Freeport dock area is nice - a few cute shops and local food vendors. We did hte glass bottom boat tour. The glass bottom boat ride was a joke. The boat did not have a glass bottom, but 2x3 foot glass windows on a V-hulled boat that were 8 feet below where you sat. It was difficult to see out of the bottom of the boat even while docked. The tour was canceled once we got on the boat after it started raining heavily. Many of us on the boat were talking about getting off even before the rain started as we were not happy with the boat's set-up. There were seats for only about 20 people around the glass windows. We did get a refund from carnival. 


Freeport

On Grand Turk, we did the bike and snorkel tour. The bike ride was not physically difficult. The island has wild free-roaming donkeys, horses and cattle that leave piles of manure everywhere, and the entire town smells like a well-used barn. On a hot humid day the smell was intense!! There was still a lot of hurricane damage from a 2008 hurricane. The beach that we were taken to for snorkeling was just a mile up the beach from where the ship was docked. The beach was pretty, but had no reefs or fish to see in the water – very disappointing. We should have stayed at the beach near the ship or stayed at the Margaretville pool. There are plenty of interesting shops at the dock area to keep anyone entertained for several hours.

I had no problem doing this, my wife not so much - she averaged about two per day.I tried every day of the cruise to get a second reservation - but they remained booked up with no cancelations.
