Yummy that drink sounds wonderful!! Thanks PORT ROYAL.

Congratulations!! Oh my what a nice day in the water on Barbados!! Nick, his crew, food and drink are great. Water around Barbados is absolutely beautiful. Well you don't have to worry about Barbados anymore.😎🌟🌟🌟🌟😎. Nice!!

What a crock of BS especially on your cruise vacation. Timeshare sale pitch in Aruba while you could be on Eagle Beach having a wonderful day?🤮 Tell them to take their "crock of BS" "day pass", they're 2nd grade timeshare sh!tshow and stick it where the sun never thought about shining.

Anytime PORT ROYAL!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I'm just glad I finally got to help you out, you give us all these great island tour tips, lots of them. Glad I could help. You'll enjoy your day on the CG, a wonderful day altogether. Great vibe on the boat great people lot's of fun. Hope all is well Todd

Hey PORT ROYAL!! The Calypso Girl, our CC group we sailed on her twice. Excellent experience all the way around. Fun crew Great food and drinks, snorkeling was excellent. Thanks!!

The Calypso Girl.

She can take a taxi. It sounded like she was traveling with Family. I always take the bus because it's cheap no stress and plenty of room. No crawling into the back of a 4 wheeled sardine can. City bus big seats many empty plenty of room to set your backpack down on. Very open no hurry. City Bus for me every time. 😎😎

Congratulations on your solo trip.👍 I've cruised the Emerald Princess on 5 separate occasions solo. I was trying to keep it a secret how awesome it is to cruise Princess solo especially the Emerald Princess. Nice isn't it!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟 Straight, gay, male or female all couples though. Very few singles on Princess Cruise ships I certainly hope it stays that way, but it's not though. Everybody's catching on. Princess is AWESOME solo. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Have fun on your next sailing. 🤜🤛

Wine pre-cruise been doing this a LONG time whether it's pick or delivery to your hotel Total Wines is the only way to go. I always ordered it online to be picked up on the way to the hotel from FLL. Your taxi driver will pull up out front you walk in show your ID(your wine order will be on the counter waiting for you), and your back in your taxi having a glass of Chardonnay on the way to your hotel. Total Wines delivers, if your like myself though, someone who doesn't fly sober and wants to have a drink of something when you land in Ft. Lauderdale ordering online for pickup is the way to go.

Trunk definitely has lockers. Nice locker room too plenty of room to change into dry clothes for the trip back over to STT. I always take a change of clothes when I head over to STJ and Trunk Bay. I can't do wet clothes from Trunk all the way back to Havensight. I take a change of clothes, before I head out into the parking lot and hop back in a safari van I change into dry clothes in the men's locker room at Trunk Bay. Very nice getting cleaned up for the trip back to the ship. Makes for a great day.

So you taking a "ship tour" to Magens Bay?🫤 If you have to concern yourself with what you're going to do with your bling and personal belongings on a "ship tour" while on Magens or Trunk Bay. You might want to consider doing something else.

Trunk Bay has lockers and they're secure, but I didn't use them for that. I kept my valuables on me my watch nice one I WEAR IT IN THE OCEAN. I don't think you're going to have a problem with your personal belongings. The lockers bathrooms and showers are very visible and not a lot of people going in or out. If you're swimming on Trunk you can see everything and your not far away from your beach towel and personal belongings. Trunk I've never been there when there were so many people I had to worry about that. When you get to either Trunk or Magens take the time to walk down the beach Magens is a huge bay. The further you go down the beach the less people, you have a nice spot of your own no problems. Same with Trunk just take a walk down the beach to about 3/4 of the way down pick you out a spot get your stuff laid out no worries. There's nobody down there especially on Trunk. If you use the lockers I can't see there being a problem. It's all very open. No worries have fun at 2 awesome beaches. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Your going to have another memorable time. So nice. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 That's a nice quiet itinerary, can't beat it. Have fun. Todd

That's so nice. I can't think of a better beach to take children too than Eagle Beach. I don't know how many ships will be on the island when your there but that will dictate how early you want to get to the beach either way whether it's getting there a bit later or the sand with the stroller I can't imagine either issue keeping you and your family from having a great day on the beach. Easy money. Water is wonderful, white powder sand beach, nice people. Vibe is super chill. Have fun. Don't forget the review when you get back. Btw I'm not being nosey but what other islands are you visiting if you don't mind me asking? Thanks Todd

About the stroller in the sand. Could be dicey but I don't know I don't think it would be too bad. The stroller really shouldn't be too much of an issue.

