emory2001 Posted September 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I searched before asking and nothing with the word “schooner” even showed up, so of the Aruba sunset cruises (specifically Royal Caribbean excursions), does anyone know whether the catamaran one or the schooner one is better? The schooner one is about $20 more per person, but I can’t figure out why. They seem like basically the same cruise on different types of boats. Even if you’ve done just one of them, I’d appreciate your thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbug63 Posted January 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Bumping this. We sail in May on Allure and we're trying to decide between the schooner and catamaran sunset cruise. Pros and cons of both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCattleDog Posted January 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm booked on Explorer in Feb and had the same dilemma. The main differences I see, beyond the boat type, is that the Schooner cruise also includes appetizers and looks like maybe better cocktails.

eab Posted February 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2023 A year later and I'd also like to know the answer to this question. Anyone sailed recently to Aruba and been on the Sunset cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember seeing Red Sail Aruba on the boats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flvol77 Posted September 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 27, 2023 We did the Schooner one and it was amazing, we preferred it over a Cat. I would do either but given a chance with Royal or Celebrity try the Schooner one. IMO Interestingly enough if anyone has been to St. Martin and done the Spirt of St. Martin the schooner in Aruba is the sister to that sailboat.
