jmf123 Posted April 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2015 To start with, (depending on when you want to cruise), RCI's Jewel of the Seas and Adventure of the Seas both offer southern Caribbean itineraries that depart from San Juan and sail to St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Aruba, and Curacao. You will also find cruises on other lines such as Carnival, Holland America, Princess, Norwegian, etc. that stop at Aruba. Our first cruise departed from San Juan and included St. Thomas, Tortola, Aruba, and Curacao- loved the itinerary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted April 20, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2015 RCI Adventure has a southern caribbean that includes Aruba we have done this itinerary on RCI Jewel last October and will be doing it again in May 2016 on the Adventure...it's a great itinerary.

Bonnie J. Posted April 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) We were supposed to stop in Aruba last month but couldn't. The seas were too rough, waves too tall. The harbor pilot couldn't get on board. We saw the pilot boat and it tried to get close enough but just couldn't put the pilot aboard. This is not a tender port. Yes that happens in tender ports but with close to 100 cruises we have never seen it where the harbor pilot could not get on board. (The harbor pilot brings the ship into the ports and all ports use them.) Edited April 20, 2015 by Bonnie J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 20, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2015 On a cruise, you are likely to be in any given port for only 6-10 hours...hardly a "vacation"....it's a nice way to "taste" Aruba...but if you want a true vacation there, fly!!! Spend a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 20, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Go to http://www.cruisetimetables.com and from the second list of ports (destinations) choose Aruba. Then choose the time you want to visit. It will tell you who is calling there, and their complete itinerary. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted April 20, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If you want an "Aruban Vacation" then we suggest you spend several days to a week on the island of Aruba. A cruise is only going to give you a day (at most) which is not really enough time on that wonderful island. There are plenty of decent resorts and all-inclusives on the island and there are also some pretty decent restaurants and night life. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downdie Posted April 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I agree with Hank, spend a few days in Aruba to see the island. But, if you really do want to cruise, RCCL,s Spanish line Pullmantur boards passengers in Aruba on the Monarch virtually year round for 7 night cruises.
