Oranjestad, Aruba Port Q&A

4.4
Need to know for several ports. What are cabs like on this island. True taxi cabs like on Cozumel, or more like many buses on set routes like in Cayman? (Don't want to end up in some far off beach with no way back) I'm assuming there is no Uber or Lyft. And, do they operate into the evening hours?

Aruba has a free downtown tram loop that has a stop at the Port. Otherwise, there's cheap bus tickets to go all over the small island. There's a stand near the port with all the bus info.

We went up near the lighthouse to find an out of the way beach. A cab cost something like $40 but the local bus cost us about $1.50/pp. You can buy an unlimited daily bus pass. At the time it was about $10/pp per day.

That has got to be some stressful planning. As much as you get around I'm sure you will do fine. Have safe travels

Thanks Mary. This one is a bucket list cruise, and unusual as well. Fly into Panama City to depart and then finish in Colon after the transit and five Caribbean ports
