The posted itinerary from Princess for this specific cruise has us stopping at Princess Cays after Santo Domingo. However 3 other cruise sales sites have the itinerary down as US stopping at Grand Turk after Santo Domingo instead of Princess Cays. :whistle: Either stop is OK by me but if I did have a choice stopping at Grand Turk for a visit to Jimmy B's Margaritaville might get the NOD. :boogie: A BIG PLUS would also be that instead of a tender ride to shore its just a short scooter ride for maw & paw and Gramma Ann & Oscar if they wish to join in the festivities for the day. :biggrin:

Once upon a time..

... Einstein and red went to Grand Turk.. red suggested that we do more than get off the ship.. That we should go into "town" and explore further.

So we went into "town".. one road with a few small hut shops.. we looked further.

red.. not to be outsmarted.. suggested that we walk back to the ship, as that way we could at least tame in the.. ambiance of the place.

We walked and walked and walked. There was only more small dwellings, A small hut bar where we collapsed from the heat and had one beer.

Then we walked and walked and walked... All without seeing a taxi.

Finally red said that.. "IF we ever see a taxi, it is mine.. and I do not care how much it is."

Finally.... one appeared, it was actually going in the oposit direction to us. But beggars can not be choosers.. and lets face it, the island is not that big...

So we screamed, threw bottles.. begged.. OK.. I was the one doing all that.

Mercifully the guy stopped and when we said we wanted to go to the ship, he laughed and said we had been heading in the wrong direction.

Our savior let us off right by the place in Einsteins pictures.. and we tottered in, fell in the pool, then spent a lovely rest of the day there.

So if we go to Grand Turk.. I will ONLY go to Jimmy B's...

And thank you Einstein for never once saying that it was my fault, that I had got us into that mess. or any other negative saying. :thankyou:

So I am actually praying for this stop and not the cay.:cheer: as all the addicts will enjoy this stop..

We havn't been to Grand Turk, so that would be nice. I'll enjoy it which ever we do.

Like this idea very much E sure hope it turns out to be true. We have never really gone ashore at Princess Keys tendering just too much work the way Princess did it. Have never been to GrANd Turk so we would like this---any time we end up at Jimmy B's we have a good time. Ole

Its a toss up for me, as much I would like to get to Grand Turk (said to have excellent snorkeling and diving), Susie & I love going to Princess Cay (and HMC). A nice private beach day is heaven for us. Especially with a Bungalow at the end of the beach.

And at the end of the cruise, I think a stop at the private island is nice and relaxing. Except all the snorkel gear is still wet when it gets packed.

Good Point Mike and either way it still means we were on this 14 Day cruise. :boogie: If it is Grand Turk then the pool at Margaritaville just might be BIG enough for U to snorkel in as its supposedly the BIGGEST in the Caribbean. :whistle: Just make sure what fish U are looking at. :biggrin:
