Grand Tueks

​Grand Turks 

Grand Turks today. Not much here to see except the sea. The square is full of souvenir shops and about 12 to 15 thousand tourists from two cruise ships.   The other ship is the Carnival party boat.   Those young  tourists have spread out on the beach and have filled the swimming pool in town square. 

   My honey lost her vaccination card and couldn’t come ashore. The cards are required for entry, even though Ron and I wasn’t carded. 

   About an hour is plenty for us.   It’s hot and about 300% humidity.   Grand Turks is the country that had stringent rules about importing dogs. Toronto would not have liked this heat and big crowds. I’m glad he got to stay at home with Matt. 

   Tomorrow is a sea day. We get to lounge around in deck chairs, have boat people bring us drinks and eat all day as we sail towards Grand Cayman and Jamaica.  

   Rhonda and Steve are on some kind of beach excursion today. As they are younger and have more energy, we wish them well!   After Ron and I return to the ship, we went into our individual rooms and cranked down the air conditioning temperature! Debby and Nancy are, either went for hot tea or gelato. May? I sit here in the cool working on my Facebook posts and updating my blog.

   As I said, tomorrow is a sea day. That means after cruising all night tonight we continue cruising all day tomorrow and throughout the next night. Sometime day after tomorrow, probably between 9 AM and noon, we should reach Grand Cayman Islands.

   We have rented space inside an air conditioned room called Sanctuary, with plush, cushy, lounge chairs on the forward upper deck. It is a kid free zone with thick, comfortable lchairs overlooking the ocean with a half moon view.  Reservations are required and it cost a little extra for this sanctuary room. Princess gave all of us veterans $250 onboard credit to use however we wish. I thought it was use it or lose it but someone said they received a check in the mail, during their last voyage of the remainder, they did not use on board. No matter. I am on endless vacation!  😎
