Creator's Key Takeaways

San Juan which we have been there yes and our first time there is great was awesome honestly it's a u.s. territory so it just has that familiar feel to it

Grand Turk is beautiful it's awesome it's great beach there is a little bit right right nice beach about circuit about the Margaritaville is our favorite part

we decided well our time would be better spent on the ship yes so we can enjoy the amenities there so we actually stayed on the ship of San Juan

bring your wallet because it's not cheap if you're gonna be there and you're gonna put on drinking and eating I would plan on a hundred dollars at least

Plan for at least $100 for food and drinks at Grand Turk's Margaritaville
