Creator's Key Takeaways

With traveling with young kids, we have found that going to the main dining room for breakfast is a much more relaxed atmosphere.

Beautiful day. Couldn't ask for a better day.

We were lucky enough to be able to catch the sail away from Grand Turk. It's super pretty when the sun is shining on that pretty blue water.

I think we quite possibly found the worst seats to view shows on the Marty GR.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Go to the main dining room for breakfast with young kids for a more relaxed atmosphere.
โœ“Get free beach chairs behind the rope at Grand Turk.
โœ“Visit the zero entry part of the pool for young kids.
โœ“Check the app for specialty dining reservations.
โœ“Avoid sitting on the benches near the center stage for shows.

Finding free beach chairs โ€” Look for chairs behind the rope near the lifeguard stand.
Cost of specialty dining โ€” First visit is free, then $8 per person after.
Getting towels on port days โ€” You can get them on deck 3 or 16, but information may be inconsistent.
