I seriously would suggest getting a lower mid section inside room for your friend. My friend has vertigo and I would never put her in a balcony cabin.

we rented a golf cart for the day toured the island, went to the conch farm, which was interesting , saw the sites and went to Jack's and Janet's shack, enjoyed our visit with them. Love grand turks hoping to go back there some day

Could you please tell me where you rented a golf cart? I heard that Nathan's is now closed.

Interesting answers and very enlightening ,too! Since I have never had a suite, I was not aware of the many jobs the concierge or the butler are able to do for you. Since this is my first penthouse suite I have ever experienced I am glad I found out more about the different jobs the concierge and butler can do for a passenger. I will tip according to how much I may use of their services.

To be honest, I'm having a hard time figuring out just how much they really are useful. I believe in giving my waiters and assistants good tips, as they physically work so hard to please us as passengers, but I just read where the concierge and butler expect gratuity , also. I can't imagine paying already thousands more for getting that service per person and then turning around to tip them more. I am just as able to make phone calls as they are. I guess for a butler they may do some special things you want them to do, like get your clothes cleaned or pressed but I just don't think paying soooooooooo much more for their service and then tip then also is worth it. I hope I am not taken wrong...don't want to start WW3 lol!! Maybe if I am more enlightened to just what they do I might appreciate the extra expense. Be easy on me now as I truely believe in tipping!

My husband sang me some of the words of the Oceanic Song, which he believes is from the Fabulosi band. It went something like this...

Oh, Oceanic ship, tu si bella, bella, bella

Oh, Oceanic ship, never, never, never will I forget

Good-bye, farewell, au revior

Good-bye, farewell, arrivederci

Oceanic, bye bye!

Does anyone else remember this song?

Somewhere in our basement we still have the album from the Fabulosi band. (33 1/3 record)

Yes that ship had character...

We went on that ship about 5 times. My husband still remembers the order of the decks on that lovely ship: Sun, Lido, Belvedere, Riviera, Continental, Restaurant, Atlantic, Oceanic. He remembers it from the acronym that he memorized over the years: SLBRCRAO

I remembered them so much!! I always sang to my self a song that I know I got the wrong words to but it was something like.....OHhhhhh Oceanic ship , du te bella du te bella , la la la la la la la! LOL It was THE best ship ever and I have been on at least 20 cruises since then! I think maybe we were all younger then and more spirited!! I believe also that was one of the 1st ships to have a magradome over the pool area.
