  1. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good day. I am so excited for them that Jack’s is a staple of Grand Turk. 

     

    I just remember the days when there were 10-15 people there. Our first trip our kids were playing with Jacks grandkid, our kids were 5 or 6 and are now graduating high school.

     

     

  2. All great suggestions. 
     

    However, Jacks is no longer Jacks for us old folks. Topher has now passed and Jack sold to his partner and returned to Canada to watch his grandchild graduate.

     

    I visited with new owner on the last trip and we talked about the old days. The improvements are all great, but it is far from the “Shack” it once was.

     

    You can’t go wrong on a visit there and we will make it a point to stop in and say hello on each trip to GT.

     

    GT is one of my favorite ports.

  3. Dad shorts (cargo shorts) are fine. Carnival asks that you wear long pants on the formal/elegant night but some people don’t.

     

    I would say as long as you are not wearing pajamas you should be fine. 
     

    Enjoy your cruise.

  4. We were there in October. It’s lost a step since before Covid, but it’s still a great day. I’ve been to Nachi, Paradise Beach and Mr Sanchos. I prefer them in that order.

     

    I agree the frozen drinks are much weaker, but if you ask them to put in an extra shot I am sure they would. 

  5. We are a family of 4 and we’re on the Horizon last October. I enjoyed the ship, did not enjoy Jamaica and Grand Cayman. As you can see by my signature we are booked on the same ship and itinerary again. I am actually thinking of canceling the trip.

     

    Jamica we did the falls (not Duns River) and beach tour. The falls were nice the beach was way to far of a drive for a short time at the beach. 90 minute drive 60 minutes at beach. 
     

    Do I think Jamica is safe for tourists, yes if you use your head. Stay in tourist areas. Stay in a group. I would recommend a ships tour as opposed to going off on your own.

     

    We did this cruise as I wanted the kids to swim with the stingrays in GC.

     

    Would I do this trip again, probably not. Would I sail the Horizon again, Yes.

     

    I am not against Jamica and would not tell you to avoid it. It is just not my favorite port. I’m a tad spoiled as I have been to multiple ports.

     

    Horizon is a good ship and you will enjoy it, Jamica and GC are a good place to visit at least once. You will enjoy yourself and should be safe. For me, it’s just not a place I would go to multiple times.

     

     

  6. I just decided to wait til we got back. 
    I didn’t want to risk it since I would have to send the documents in. 
     

    I didn’t want to end up with nothing if there was a delay. 
     

    I’ll just use their birth certificate this time and renew after the cruise
