Grand Turk vs Amber Cove

[Kellyann]

At Carnival's Amber Cove there are carts to get you from ship to Cove, do they have something similar at the G.T. dock?  If you've been to both, do you think the walk is as far in G.T. vs. the Cove?  Our stop last year to G.T. was cancelled because the dock was damaged in a storm, so I'm really anxious to enjoy their beach but walking too far is an issue. Can someone comment please.

GT pier is definitely not as long as AC. There are lots of YouTube videos showing the cruise port, also photos on their web site to give you an idea. The beach is right there, however, an early arrival is needed to score a decent spot close in, especially with 2 ships, which is common.

Haven't ever been here thanks for the link I see another Carnival ship is in the same time as us in Sept. Would yoh know anything about the Duck Boat tours, not on the list on this link? Do we stay dry on the water portion would you know?

Thanks again for your post.

No, I've not taken that tour. 

The water there is beautiful, so I treat it as just a beach stop. You will need water shoes, tho. It's rocky in areas. 

There is a stand about half way to Jacks for cheap and potent rum punch.

Not to hyjack the thread but i'm interested if there is anything thing else to Grand Turk other than go to the beaches. Is it a nice town?
