Not sailing from Aruba until 11 pm.What kind of entertainment do they have that night? Also,

[stipmom]

What  times are the shows?

This is on the reflection.

thanks

[NutsAboutGolf]

Night show will is 7PM and is repeated 9PM, will most likely be one night a comedian, one night a magician and the rest musicals...Also there is a nightly 8PM passenger participation like charades

 

If you're looking for something to do at night while in Aruba we always stay around the waterfront, many restaurants with great views of the water

[stipmom]

Thanks

Looks like show times have not changed since the last time I was on Celebrity in Feb 2020

 

Still wondering what kind of entertainment, if any,we will have before ship sails from Aruba at 10 pm

Most likely the Sky Lounge will have a DJ at that time...Also a longshot but it could be a night they decide to have a silent disco

Late departure may be accommodating Paz like us who go for dinner on Aruba at the Flying Fishbone Restaurant where diners can dine on the beach, toes in the sand or water, on a crescent bay or dine in another section of the restaurant where your feet are dry. DH & I love the magic but it is like a 35 minute cab ride one way.  Dining does not commence until 5 p.m. Food is fabulous!!

Thank you for this recommendation! Looks like they start dining at 4pm now...I may have to change my current plans...

Thanks dlh015!  I was quoting from pre-covid but we have an ABCs cruise coming up in the spring and earlier dining time may help. It is possible to make a reservation on the restaurant's website in advance of cruise (strongly recommend this since VERY popular restaurant; no charge if cancel).

For those who would prefer to skip the 35min cab ride each way, the West Deck is my favorite spot and is within walking distance.  I have local friends in the area and they say this is generally the only waterfront restaurant they go to in the "tourist" area, they usually eat far inland.  It has 4.5* on 4,5XX reviews

I've found that on Late Departures they usually carry out the normal schedule for dining and entertainment.   You may wish to consult the Celebrity App and they will list the activities and shows in the Daily Planner.   To see all filter on All activities as opposed to the default - Favorites

Thanks for that mention, that menu looks great.  Ready to get back to Aruba.

Generally on later departures or overnights, the dining times stay the same and sometimes the shows.  On occasion we have seen them hold only one show at night rather than two in these situations.  Lounge entertainment times are usually the same.  We've also had situations in overnights in Aruba where they kept the casino open regular hours (also in Curacao) which doesn't usually happen in other ports.

Iguana cafe, walk over the platoon bright turn left and it’s right there…it’s affordable good food but you’re there to people watch and watch the bridge open and close…Could just have a couple drinks there if you want to eat somewhere else 

[PelicanLvr]

Suggest a sunset dinner on the beach at "Passions of the Beach" located at the Amsterdam Manor Hotel on Eagle Beach.  You can probably be back onboard for the 9pm show....but we didn't rush back.

Hate when they arrive late and stay late.  Would rather get there at 7 and start our day. We usually rent a car and explore

on our own. Not much happening on the island after dark so it’s kind of wasted time to us.  But I see why they do it, the next port is 20 minutes away. Lol 
 

I’m surprised how many people eat dinner ashore.  We usually head back to the ship, as it’s docked right in town, have dinner then might get off to hit a bar or just stay on and enjoy the ship.  Food isn’t that important to us, not foodies, so ship food is more than enough.

For DH and I, eating ashore is trying new dining venues.  (We generally know what we'll get onboard). 🙂

I get it and we do that on other vacations.  For some reason it doesn’t interest us when on a cruise.   Have fun!

I’m with you. Love the food onboard and have no real interest in finding other food onshore, especially in a place like the Caribbean. Maybe I’d feel differently cruising someplace like Europe.  Also seems silly to me to pay all that money for nice meals and then go eat elsewhere. But to each their own. If someone enjoys it, then good for them.

Same for us. I have a hard time paying for a meal ashore when We’ve already paid for our meals on the ship. We have no problem hitting a local bar for a drink and snack though.
