We did not see any of the area from the ship docks and did not do excursion. People who did do the excursions said the country was beautiful. Will do excursion next time.

Oranjestad, Aruba

Port was nice. Excursion was okay, but the guide was the bus driver. He spoke more about his own experience & not enough of the area. Would have been better with dedicated guide.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

There were no porters available as they were still unloading luggage. We stood in long lines as there were only a few custom agents working that day. Worst experience we ever had as we pushed 5 pieces of luggage to custom area and to hotel shuttle.
