A: boarding before 1 or 1:30 is a horrible way to start a vacation. cabins not ready, folks hoarding all the seats at any food venue just to pass the time so you can't find a place to sit and eat, everything closed, shops, casino... hard pass.
Answered by cbyron3 on December 14, 2024
A: Arrival time and boarding times are different. You can arrive for check in as early as 10:00 am, but you may need to wait to actually board the ship, which is after it has been cleared by customs, all prior passengers have disembarked and the crew... has gotten the ship ready for boarding. Boarding time is usually between 11 and noon.See More

A: Online check in time is for arrival at the terminal only. Boarding/embarkation time normally starts between 11:00 and 11:30 depending when the ship is ready to accept the new passengers. Remember, rooms are not ready until 1:30. Boarding pass ca... n be used to purchase drinks before sign and sail card is in hand. Do the muster drill as soon as you board. 5 minutes of your time.See More

A: You pick a boarding timeframe when you check in. Hopefully you already checked in. Earliest you can pick is 1030-11am I think. You can check in 2 weeks before your cruise

A: lido deck 11 it depends on which way you are standing on the ship bit I think it is port or on the left side. I could be wrong about the side, but it is in the general direction. I think deck 5 or 6 outside as well.

Q: are loungers and umbrellas available on the beach to the right of the cruise ship in grand turk? I've been to the left each time and of course they are available on that side

A: I’m sure they are but to be honest just walk ten minutes to the left and hang out at Jack’s Shack - great vibes, food and people! Also the chair/umbrella rentals are reasonable. Much better than right outside Margaritaville IMHO. Cheers 🍻
Answered by rockhound83 on August 18, 2024
A: yup, definitely the way to go. You can avoid Margaritaville...always a good thing.
Answered by cbyron3 on August 17, 2024
A: The Liquid Lounge is the theater at the front of the ship. The Limelight Lounge is the comedy club on Deck 4 Aft. I believe the Limelight Lounge becomes the night club after the last comedy show in that venue.
Answered by jeffreyschill on August 6, 2024
A: No. Room service is only provided from the standard galley. Outside of pizza it’s the only room service foods. Cocktails also cannot be delivered to the cabin.
Answered by Babsie1963 on July 13, 2024
A: If you need a jolt of caffeine before leaving the cabin, carafes of regular and decaf coffee can be ordered without fee (tip still expected) under the continental breakfast menu. You can bring powdered flavor creamer &/or ask for a fresh glass of ice... (your steward can bring an ice bucket daily) to make an ad hoc specialty coffee in the cabin.See More
Answered by maryred on July 13, 2024
A: As maryred said, continental room service menu is the way to go 👍

Answer QuestionA: We were there Feb 24 and they are doing construction around the parking area. If you're driving and parking at the port, give yourself extra time. It's pretty congested!

Answered by flparrothead on March 8, 2024

Answered by sopha on March 31, 2024
A: Prices reflect the current Market Value on embarkation day. In simplest terms is it varies sailing to sailing. What a previous sailing paid for a particular item could be more or less than what they charge by the day you set sail.
Answered by maryred on March 31, 2024
A: About $15 for lobster rolls. But well worth it. They are delicious.
