I read that the locals can be quite aggressive and that's not something I'm comfortable with. It's my vacation and I want to enjoy it my way. In addition, I want to see parts of the island, not sit on a hot beach all day and worry about my belongs.

I would like to see the island since I have never been there....more so than just the port area.

DH contacted a local island vendor and we now have a golf cart reserved for the day. Neither of us like the big bus tours and prefer to do things that reflect our interests and on our own time schedule. So, we're planning to head along the coast to a less crowded beach, one that has a nice beach bar and avoid the crowds.

I have read that's the best thing to do there.

I think 22 might be how many excursions are offered in Grand Turk.  It is not a big island.  We always just do a beach/Margaritaville day there right off the ship.  

I'm leaning toward that myself!

I'm cruising to Grand Turk in February 2020, and yes I know it's still early, but the lack of excursions listed for that port is frustrating!  For the longest time they didn't have any, then they went up to 12, then 24, and now it's down to 22.  Meanwhile, Amber Cove adds them quite often.  I know they have to work them out with the vendors but I have never waited so long to see excursions listed!  And never mind waiting for Faster To The Fun, lol!  I'm beginning to wonder if they still plan to make this trip....

I know, patience, patience!  Just frustrated.

Still checking twice a day for it to show up for Port Canaveral for my January 2020 BTB.  I only need it for my first leg, because i'll be Platinum for my second.  I thought it would have been available by now, but I still get the "We are still scheduling shore excursions for this port." message for PT Canaveral and Grand Turk.  Only Amber Cove has excursions listed so far.  Oh well.  I'll keep looking and waiting.  Thanks for the heads up, OP.  And congrats to those of you who were able to snag your FTTF.

I haven't yet seen it for February 2020 for Port Canaveral.  They do seem to be slow about getting the excursions for Grand Turk on this one, too.

 Hi,

  Another question.

 

I've booked 2 cruises in the last 4 months.  A Feb  2020.  And a Feb 2021.  I booked on Carnival's Official Site. 🛳🛳

 

FTTF was not & is still NOT being offered under the Home Port Excursions. In the past, I have added on FTTF at the time of booking. 

 

What's up??

 

Thank You,

🌻🌻

I'm also sailing in Feb. 2020 and have been "patiently" waiting for FTTF to become available.  I know it's several months away so I just keep checking daily to see if it shows up.   Okay, so maybe I'm not so patient!
