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

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).

Baltimore, Maryland
