Oranjestad, Aruba Port Reviews

Took a cab to Eagle beach, $15 plus tip. Rented 2 chairs and an umbrella, $50 plus tip. Still cheaper than an excursion. They had food and a bar. Water was blue, but had a drop, so be careful going in. Headed back to the ship around 2ish. Then a quick shower and change and headed back out for some shopping.

Our group loved Aruba. We caught a few taxis to Eagle Beach and spent the day playing in the sea, sun and sand. Ate some dinner at a restaurant/bar right there. Can’t remember the name but great food and service.

We rode a side by side around Aruba and boy was it nice! We got to see different beaches and we stoped at a lighthouse! It was all so nice. You can drive around and if there’s a beach most of the time you can stop! It was really nice here!

Amazing beaches. We did a public bus - all day pass for $10 per person and it was really good option to see the island and visit different beaches including the light house.

We went to Eagle Beach on our own. Absolutely gorgeous and the water was perfect!

Beautiful Island amd there was another Ship I Think was Grandeur of the Seas

Rented a Jeep and toured the whole island, what a great excursion, recommend this highly you’ll see it all and be able to take your time. And we got lost too so that was fun

I love this island! It's absolutely gorgeous! The beach is so clean, sand is white, and the water is so clear! We get off the ship and get right on the bus (there's a bus stop across from the port). It's $4 round trip to the beach. Take the bus till you see a major resort or restaurant! I remember getting off at senior frogs and then just walking through a resort to get to the beach! It's so gorgeous here!!

It was a nice island but to fully enjoy the Aruba "life style" you will need to spend more than 1 day there. The shops remind me of the Bahamas and it can get crowded at some times.

Visited Aruba on Feb 5/18 - Royal Princess We took a taxi to Eagle Beach - paradise!!! Weather was great & beach is beautiful. Wish I was back there right now!!! After our beach visit we did some shopping in town and a stopover at Iguana Joes. I love Aruba, it is such a great island and the people are wonderful.
