Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 16, 2023 Author #201 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I got the double cut lamb chops and Jerry got the rib eye. Both were very good, but I've had better lamb chops in Steakhouse before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 16, 2023 Author #203 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Grand Turk today. I made my way through the shopping gauntlet to the Carnival fun area with the pool, music, etc. Its still the same and I grew to prefer the chill vibe, reggae, etc. at Jack's Shack over the years so I had one drink and headed to Jack's. The beach right by the pier still has the toe-buster rocks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 16, 2023 Author #204 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Sorry about the upside-down ships pic. On to Jack's Shack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 16, 2023 Author #205 Share Posted November 16, 2023 First thing I noticed was the beach remains superior for swimming. Less congested too. It think you can see the mass of humanity down by the pier if you zoom in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 16, 2023 Author #206 Share Posted November 16, 2023 They have flipped the bar from near the food-ordering stand to the opposite side. More bar space, less sit-down table service. The sweet smell of sense is no longer in the air and the crowd is alot less chill. Reggae has been replaced with up-tempo caribbean house music. Volleyball court flipped to the other side and you can no longer play competitive volleyball because the chairs and tables go right up to the court line. Overall, Jack's vision is gone, just like Topher and Jack. I still prefer it to the pool area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 16, 2023 Author #211 Share Posted November 16, 2023 The other change I noticed is more marketing for the "local shops" between the pier and Jack's Shack. There are still a number of unused beachside buildings in the locals shopping area and more of them have moved to the shore. I hope someone opens something along that stretch that is more like Jack's Shack used to be. Going there now for the first time, you wouldn't know what you're missing. You wouldn't even know Topher even existed. 😶 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We plan to go there Monday but I am hesitant due to the change in owners - we loved the old Jack's Shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a guy carrying a metal bucket with beers from bar to lounge chairs on the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain. I always wrap a towel around or through the hangers to stop them from banging into each other and the sides of the closet. And I have gone as far as stuffing toilet paper or squares of paper into any "creaks" I find in my cabin or balcony including the balcony dividers. Can't sleep with that kind of noise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted November 17, 2023 Author #218 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Lido deck food is hit or miss and today struck out, even the 80% fat brisket. Only the wonton soup was really yummy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfone Posted November 18, 2023 #225 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Enjoying your review. We will be on the legend again in a few weeks. Last minute booking. We agree about Jacks shack is definitely not the same vibe, but better than M-ville in our opinion. Enjoy your last day. Hey, can you find out if the house band will still be onboard next month?
