Shopping, bars and restaurants.

They have a new park along the ocean that is within walking distance of the port (Linear Park).  Here is some information from Fodor's (2016 date): https://www.fodors.com/world/caribbean/aruba/experiences/news/photos/new-things-to-do-in-oranjestad-aruba

It has been many years since we were in Aruba.  Does the port usually have more than one ship docked? 

Is the port area easily walk-able? 

The link above talks about a free trolley for 9 stops starting at the cruise port.  Has anybody tried this?

You may have already read my previous post...but if you haven't...yes, there's a free trolley with a stop right outside the cruise terminal.  It is very popular with cruise passengers (heck! it's free) and there's often a long line.  Best to let other passengers who have difficulty walking or are disabled to use it.  Walking around town is fairly easy.

Happy Sailing!
