nononsense42 Posted February 18, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Our ship AOS will be in Aruba in the evening. I am wondering what we should do. I'm not interested in evening sails, but would like to do something. Any advice? We are 6 adults. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUNTDEBBA Posted February 21, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Was just going to start a thread with the same general question. We were planning on doing the bar hop tour but our ship departure changed from midnight to 8:00 pm and we are looking for something casual and fun. Sort of like a Carlos and Charlies atmosphere but not a chain restuarant. Any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikeechiquita Posted February 22, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2007 You can't beat Carlos and Charlies. It is so much fun there, I would recommend it to anyone there for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arubalisa Posted February 28, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Café Bahia Café The Plaza Carlos 'n Charlie's Aruba Mambo Jambo There are 2 casino in Oranjestad within walking distance of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUNTDEBBA Posted March 3, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yes Carlos and Charlies is fun and I have always had a good time going but like to try new things Lisa Your links sound interesting. If you only had a couple hours and one choice for your first trip to Aruba what would you select thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only had a couple hours and one choice for your first trip to Aruba what would you select thanks Honestly, they are all so close and within walking distance I might try to do my own bar hopping tour on foot. Otherwise I think Mambo Jambo or Cafe Bahia in that order if you are not interested in C & C's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUNTDEBBA Posted March 3, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Since they are that close bar hopping it is. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted March 4, 2007 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2007 My choice would be Cafe Bahia.... It's right next door to C & C's with a live band, no cover, and cheaper drinks. We also highly enjoyed the Choose my Name Bar (I think that was it) about 2 blocks further on the 2nd floor. They had an 8 piece Salsa band and lots of locals hung out there, too.

AUNTDEBBA Posted March 4, 2007 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Wow what great tips everyone. Can you see them from the cruise ship? From what I read we shouldn't be wandering around lost trying to find them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill and Jo Posted March 4, 2007 #14 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I highly recommend making reservations for El Gaucho Restaurant. It is Argentinian beef and will be one of the best steaks you have ever eaten. It was reasonably priced. We spent about $75 including tip with SEVERAL drinks. There is an very nice piano/cigar bar across the street that was quite enjoyable. Aruba is AWESOME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUNTDEBBA Posted March 5, 2007 #16 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Well as long as I can stumble back I guess I will be ok. At least the ships are a big landmark to walk towards;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, we were in Aruba on Feb. 16, 2007, and spent the evening at the Flying Fishbone Restaurant in Savaneeta. The Sunset was unbelievable, food was fabulous, ambiance could not be beaten. We had a wonderful post Valentine's Dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
