Cabin / Stateroom

Koko was the best. He always called me Ms Donna, and my husband was called Mr Rich. We had one problem with the bathroom. Koko fixed it right away.

Ship tip

BB King was the nicest place to go to dance. The music was always great.

Gail and John Eastman and me. Went up a Sky Tram. I really enjoyed it. What was the best was to see a ship dock. Plus, the view from the top was beautiful. I wish I brought my phone to take some of the pictures.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

We went to Grand Turk. My brother in law and sister. Took a vehicle to travel around the island. John could not follow directions. We were heading to the lighthouse. Never got there. We did see the part of the island that was very poor. I was very disappointed too. I was looking forward to seeing the lighthouse.
