Dock in Grand Turk as well, at a Carnival built and operated cruise centre.

Dock at all three. Did this cruise on Carnival about a year ago (where we also stopped in the DR). Loved all of the stops.

Not a whole lot to do in the Turks. Best to just hang at the Margaritaville pool/ocean which is very close to where the ship docks. The first time we were there, we took a Snorkel catamarian. The cat literally circled the ship. You could walk to where they beached. Second time we were there we took a local taxi to their "town". Very disappointing.

We loved Aruba. We took the in town bus to the furthest hotel/casino and found out that the casino's at the hotel don't open until after 2pm. So we hung at the beach. It was a beautiful beach that wasn't very crowded (most of the ship people got off at an earlier stop where the beach was crowded, etc.). We were able to come back with enough time to gamble in one of the downtown hotels.

In Curacao, we walked to the town and walked around. It's a shopping meca, so if you like to shop ...

Walk down the beach all the way to Jacks Shack for a real good time.

Hi Ed! Which island and at the end of what beach will we find Jacks Shack on? We always enjoy a real good time! :biggrin:

If you are going to Grand Turk Island when you dock (Carnival I take it) you will walk down the long dock and then Jacks is off to the leff about a 15 min walk.
