This will certainly will welcomed by folks who would like to go to Aruba and Curacao with limited time.

In the past, I think, the only way was a 10 Night from FLL or to leave from San Juan for a 7 Night.

Many with jobs can sneak that extra day in for an 8 Night ....

Yes, I'm sure this IS welcome news. It sure is an attractive sounding itinerary, isn't it?

As much as you love to snorkel, you're really enjoy Curacao!

We took an inexpensive snorkel tour thru the ship once (more for the sail than the snorkeling) and it turned out to be great! As soon as we jumped off the boat there were colorful fish right there. We just used swim masks since there was no real need to swim far out from the boat. Someone would have to be blind not to see lovely fish there!

Oh,, Lulu - that sounds just wonderful.I guess this port also needs to go on my growing 'must snorkel here before I'm too old' list. If YOU recommend it, I know it's got to be good!
