Betico Day

[topspot]

I just found out on my roll call that we will be in Aruba on Betico Day. Does anyone know:

a. does the bus system run on this holiday?:eek:

b. does the schedule change?

c. does this mean Baby Beach will be more crowded?

 

Thanks

January 25 is a national holiday.

I am guessing the buses will run on a Sunday schedule.

The bus will not take you as far as Baby beach.

Baby beach will have more locals in that they will have the day off for the holiday.

I am on the same ship as Topspot! Does this mean many of the stores will be closed? How will shopping be affected?:confused:

[Arubalisa]

Stores may or many not be open for cruise ship(s). Tours will operate.

Thanks for the quick response Arubalisa, I knew you would know the answers. I knew from reading lots of posts on CC and info from another Aruba board ;);) that you would have the answers

:) ;) On a cruise you will have the chance to shop in other ports. Imo, the prices are fair at best in Aruba unless you are from outside the U.S. For example South Americans find Aruba shopping to be a bargain, especially for name brands. ;)

 

Maybe take an island tour or head to the beach? :confused: :)
