Another Splendid Splendor cruise (with pics) 6/29/15

[Jamman54]

There are vendor stalls selling goods at the beach…..

 

 

 

Heading back to the Cruise Center. The Carnival Glory has now joined the Splendor in port…..

 

 

The entrance to the Cruise Center…..

 

 

The tour is now over. Patti said that this tour was not worth the money, and would not recommend it. The driver drove to fast, making it difficult to get any good pictures. In addition, the bus itself was dirty, especially the windows!!!

Patti is making her way through Margaritaville, on her way to meet me…….

 

 

The Margaritaville Beach Shop…..

The Margaritaville Beach Bar…..

 

 

The Grand Turk Weather Station…..

 

 

The Splendor and Glory docked in Grand Turk…..

 

 

Patti has found me!!

 

 

After a drink or two, I decided to take a stroll down to Jack’s Shack. Patti wanted to do a little shopping around Margaritaville, so we agreed to meet back at the loungers in an hour or so. I took the water camera again, and before heading to Jack’s I took some shots around the pool area. The Flowrider was in action now…..

 

 

There are people in the pool now…..

Thank you Jamman54 for yet another wonderful review!

 

Either you, or Patti captured an interesting photo (Margaritaville, beach shop) of someone looks like he/she is scratching their butt:D. Sorry:o

 

Lol, though, love your reviews, and I am still hoping to get to Grand Turk, in October. Look forward to the rest of your revew.:)

 

Per previous poster; yes looks like a guy. Surely no lady would do this, ha ha.

I'm really loving your review. How do you rent a cabana at Margaritaville? Can you do it in advance or is it first come first serve?

[Jamman54]

Thanks for reading. You can rent them in advance. They are listed in the shore excursions.

Jamman, do you know if Margaritaville Grand Turk has the drink/meal package? I remember reading about it somewhere, but now can't find anything on it and if it's available on Grand Turk.

I know that they have it, but I have never gotten it. Sorry, I don't have any details. Maybe someone who reads this could chime in. I will be back in GT next month so I will definitely check it out.

Another great review!!!

Another great review!!!

 

Thanks for reading!!

Once we got back to the loungers, we decided that we had had enough, and to head back to the ship. I really missed not having a cabana, as it is a great place to cool down between adventures, relax, and enjoy a few quiet drinks. I’m so glad that we have one for our upcoming Breeze cruise. This is the view looking down the beach as we made our way on to the pier…..

 

 

A catamaran returns to the excursion pier…..

 

 

Patti got this shot of the ships behind me…..

The crew is pulling in the gangways…..

 

 

 

The Splendor has pushed away from the pier…..

 

 

 

We are backing out of our berth…..

Goodbye Grand Turk, until next month…..

 

 

The beach is a bit emptier now that we are leaving…..

 

 

The Splendor is spinning around to head out to sea…..

 

 

I’m enjoying the sail away from Grand Turk from our balcony…..

Patti is relaxing on the balcony…..

 

 

We hung out for a little while, and feeling hungry, we went up to the deli for a bite to eat. I had the arugula, pepper, and mozzarella on a cibatta roll, washing it down with a Corona. Sooooo good!!!

 

Afterwards, we decided to head to the spa. We made our way to the Tepidarium, which is our favorite room in the spa…..
