Our family visited Grand Turk as our port of call last year on Carnival Sunshine. We were there on July 17th. It was a family reunion cruise and there were 13 of us. My husband and I decided to rent 2 cabanas for our stay and we were so happy that we did.

By the time we docked (noon)and departed the ship (12:30pm), Margaritaville was slammed packed. There were no chairs to be had pool side! We were shocked that it had filled up in such a short amount of time.

We all made used of the cabanas for the whole day there. The day was extremely hot and it was great being able to have our own 'piece of real estate' to relax in, cool off, eat and drink comfortably etc. Everyone agreed hands down that Grand Turk was the best port of the cruise and that having the cabanas was the icing on the cake.

We are heading back on the Sunshine in August, and to Grand Turk, and sadly all of the cabanas are taken (and none by us :( I can imagine that it's going to be just as crowded and hot, so we're bummed about not having snagged one early enough, but I will keep trying everyday looking for a cancellation. If we aren't lucky enough to score one, it won't be for lack of trying. LOL

What a great way to start the New Year. My family is going on the Sunshine in July for our family reunion cruise and I am very excited. Please let us all know how your cruise goes and congratulations on the great deal.
