mattR Posted July 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2019 There will be three ships in port the day we will be in Aruba is that a busy day or normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatteras51 Posted July 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It will be very crowded. I've been there many times when there have been 3 ships in port. Sometimes there are 4 ships in port and then it is total insanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an official Aruba port schedule you can find here: http://www.arubaports.com/main/cruiseship-schedules/ however they don't seem to publish the schedule in advance of the current month. I use cruisetimetables.com for any port but it's not official and it's wrong fairly often. Others use cruisett.com but I find it to be even more inaccurate than cruisetimetables .

GaTravelingMom Posted August 4, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Thank you! Our cruise is not for a long time, but it was interesting to see what is projected. Like our day in Aruba looks like a 3 ship day! Sounds like it might be chaos - so I need to plan well in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember where I found this one, but I like it better than the other ones I've visited: https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/oranjestad-port-452 Hope this helps....and you're not already back!

cb at sea Posted November 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2019 3 ships is nothing...there are a TON of land-vacationers there at ANY given time. The ships are a minor part of the tourism that Aruba hosts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a yearly land vacationer to Aruba, and also someone who has been there on a cruise, I can attest to the fact that the island is definitely much more congested when 3 or more ships are in port.
