Carnival Vista Day 5: Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos

Posted by on December 3, 2023

Marlene stayed in the casino until 5am. She lost, but not much. I got up around 8 and went to breakfast by myself, figuring she would be asleep until noon. But she surprised me by joining me in the buffet before 9.

The Vista from the beach on Grand Turk

This was the last port day for the cruise: Grand Turk. Once again we did not leave the port area and it was similar to the port area of Amber Cove, but without the 56-ounce drinks. And the souvenir prices were higher. We didn’t stay long.

One thing that Grand Turk had that Amber Cove didn’t was a beach, right at the end of the pier. If we had been in a sunning/swimming mood it would have been a good place to hang out. But we didn’t.

We had lunch back on the ship and then took a nap.

Dinner was elegant once again. Marlene was beautiful, as always, but I dressed down – just a tie, no jacket. The food at dinner was disappointing. The lobster tail was chewy and the prime rib was tough. It is difficult to have a prime rib that is hard to cut, but I had it this evening.

The evening show was a “VIP Show” which was a musical revue in which the performers went into the audience and picked people to include. It was pretty entertaining.

After the show we spent a lot of time in the casino, leaving at 4am. But it was productive: I won $225, leaving me up $2,575 for the cruise.
