Grand Turk Cruise Port
• We arrived at 8AM on Friday morning in late Dec 2023 on Carnival Vista.
• Weather was a little rainy/misty but cleared up. It did stay fairly breezy/windy, but it was perfect to keep you cool in the sun and also any flying pests away.
• We went to the right when we got to the end of the pier and through the Dufry store. We researched the port before we arrived. Our plan was to snorkel. There were tons of rocks, and it was very low tide when we arrive. The wind and storms also created large waves which made snorkeling difficult. We were determined and got batted around by waves on the sharp rocks. We got a couple cuts but nothing too bad. I did it with my 14-year-old and 8-year-old. We did see plenty of fish of only 3 varieties though.
• We also found chairs right by the upside-down whale. It was perfect under the 1 palm tree there with no other people around us. It was perfect. Great view of ocean and plenty of sand for kids to play in and view of ship. Because of the rain/mist there was a rainbow over our ship. Super picturesque. See photos in review. We would probably do the exact same thing again. Many people went further down the beach past the metal fenced in area which also had a few chairs at. Not sure if it was worth it but it was nice down there too.
• We saw another cruise ship try to dock 2 times and finally gave up because of the winds. We felt bad for them, but it was great for us as the island wasn’t crowded at all.
• We did end up going back to the ship around 1PM because we were hungry. We did do some shopping and the shopping here seemed nicer than Amber Cove. Much more variety of stuff.
• We would gladly come back and probably do the same thing again. Hopefully we could time it out so the tide would be higher or cross fingers and hope there was less wind with smaller waves so we could snorkel more.
