Review summary

The decor is outdated by a few decades, there was a sewage smell throughout the entire 2nd deck that never went away. Friendliest crew I have ever experienced anywhere at any time on any ship ever. Food was good, bed was comfortable. St. Kitts and St. Marten were wonderful, San Juan was just ok but don't even bother getting off the boat in grand Turk, otherwise referred to as grand turd by most. nothing to do, prices extremely high, horrible beach and rude people. Again Nicest staff ever experienced makes the cruise worth taking.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was clean and more spacious than expected, traveling with my wife and a 13 yr old son and 19 yr old daughter for 8 nights I thought we would be cramped in an inside cabin with no windows or balcony but it was actually very comfortable and spacious. My family always over pack yet we still can plenty of closet space.

Grand Turk has a lot of American history. Take a tour and find out about it.

I thought Grand Turk was awesome! One of our favorite ports. The beach to the left of the pier is not rocky. Plenty to do there. Magaritaville, shopping and Jack's Shack. We did the ATV's then went to Jack's Shack. Relaxed on the beach.

Grand Turk is a great stop for a beach or pool day.
