The Caribbean's "Newest" Port

Feb 17 -There's about to be a "new" port opening in the Caribbean. Actually, cruise ships have been calling at Grand Turk for years, but not in wholesale numbers. There hasn't been a dock or deepwater port that could handle modern cruise ships, so all but a few have passed by the port. But over the last couple of years, Carnival Corp has invested millions of dollars in developing a new state-of-the-art facility with two berths where two post-Panamax ships, even as large as Queen Mary 2 can dock at the same time.

The new facility will open next Saturday (February 25) when the first Carnival Corp ship (Holland America's Noordam) docks at the new pier, and opens the quiet little island with the pristine waters to thousands of new visitors.

Wow! That will be wonderful for them. Maybe I'll get to try it out one of these days.

Thank you PatVal for the information on the new port. We are scheduled for the Noordam in April and looking forward to the new port and new ship.:)

I can't wait till there are some reviews of this new port. We are looking forward to stopping there on our Carnival cruise. Not to mention Half Moon Cay also. It is those two ports that sold the specific cruise to us.
