How to spend the day with 4 ships in port?

[Maggie4nc]

My DH and I will be visiting Aruba for the for the time in November.  We have just realized there will be four ships in port the day we are there. Is there any way to avoid big crowds when there are so many people in town?  We know it will be busy everywhere but if anyone has advice on how we can plan our day to avoid the busiest times and places would be great. 

We will be in port from 8am-11pm. We don't mind doing it DIY or with a tour, so all suggestions are welcome.  

Thanks!

The only way we have been able to avoid most crowds has been to walk-off the ship ASAP and either get first available taxi or bus (or walk), heading to our intended sights (area).
