Cruise 2012 Page 3 of 6 Welcome to the Carnival Fantasy! Day 4: Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos. A view back down the cruise pier, showing the Holland America ship Westerdam in port with us. Welcome to the Grand Turk cruise center! It's booze. How can you not pose with huge bottles of booze? A fountain! In Grand Turk! That's gotta add some cool points. The private beach area. My first thought was, "Who took out all the sand and replaced it with this powder stuff?" :D Ships. Water. Sand. Beach. The feet are officially on vacation. Diane returns from a recon mission, reporting that the swimming area is actually rather rocky. Chillin', post-swim. The beach is rocky, but it was kinda nifty to be able to see all the way down to your feet, and swim right next to some sizeable fish. Apparently, Grand Turk is connected to the splash-down of a Mercury mission capsule. So, we took a photo. We stumbled across a Diamonds International, which can be found in great quantity in every port of call, and redeemed a coupon for a free "Di" charm bracelet and charm. The lady actually gave us two and told us to keep the coupon. Nice. Diane discovers Disney products that change color in the sunlight at Del Sol! We are two wild and dizzy donkeys. Yeah. Back on the ship at dinner, Diane takes her final bite of tiramisu!!! Further still from the edge of the bed, a demonic... rabbit? The whole gang rocked some Superstar Live karaoke, where you sing with the live band. Diane performed "Bring Me To Life". I brought a little "867-5309 Jenny" flavor, then we duetted some "Summer Nights". * Continue the Cruise Adventure... * Return to the Photos page!
