    Southern Caribbean ports - which to avoid?

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    We have been to Curacao and Bonaire - and LOVED them as well .. in Bonaire we rented golf carts to zip around and go where we wanted .. they gave us a map and we went up and down the coast - stopping to snorkel in a few places -was FABULOUS - HIGHLY recommend (I think it was $90) - best excursion we have done .. Curacao - we took a tour from people in town selling them - took us to a few places to see liqueur distillery - and then showed us a few different levels of living and then on to a beach where there were a bunch of hotels and a lagoon to snorkel - the snorkelling was pretty good .. and there were options to eat and drink - and then the bus took us back to the ship .. we are going on Freedom of the seas in Feb 2019 - and are going to aruba, curacao, st Thomas and st kitts -- CANT WAIT!

    I'm interested in your review of the Curacao excursion. Thant's the one I'm leaning toward for my cruise in November.

     

     

    When my husband and I went on a cruise at the beginning of the year - we stopped in Curacao .. we actually walked into town and talked with couple offering a tour -- got our tourist stuff done and ran back to the ship to put in our room and then back out to meet the bus -- was far less expensive then the ship excursion -- I think it was $30 for both of us .. we took a bus and they showed us some highlights of city - stopped at a curacao liqueur distillery - and then stopped at some high point that overlooked the oil finery - and a bay - (drove through a couple different areas to show us different levels of living) - and then dropped us at the beach - where we did some snorkelling and sunning for the rest of the day - then picked us back up and took us to the ship .. was a great day ... sorry for the vagueness .. but it was well worth taking the chance and doing ourselves .. we felt very safe!
