Creator's Key Takeaways

the aquatics life here wow it was amazing though there wasn't a whole lot of sea grass or living coral out here probably worn down because all the many visitors onto this beach

it did make it open up to see all the large fish swimming around your feet

don't miss out on this opportunity you don't need to have a full snorkeling get up to sit there and enjoy the scenery under the sea here at sunray beach

the strong current kept pulling us out to this abyss but when you got there you can enjoy the beauty of the dark blue sea

Important: Details on a FREE excursion of Snorkeling at the Grand Turk Cruise Center beach. Come join us on a morning of relaxing at the beach and snorkeling at the Carnival Cruise Line port. As for SNORKELING, swimming and taking in the sun at the Grand Turk Cruise Center , you can chill out for the day at SunRay Beach (part of Governorโ€™s beach) that fronts the Cruise Center with free lounge chairs, shade and clam shells (at a cost). Certainly, this is one of the nicest cruise port beaches in the region You will need to bring a snorkel and mask, but just looking at the fish, swim googles will work out just fine. You can find Mask rentals from $10 - $20 at the north end of the beach (by locals) or kid masks set up for sell in @ the Caribbean Outpost (souvenir store) for around $40. The Grand Turk cruise port is a 13-acre complex and is on the southern end of Grand Turk. The facility is called the Grand Turk Cruise Center. This port serves as the launch point for cruise ship shore excursions, and offers onsite gift and jewelry shops, restaurants and a spa, as well as the largest MARGARITAVILLE in the Caribbean with a large pool, a swim up BAR and load music to dance to. A favorite for many of the cruise passengers. There could be as many as three cruise ships are welcomed here each day. On this day, there were two (Caribbean Princess and Carnivalโ€™s Mardi Gras). Today, that was 7700 passengers at the port. _______________________Chapters _______________________ 00:00 - Howdy 00:40 - Grand Turk Cruise Center (port) 01:26 - Ship Envy and walking on the pier. 02:10 - No free Green Umbrellas 02:50 - Finding Shade on SunRay Beach 03:50 - Mask ans Snorkel Rental 04:06 - Location of the Underwater Canon (the site to see) 04:35 - North Beach snorkeling area pointed out 05:25 - SNORKELING Grand Turk port from the North Beach (left of dock) 06:05 - Queen Parrot (terminal phase) , Trigger, and Needlefish 06:42 - Caution: Strong current (rip Current) pointed out and explained. 07:30 - Schools of Tangs, Surgeon and Parrot Fish 08:40 - Under the sea and the whine of the cruise ship engines. 09:00 - Swimming with a school of fish 09:28 - Spotlight (terminal phase) and Queen Parrot fish (initial phase) 09:48 - Abyss and under water Canon (the deep blue sea) 10:42 - Spotlight Parrot fish (initial phase) 11:35 - Heading to the south beach to snorkel 12:45 - South Beach (right side of the dock) 13:05 - South Snorkeling explained 13:40 - King Helmet Snail 14:25 - Rocks (coral) and the Sergeant Major and Ocean Surgeonfish 14:45 - in water wrap up. 15:50 - Fearless Rambler's Comments 16:40 - Subscribe and signing off 16:55 - End Screen _______________________________________________________________ Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/fearlessrambler/ https://www.facebook.com/FearlessRambler e-mail: fearlessrambler@gmail.com _______________________________________________________________ #grandturk #snorkeling #princesscruises #travelvlog #cruise
