Review summary

Not as good as others we took. First 2 nights of anytime dinning waitstaff was very bad. 3rd night we were seated in Lesther's section and it was wonderful. We asked for his section after that. Ports were nice except for Grand Turk. There was so much confusion about the chairs on the beach and so much arguing and cursing we just went back to the ship.  Guess we will have to book an excursion next year when in Grand Turk. The casino needs another 3 card poker table.  It was always full with people waiting to play.  Overall we had a good time.

I agree on the casino. It was crowded every night.

Normally it is not such a hassle. We love Grand Turk! Sorry you had a bad experience. Hopefully next time will be better.

Grand turk..Chairs are free. Umbrellas extra. If they give you a hard time next time, stand your ground. Sorry that happened, it is a wonderful easy, beach stop normally.
