Kralendijk, Bonaire

2 out of 5

Nothing to do, not much security at all. Didn't spend much time off the ship

Thumbs Up 1

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5

Lots of security, good excursion to the aloe factory, baby beach and street art (though not much art and a waste of time). Good driver and beach was great except having to pay to visit the bathroom where you had to pay (it was filthy).

Sailing her in 12 days and I'm counting down like never before. I always meet kind people while cruising and it's been too long.
