Velvet Layover – Grand Turk from Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

4 nights, 1 port, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Fort Lauderdale on December 30, 2027 and visits Grand Turk Island. This one is as much about time on the ship as it is about the ports. 2 days at sea, so get comfortable. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. As for the ship itself, Jewel Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Good for anyone who can't take two weeks off but still wants the cruise experience. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
