Grand Turk Cruise Center - Cruise #1 (Nov 2009)

After eight straight days at sea everyone was happy to see land.

The Cruise Center is a beach, a promenade and shops

Margaritaville and the beach

Margaritaville's beach, pool and cabanas

You don't think I'd miss a chance for a hug, do you?

This is Margaritaville Grand Turk style

Margaritaville Radio. The DJ will play your requests

The beautiful swimming pool at Margaritaville

A footbridge crosses the enormous double swimming pools

Margaritaville certainly has a relaxed atmosphere

There is a bar right in the pool

You can be in the pool and sit at the bar at the same time

Enjoying the bar and the cool waters

Junior Cervilla (balding with a pony tail) is an international
Tango dancer and popular among the ladies

The Crystal Serenity from the beach

The Emerald Princess arrives. This 3,200 passenger
supercruiser dwarfed the Serenity

We were happy to be getting out of town before thoudsands of passengers from the Princess arrived

The top deck of our ship, Serenity, is reflected in the windows above the staterooms of the Emerald Princess

WOW, that's a big ship

It even has staterooms across the stern

We much prefer counting guests in the
hundreds instead of the
thousands
