floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #308 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Since SJ turned into a sea day...we were able to get to Grand Turk at 7am instead of 11am...and we had until 6pm here!! Grand Turk is a little-developed gem, and one of my favoritest places in the whole world...we were here in Oct 2008 on the Destiny, right after they were hit so badly by Ike....and I could not wait to get there and see how everyone was!! The sea here is the star, and as beautiful as it is all over the islands, it's outstanding here!! Look over the island and you can see the sea on the other side!! Carnival has built a tremendous Cruise Center here, crowned by the biggest Margaritaville in the Caribbean...it has some great shopping and such, but it's not where we were headed....those of us who made it up early were raring to go and we headed down the pier.....some of us slept in and would wander down later, because we all knew we were headed to the same place... Our destination was Jack's Shack, a beachfront bar on the back deck of a dive shop...if you look to the left of the pier as you get off, it's past the Carnival property, where the dive boats are up by the beach, just before the pier they are rebuilding from storm damage....

floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #309 Share Posted January 2, 2010 We headed through the shops to grab a taxi...a five minute ride...:o in deference to how much fun the party was last night:p It's a fairly easy walk up the beach on a good day, though getting back required a taxi last time, and we planned on that this time too, more on that later...:D I'm glad we saw some Christmas decorations here, I missed them not being up yet on the Dream... This is Vickie (lilmatcat), her sister Cairne, and one of our newest BFF's Debbie (blazers2), who we met on board this week, along with Big John and Sheryl, Eddie, Don, Glenn and Don, and many more....plus a reunion with many CC friends....what a great bunch! Debbie lives a half hour south of me!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #311 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Finally, finally, back at Jack's!! Jack's is run by Jack:p and his SO Janet, both ex-pats who ran for paradise....last time here, it was right after the storm, but their spirit is wonderful, and he was running on generators...we had the place to ourselves that time, and we told everyone we could about his place and how wonderful a day there is...and today CC ruled at Jack's....simply the best day!! We found LHP and David already at the party!! You can walk in the sea right off the beach and find these little guys buried in the sand with your feet...or if you're not into that, you can buy one of these for $5.

floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #312 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Oooh Jack's looked wonderful, he's added more tables, he's still grilling outside some yummy burgers and chicken, and there are loungers free....plus the dive shop is there so you can go out on a dive/snorkel, or rent a jet ski.... Or...you can hang out and drink Pink Flamingos, my personal favorite...:p Pretty soon more of the gang was arriving, great music, lots of laughs, and beaut of a day to be there!!! Here comes Jeffie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #313 Share Posted January 2, 2010 This is Topher, Jack and Janet's doggie, who was a puppy when we were here last, and he's still fascinated with the sandcrabs...and still carries his own leash around in his mouth, LMAO!! We watched some fresh kids showing off:p And then we got motivated to get in the water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #317 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Here's Jack saying hi to Freddy:cool: And here's Janet, who makes one yummo Pink Flamingo!!! If you go in the Dive Shop (where the restrooms are, so you will:p) check out Jack's t-shirts, they have awesome ones for $20 or $25, and you get a free drink with it...I bought three:D Drinks are $6, beers are what Jeffie? They try hard to keep prices down, and it's hard for them because they pay a lot to bring it to the island...they are way less than M'ville, in a much more "local homey" place!!! Pretty soon Jack was herding us up because our time was growing short and he was driving us back to the ship...this was one of the BEST parts of the day, LMAO!!! I have no great pics so I am going to FB to grab Smoofie's....thank you Smoof!!! This is a place, you go once, and you're at home...can't wait to get back again!!!

floatingaway2525 Posted January 2, 2010 Author #318 Share Posted January 2, 2010 OMG it was a fun ride back, and I sure wish we could have a pic of the folks watching us driving up to the port area in our chariot..like the peeps behind us in this van....LOL!!! It was fabulous to be there at sunset!!! But soon we were sailing away...dang it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket of six Corona's were $30..... As Floatie said it is very expensive to get things to Grand Turk. Jack and I talked about this the last time we were here and the tarrifs/import tax is a killer for the businesses..... As said though by Floatie it is much much cheaper than M-ville and it is a great place. the day we were there the Dream and the Costa Atlantica were in port. That is about 7000 passangers. Many of which were at the pier area and M-ville. Sorry, not my cup of tea...or in this case bottle of Corona..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
