Joe817 Posted December 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 16, 2021 " "The Carnival Freedom arrived in Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, on Dec. 15, marking the line’s first time back to the port since resuming service. According to a press release, the 2,974-guest Freedom is on a six-day Eastern Caribbean cruise that departed Port Miami on Dec. 12, and featured ports include Half Moon Cay and Amber Cove." https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/26413-carnival-freedom-makes-line-s-first-call-to-grand-turk-since-resumption.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted December 16, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Yes, Grand Turk is open. However, it was said that Mardi Gras is unable to dock there due to size until they do some dredging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they drop anchor and tender or cancel their visit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted December 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I believe they have been changing the itinerary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted December 17, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hal ships were in this week as well. I can understand the need for additional dredging for the MG. Not really an anchorage type port , IMO, given the National Marine Park all around the island. Tendering would have be be by lifeboats. and the excursion pier might not be suitable for those to dock at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
