Good news, the port at Grand Turk will re-open in October. The Turks and Caicos islands were hammered by hurricane Ike causing extensive damage to the island of Grand Turk and the cruise facilities there. Luckily, the pier itself was not damaged and the repairs to the rest of the terminal complex is estimated to take about 30 days.
Carnival Corp., who owns and built the cruise center, will return with the Carnival Destiny on October 8. Carnival will also be extending a helping hand to shore excursion operators on the island to help them recover from the storm. They will also be running excursions allowing passengers and crew to help out with the rebuilding efforts on the island.