No no no no.😎 The bus will stop at the bus stop right behind Amsterdam Manor on Eagle Beach. Right behind it is the ramp down to the sand. That's where you get off. The bus stops there, there are a few stops on the way back. Can't miss it, no worries no hurries. It's very simple and low stress and cheap great reliable transportation on the whole island. SUPER nice people. I'm a tourist and they know it. When you get off the ship your going to go left through security and out into town. Straight to your left a bit walking out to the intersection from hell. The bus station is right across the street take your time no hurries just don't get run over trying to get across the street. You'll see the ticket office just walk up tell them how many you have in your family and you want to go to Eagle Beach she'll give you the tickets point you at the bus and go find you some seats which is never a problem. Aruba and I'm going to tell you something that someone else here should have said a long time ago. Driving WEST to the resorts is ONE WAY it's a big circle the bus stop for Eagle Beach is on the way back. It's not very long I'm just saying kick back relax in the bus no worries. When you get the bus back to the port it only takes 10 minutes really less. Listen don't ever take a taxi unless you're taking an island tour or something. City transportation is great never a problem. Your taking children to Eagle Beach. OMG that's so awesome. I see families mostly Venezuelan there all the time the layout is all family and if you drink and eat on vacation Passions kills it everytime. Have fun on your vacation, your good. No worries except crossing the F😡😡🤯🤯😡😡G street to get to the bus stop. If I can help let me know. Btw that bus ride to Eagle with all the stops is never more than 20 minutes and that's chillin. Lots of locals going to work mostly nice ladies who do housekeeping in one of the resorts other than that it's just you. Have fun.

I'm so glad I don't go there anymore. Magens the vibe from the time you pull in until you back get to Havensight. Other than walking down to the other end of the bay with a cooler full of beer and a couple Fatty's twisted up, everything else sucks. Somebody needs to figure it out. All chiefs no Indians, one of the nicest bays in the western hemisphere, one of the worst beach vibes EVER.

Keep leaning towards Iguana Joe's 😎😁😁😎. Fun place you can sit at one of the many tables upstairs or do what I do. I'm solo I go upstairs and sit at bar, start a tab order a Bloody Mary an order of Supreme Nachos and get the ball rolling. Iguana Joe's Menu is online. You can find it and see if it fits your bill. I guess for one reason or another you don't hear much about it here on CC, but when you're on Aruba, your ship leaves late and your walking around town and that place is PACKED, then you figure it out. The food is highly underrated, drinks are the bomb and I'm picky. Right across the street from the port, one of the best tickets on Aruba. Passions Beach Bar and Iguana Joe's. ,🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's the city bus. When you walk out of the security area and walk towards town, the bus terminal is on your LEFT-ISH at about 11o'clock across the street.Walk right up to the ticket window and tell the individual behind the glass that you and yours want to spend your afternoon at EAGLE BEACH. I think it's around $3 per ticket, very cost effective it's the only way to go, I think the ticket was 1 way. So to and from Eagle Beach roundtrip p.p., less than $7 total. Buses nice clean and open. When you get dropped off at the bus stop behind Amsterdam Manor it's on the way back it's a one way loop you come back towards the port, Eagle Beach and your ship are not walking distance but their not far apart either. I've never taken a taxi on Aruba always did the city bus or the Party Bus. If your waiting for your bus or taxi and the Party Bus pulls up. Hop on the Party Bus, you can hear it coming from 2 miles away. The guy doesn't charge a fee but he takes BIG tips.😉 Lots of fun, great music and he drops you off right there at port security. The city bus will pick you up right where they dropped you off behind Amsterdam Manor. Same spot, from the bus stop back to your ship will be about 10 minutes and that's pushing it. You just pull into the bus terminal and walk across the street to port security and your back at the ship. Hope that helps. Todd

"Operation Tropical Mindfall"? I LOVE THAT!! That's genius. I'll prolly have to take a raincheck"on the rum one" and sign up for "the weed one" though, which is just fine and dandy we me anyway. Thanks!! Appreciate you.🤜🤛

Iguana Joe's right across the street from the port. Major fun atmosphere great vibe, crew favorite, top shelf food and drinks. Great prices excellent location, you can Google Iguana Joe's Aruba Menu and go from there Basil Mojito's and Bloody Mary's are as good as they are in Crooners on the ship, furreal. Dinner and cocktails here on every cruise ship visit, dinner at Iguana Joe's there's no better way to depart and say goodbye until next time, to the island of Aruba.😎🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😎

Nope shouldn't be a problem. You know approximately what time you'll be showing up at Eagle Beach? I would have a definitive plan in place getting to Eagle and getting everything set up before you do anything else. Rent yourself two palapas side by side and you and your group can go and do whatever you please.

Sounds like a great cruise. Hopefully they're will be other solos on board you can meet. If not your going to have a wonderful time regardless. Especially solo. Please come back and give us a review. Thanks

Yes those little tents I've seen those, those are the only way to go, they eliminate any misunderstanding. Whatever it takes to keep the sun off a child's skin, taking a baby to the beach is a GREAT idea it just needs to be done properly and it can be. If I was a baby in a little sun tent with the sound of the ocean in the background. That's life.

"reserved reputation" that's very nice. I'm sorry about that. Your a very nice person you can tell it. Thank you.
