Patti catches me hanging out by the pool….. The pool and pool area are still not crowded at all….. Patti heads inside of Margaritaville….. To be continued……

Now that's funny! Wish I knew what I was running for though. Thanks for joining the fun and providing us with a laugh!

Hey Greg! You know that I'm along for the ride. Should be a great time. I would be watching the game on the Lido!

She'll be Ol' Stubby until October. 😀 No they do not. 😎

It's been BOGO for many years prior to the pandemic. 😎

Yes there are, and plenty of them! There was at least one dog hanging around. We also came here on the Spirit leg of our S2S cruises, so more pictures to come!

Wow, they've come a long way in two months then. They are still working on the gift shop and bathrooms. If you are fairly able bodied, then about 20 minutes.

We spent the day at Jack's on the Spirit leg of our S2S. Don't want to give away any details now, but be sure to read it when I post it.

The food still looks and smells very good….. This is the water in front of Jack’s Shack. The beach is not rocky at all….. Here are a couple of views of the Freedom from Jack’s Shack….. Patti makes her way back to the Grand Turk Cruise Center and Margaritaville….. Here is the office for the Flowrider. It is not in operation today….. To be continued…..

Patti has reached Jack’s Shack….. The place has really been upgraded since the last time we were here. Jack and Janet have retired back to Canada, but the new owners appear to be doing a great job….. To be continued…..

It wasn't that bad this time. Probably because we were the only ship in port today.

Our server today is Stephanie, and she has already delivered a bucket of Turks Head Lager for me and two bottles of water for Patti….. I’m basically set for the day. I’ll take a swim in the ocean, and then hang out in the pool. Patti heads for the beach. She’s going to take a walk over to Jack’s Shack….. To be continued…..

Patti knows exactly where to find me. We call our Cabana # 9 our Grand Turk vacation home! Here are some inside views of our cabana….. Here are our views from the porch of our cabana….. There is a shower right by our cabana….. To be continued…..

Patti gets these pictures of a nearly empty Margaritaville pool area….. To be continued…..

Here’s another view of the Carnival Freedom docked in Grand Turk. We will be the only ship in port today….. Remember those pesky chair and umbrella vendors that used to clog up the beach in front of Margaritaville? They have been moved down the beach…… This is what the beach in front of Margaritaville looks like now….. I immediately head over to Margaritaville to check in for our cabana. Patti hangs around the Plaza for a bit before heading to Margaritaville….. These are the restrooms by the pool area….. To be continued…..

The Freedom approaches the dock at Grand Turk. There is still a section of the dock missing from the last hurricane….. These dock workers will help get the Freedom tied up….. We are docked by 7:45am. We leave the ship just after 8. Only the forward gangway is in use because of the missing section of the pier. Here are a couple of views of the Freedom….. To be continued……

Day # 7 - (January 10th) - Grand Turk (8am – 4pm). We were up 6am to another beautiful day. The seas are calm as the Freedom heads to Grand Turk. Here are the views from our balcony….. We are treated to a beautiful sunrise….. Here are today’s “Fun Times”….. To be continued…..

Thanks for following along! Grand Turk will be going up next! Thanks Barb!!

Probably pandemic related. 😎

After we got showered and changed, we made our way to the Victoriana Theater for Deal or No Deal….. We bought three cards for $50. I really want to get back on stage and redeem myself. Tonight, Comedy Club Host Marcela is going to host the show. I guess she is being groomed to be a Cruise Director. She did a great job….. I wasn’t chosen for either game, but Addison here wound up with $100…. Here is the final Audience Board. Patti’s card won a bingo package….. We were hungry so we decided to head up to the Lido. Patti had a Southwest wrap from the Deli and made herself a salad….. I started with a meatball sandwich and fries from the Deli, but I was still hungry, so I grabbed some fried chicken and rice from the buffet….. Afterwards, Patti was tired from all the walking she did today and went back to the cabin. I went to the Alchemy Bar to hang out with Zora for a couple of hours before calling it a night. Here is tonight’s towel animal….. Coming up next: Another day, another cabana!!!

The Carnival Horizon departed Amber Cove about an hour before we did….. To be continued…….
