3 ships in Grand Turk?

[CruisingwithAutism]

We are sailing on the Sunshine during Thanksgiving this year and according to the Grand Turk cruise center's port schedule, we are one of three ships docked that day. We've been to GT before and thought the pier could only accommodate two ships?? Will the last to arrive have to be tendered?

Such a small island for that many passengers-we hope it won't feel too crowded.

Many times those Cruise Port Schedules are wrong.

We stopped at Grand Turk on a cruise this past March with two other ships. The last to arrive did in fact tender. The port was crazy busy with 3 ships there. Thankfully the third ship didn't come in for another hour or so, so we were able to get seats. Just be prepared for a busy port day, and hope you're the first ship to dock. Grand Turk is one of our favorite stops, so even with all the people we had a great time.

We are the last ship to dock. [emoji30] Thankfully, we did book a cabana at Margaritaville when it was available.

Where was the tender dock?

The 3rd ship tenders.

 

There is an additional Shore Excursion/(Tender Pier) 400 feet to the south of the main pier.

The pier is 200 feet long with five feet of water alongside.

Thanks! I remember that additional dock.

 

How far out and where did the other ship anchor for tendering? The "fairway" for Grand Turk -- the navigable approachway for deepwater vessels -- is pretty tricky.

I'll be there during that week on the 25th. It looks like the Victory will be there alone and we'll have the island all to ourselves :D
