue, for The Clue game, until the end of the morning show. This was after he confirmed that all the people at the morning show were only there for the clue. So he stated he was purposely going to hold the clue until the end. He forced gifts to stay in a show they didn't want to be in causing them to miss other activities they did want to participate in. It's not the end of the world I just thought it was rude.

 

Grand Turk island is fun from a tourist standpoint. However the British should be ashamed of themselves. It is one of their territories and it looks horrible in the areas where the people live. If you take a tour of the island, you will see what I am saying. It used to be a military area, much of the housing or buildings that remain are barracks. They haven't been restored. There is standing water in a lot of places on the island. I can only imagine what type of germs are lingering in that area. Also the community college is completely run down and there are donkeys inside it. I was just a bit disturbed by the way the people have to live. If you stay around the cruise port area or the beach area you will be fine. To their credit I did have one of my best excursions there.
