Creator's Key Takeaways

we visited the island five times between 2014 and 2018 and returned for a sixth visit aboard the carnival legend in april 2022

the separation of the crew center's complimentary loungers and the locals offerings seem to completely eliminate the scamming we saw during all of our previous visits

we usually go to the beach on the right side or south side because we have a much better chance of finding a complimentary lounger

the grand turk crew center website is a great resource for learning more about the island

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring your beach towel from the ship and return it at the end of the day
โœ“Bring some water shoes if you're planning to spend time at the beach
โœ“Be aware that cruise line drink packages did not work on the island
โœ“Check the grand turk crew center website for maps, taxi fares, excursions, and ship schedules
