familycruzinnewbie Posted August 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2017 i find that several companies in Curacao and Aruba have contracts with Carnival that require you to book a lesser tour at a higher price. I'm looking for some options that I can book independently. We did these stops on the Breeze in May 2014 and did the Iries east coast tour in Curacao and took the bus to Palm Beach in Aruba. We return on the Conquest in Early April 2018 9-4 in Aruba and 10am-11 pm to Curacao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micahs Grandad Posted August 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Aruba easy to get off the ship and find a tour company to take you around island for a few hours and even drop you off at a beach. Or take bus to beach. Curacao we once took taxi to aquarium and also to a beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannagonow123 Posted August 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2017 In Curacao, we took a tuktuk tour that was fabulous. Small motorized cars that went through the city with narration. I think it is a max of 4 people per car and really knowledgeable drivers. Probably the best city tour I ever paid for, and the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruzinnewbie Posted August 23, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thanks. I have been toying with either Jolly Pirates or Sonny Binns for Aruba. Trying to see if I want the longer west tour in Curacao or if we will just do a walking tour on our own and then some shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted August 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We wandered Curacao on our own. There's a cigar bar in the Rif fort area (I think) that had $5 mojitos - delicious. They had an excellent ventilation system, so it wasn't smoky or smelly in there. All the TVs showed were soccer games. They had a humidor where you could buy cigars or you could bring your own. I don't remember the name of it, but it was in a strip of shops - very new - probably the 1st or 2nd from the right end of the strip. There was also a restaurant on an upper level at Rif fort called Steak & Ribs that had a beautiful view of the ship all lit up at night. The food was very good as well.

Is1andDreamer Posted September 29, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If you like to Snorkel one place you will not see hardly any cruise people is the Blue Room. a good few you tube videos on it. we went by boat through https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/curacao/beach-hopping-blue-room-cave-snorkel.html and it is one of the very best excursions I've been on in the Caribbean except maybe Little French Key in Roatan.

babycutie Posted February 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Atvbuggytours.Com Great time in Curacao. Self drive and see lots of the island. See reviews on trip advisor. Thanks for posting. This is something I would love to do. Going on the royal princess this March! Do you know if they will take kids as young as 4 years old? I’ve sent them an email and still waiting for a reply.
