CdnTraveler78 Posted March 13, 2017 #26 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Aruba: Eagle or Palm beach are amazing and 1 beside each other. Eagle has more activities on the beach, palm is more where the hotels are. This cost 14$ from docks to the beach on any cab expect 5-10$ for chairs and umbrellas. Bonaire great for snorkelling or Diving My favorite is Playa Porto Marie in Curacao, we've seen seahorses there in our dives, it's private and relaxing a bit of a trek 30 minutes from ships and about 50$ cab ride.

Earthworm Jim Posted March 13, 2017 #27 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks for this! Now a crazy question..... If we do the trikes in the morning will the beaches be really crowded int he afternoon? I did this years ago, so it's possible the location of the trikes tour has changes since then. But when we went it was only a short walk from the trike tours to a dead end road running between the Rui Palace Aruba hotel and the Hilton Aruba hotel. At the end of the road is the beach, and a beach bar on a pier. Yes, there were plenty of people but there is also plenty of beach and lots of room. And there was a taxi waiting for a fare at the end of that road when we wanted to go back, so it worked out great. But based on a Google Maps search, Trikes Aruba may now be further away. It says a 16 minute walk to that beach bar. Our walk wasn't nearly that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we cruised on Feb. 3rd, they were charging $5 for chairs & $25 for umbrellas. Ridiculous price for the umbrellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelblu Posted March 13, 2017 #30 Share Posted March 13, 2017 After a day at beautiful Palm Beach (Eagle Beach was too windy), we cleaned up and did the Kukoo Kunuku Bar Hop (with or without the dinner stop) on an open-air bus with loud Caribbean music, shaking our maracas. We stopped at several locals bars that were a lot of fun. Did this one twice; the second time invited a cute guy I met on the ship to go with us - ended up marrying him, lol. Depending on itinerary, many ships do not stay late. I remember years ago, when the Adventure & Serenade sailed we left at 1AM which was great. And still paxs, that overdid the booze, barely made it.
