Review summary

Weather was great and the beaches were great except in Aruba. I was very disappointed in Aruba.  It has become to commercialized and corrupt. 

Be careful when you're out and about.  All the public beaches charge you 

for chairs, umbrellas, shade, restrooms and whatever else they can get from you. The water is gross and cloudy. 

taxes or no taxes.  Inquiry minds want to know.  Check your bill and challenge the taxes...I will not go back to Aruba.

Big balcony , room was clean and modern. This ship has a place by the door you need to put your room card in so your lights will work .

Ship tip

There is a library, it's in the exploration cafe 12 floor. Forward elevators only go up there.

Many beaches charge for chairs, umbrellas, etc. They cost money, someone has to buy and maintain them.

Wow, we love Aruba! We were at Eagle Beach last November. They do charge for chairs but it is usually 5 dollars. The water was so clean and beautiful. Never saw anyone give it a bad review before, sorry that you did not like the Island.
