Floating fish & veggie market in Aruba ?

[Orangefan]

In Curacao I went to a colorful fish,veggie and fruit market. In Willemstaad on the Waaigat Canal there are small boats that come in from Venezuela and other small islands that sell the tropical foods and crafts. Next to the floating market they have a modern set up to sell their wares also. It was a colorful and fun place to visit and take pictures. I am sailing on the Emerald 11/8/11 and we stop in Aruba. I can't find any information if they have the same set up in Aruba. If you have found one in Oranjestad , I would love to have more info and directions. Thanks !

To my knowledge, there is nothing in Aruba comparable to the floating market in Curacao. However, you can buy fresh fish from fisherman at the Barcadera which is past the airport.

Can you bring that stuff back on the ship with you?

What stuff?

We saw nothing like this when we were in Aruba.

As for bringing "stuff" on board, do you mean fresh fish? - NO

Do you mean fruits? YES

 

When you arrive back in the states, you cannot bring any fruits, vegatables, flowers off the ship.

There is no such market in Aruba as already posted.

I wasn't looking to buy fish , fruits or veggies but to visit the market. The

market in Curacao was colorful with the foods,fishing boats, people etc. I enjoyed the locals and got good pictures.

i know at night time there are "flea market" type booths.

 

(in the palm beach area they start about 6pm.) very nice hand made jewlery for cheap too.

 

 

 

(I know we cant take food home off a cruise-- I was wondering if you could take a local food to the ship and eat it before you got off)
