SusieCruisie Posted June 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think this may just wind up being my favorite port!! Thanks for sharing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVScooby Posted June 28, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Just watch out for the mosquitos. We had several days of itchy remembrance of our stop there. ;) Margaritaville is beautiful and has a huge and wonderful pool. It just sucks that we both got about a half dozen bites each. And I thought I was swatting them ALL in time! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVScooby Posted July 2, 2006 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Here are a few 'panoramic' shots of Grand Turk from atop the Crown Princess. Sorry if they are not in order... http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AYuHLho2cM38A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzski Posted July 3, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Thanks for the photos all, and the advice about the mosquitos LVScooby... I've got a daughter that's allergic to mosquito bites, so I will definately pack some spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyes Posted July 5, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Scott---is the first picture by any chance Governor's Beach...I think I can see chairs and maybe a dock? Several posters have said it is about 3/4 mile from dock, so I thought this might be the beach...just trying to get an idea of what we want to do in port...really like to be in the water and snorkel....

LVScooby Posted July 6, 2006 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Blue Eyes, I am sorry, but I do not know the answer to that. We spent a couple of hours at Margaritaville and got back on the ship. Hopefully someone else here can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieCruisie Posted July 7, 2006 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi, someone posted that the beach at Margarittaville is not clean on the bottom. There were rocks and slime. I would just like to see if anyone has experienced this, as I was so looking forward to spending my day here. Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would like to know how clean the water, and ocean bottom is at that area. From the pictures it looks wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathe Posted July 12, 2006 #13 Share Posted July 12, 2006 The water at the cruise port was clear as possible there was some seaweed as you entered the water but not slime.The entry to the water was a breeze as was getting out.I have knee problems and it was easy..In the water there were a lot of interesting fish.Counch to be picked up at will,none of us kept them as they were still alive ,lots ,I mean LOTS ,of sand dollars and a a very friendly sting ray who joined us and stayed-our own personal "swimming with the stingray".The only problem is the sun is very strong and sunburn very easy ,to my misfortune,to get.We had a great time.As I have posted before GO NOW as Grand Turk will not be off the beaten path for long.Kathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Eyes Posted July 12, 2006 #14 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks Kathe for the info....living in the deep south....we use lots of sunscreen daily....it is very intense and I think people forget.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_n_Sandy Posted July 16, 2006 #16 Share Posted July 16, 2006 As I have posted before GO NOW as Grand Turk will not be off the beaten path for long.Kathe I think it will be off the beaten path for quite some time. Check out http://margaritaville.com/grandturk.php. According to that web site, the port was opened by Carnival Cruise lines. If you check the grand turk website and go to the schedules, only Carnival & Princess ships use the port. Seems like a totally controled environment. Might signal a trend the other lines wilol follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green4me Posted July 18, 2006 #17 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Holland America line (owend by Carnival) also stops there. We will be on the Zuiderdam in December. Looking forward to my free margarita:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCCM Posted August 13, 2006 #18 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Host Caroline, the pictures are beautiful. Looking forward to going. I have two questions for anyone who has been. 1. Are there children/families in Margaritaville area (pool or dining)? 2. In the cruise center is there anyone braiding hair? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayeo Posted August 13, 2006 #19 Share Posted August 13, 2006 There were many families with children there last week. I thought it was more like a spring break for college on the side of the pool with the bar in it. We took an excursion with our 13yr old daughter. We left our 19 and 21yr old son, daughter and nephews at the pool. They loved it. I did not notice if their was hair braiding. Hope this helps.

Elcruzer Posted August 13, 2006 #20 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks Caroline for the link to the beautiful pictures of Margarittaville. Is there an admissions charge? Never been to the Turks and looking forward to this port stop on our Oct. 9 cruise on Princess Crown but disappointed we will only be in port til 2 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayeo Posted August 14, 2006 #21 Share Posted August 14, 2006 No charge for this port. Only food or drinks or excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elcruzer Posted August 14, 2006 #22 Share Posted August 14, 2006 No charge for this port. Only food or drinks or excursions. Beautiful! So you're allowed to swim in that gorgeous pool for free? What about lounge chairs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayeo Posted August 15, 2006 #23 Share Posted August 15, 2006 There were nice chairs and umbrellas at the pool that we used. We just went to the beach to walk and swim but we didn't use the chairs. There were lounge chairs and clamshells on the beach.(you might have to rent the clamshells-not sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAT173 Posted February 22, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We were at Margaritaville Grand Turk in December and I ordered this drink but can't remember what it was, what was in it, etc. I know it was sweet/berry of some sort and was frozen and had a test tube of alcohol submerged in it. I've looked at the online menu and none of them seem to fit what I remember. I was thinking this drink was on a special card on the table (like a feature drink) but I could be wrong.

LAT173, Last April my wife had a strawberry margarita or strawberry something that looked like that and had the test tube of alcohol. Very tasty!
