Ship tip

Don’t expect much. Service and food was mediocre. Stayed away from buffet. My daughter and I got food poisoning last night of sailing from a specialty restaurant.

Beautiful water, city not so beautiful. I had higher expectations. Shopping was very overpriced for very cheap items. Baby beach was the highlight. Nice calm beautiful beach for families.

Loved going around on golf cart from Bonaire Crusiers. Book early on FB page. Disappointed on timing at port. We were there so early and left so early. 6am-12:30pm. Could not see the beautiful colors of the salt mines and blue water because the sun was still coming up.
