Grand Turk is an island that is part of the Turks and Caicos Islands, which are part of the British Overseas Territories. The island is a popular destination for Carnival Corporation ships. We visited the island five times between 2014 and 2018, and returned for a sixth visit aboard the Carnival Legend in April 2022. In this video, we’ll provide an updated overview - and some new tips - for your visit to Grand Turk.

I went there April 10 on Carnival Venezia. Rented a golf cart and drove around the island. Was somewhat disappointed with the island. Other than the cruise port which was built up for the cruisers. The rest of the island looks very poor. There were many buildings which looked dilapidated. Groups of feral dogs and donkeys roam all over the place and roads. There were donkey poop everywhere. Everything looks old and broken down. There was a quarry near the downtown area. Which was very dusty. Some of the salt flats had rancid odors and the water was stagnant. Some of the locals couldn’t understand English ( maybe they spoke pidgin English). The beaches were nice but some had coral reef in the bottom so it was dangerous to swim in.

So happy you have updated videos! Thank you!

As always, wonderful. Keep up good work.

Your videos are wonderful!! Thank you so much! I'm crusing in Feb 2024 for the first time and your videos have helped me know what to expect at all of our ports of call. I think my trip will be so much better than if I went in blind, not knowing what to expect. I'll be checking out your website as well. Thanks again!!

Thanks for the update. Was there once before and will go again next year. Nice island!

@davidhoffman8122 Год назад

Over the years we have been at Grand Turk 7 times. My wife really LOVES the beach. We bring our OWN floats for a very nice relaxing day. We go to Jimmy Buffet's because the pool is very nice and I am NOT a fan of salt water. Yeah, go figure!

@ebonyepisodes197 Год назад

Their water has a lot of rocks in it too.

@billiejones8788 Год назад

I understand the saltwater. We live in Florida and I would take a pool over the beach any day. Does margaritaville have lockers and lounge chairs?

@davidhoffman8122 Год назад

@@billiejones8788 I am not sure about the lockers since I have never seen them and we always have a water proof backpack with us. Margaritaville does have lounge chairs but if you wait to long or there is more than one cruise ship in they are normally ALWAYS full.

@barryteghtmeyer5466 Год назад

We love Grand Turk and have been twice. Headed a third time this summer. The Home Sweet Home excursion on Carnival was fantastic.. but they no longer allow kids. So, we had to opt for a different excursion.

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

Hope you enjoy your visit this summer!

@christalarmstrong300 Год назад

great video! you mentioned the drink packages did not carry over onto the island. is that the same for food? any complimentary lunch? thanks.

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

Unfortunately, there is no complimentary lunch either. Hope this helps!

@shericemiller8098 Год назад

Does anybody know if the horseback riding in the water is still an available excursion?

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

We have a couple of cruises coming up and those cruises are not offering horseback riding excursions in Grand Turk. There are some 3rd party options available that you can find through a web search.

@kayanncampbell6322 7 месяцев назад

Do Jamaican need a visa to come there

@cherrone86 6 месяцев назад

How much were the golf carts to rent? We will be there in July so I'd like to have a heads up if possible!

@TheJellyBeans 6 месяцев назад

We paid $100, plus a few dollars more to fill up the gas at the end of the day. Looking online, the prices seem to be about the same, depending on what you want to rent. They may charge more the day of your visit if you don't have a reservation. Just search "grand turk golf cart rental" and you'll find the places that rent.

@AA-eh7co Год назад

Can you go to downtown with the golf cart?

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

Absolutely! In fact, we rented a golf cart during one of our previous visits and wandered around the island. We made a video about our experience: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bPPvrVeeyY8.html

@BlackIsBeautifullyMe Год назад

Can you get off the ship there If you are not Vaccinated ?

@uba51 Год назад

You can as of 4/1/23!

@chaunteay1296 Год назад

Do you need a passport to get off the ship in grand Turks ??

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

No, you do not need a passport to visit while on a cruise. You just need to bring your ship's card and it's recommended that you bring your vaccination card.

@mjsnow9413 Год назад

Are you sure about the passport? My travel agent said that we need one

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

@@mjsnow9413 If you're visiting via cruise ship and staying within the cruise center area (what we show in the video), you do *not* need a passport to visit Grand Turk. We just visited on two separate occasions in December and never had to show our passport. Also, nobody we traveled with had to show documents either and we did not see any of the hundreds of cruise passengers leaving/boarding the ships show any passports. The only time it would be recommended that you take a passport with you is if you're exiting the cruise center area to explore the rest of the island, such as renting a golf cart, etc. You would want your passport then in case of accident, etc. Hope this helps!

@nicole21703 Год назад

How much are the clamshells

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

During our visit, prices were not posted, but we heard the vendors saying they cost $30.

@nickmaa5113 Год назад

Do you have to show proof of vax?

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

According to Carnival's current protocols, unvaccinated guests 18 and older will have to remain on board. You can check the Carnival website for more information and current updates.

@drbones3rd Год назад

did you have to show your vaccine card in order to visit Grand Turk? Carnival states anyone over 18 must provide proof of vaccination to visit Grand Turk. Does not look like there is any type of entrance security.

@TheJellyBeans Год назад

Everything is handled by Carnival, not Grand Turk. You will need to provide proof of vaccination to Carnival. If Carnival does not have your proof of vaccination, they will not let you off the ship at Grand Turk. Our Jellybean's proof of vaccination got mixed up during one of our cruises and we could not disembark until we visited the Medical Center and got them to fix the clearance.

@drbones3rd Год назад

@@TheJellyBeans thank you. That stinks
