    Curacao -- Your Opinion

    If you wish, PLEASE give your reasons. They could be helpful to those who haven't been and are considering going.

    We enjoyed both Cruacao and Aruba. The whole feel of the island is different from the Caribbean islands farther north. The Dutch influence is very refreshing.

    The most spectacular night skies can be seen sailing away from these islands! Totally clear skies look like black velvet with millions of sparkling diamonds all the way down to the horizon all around you. Breathtaking! I would sail down there just for the night sky!

    Certainly, it's a great place to spend a day in town and do a bit of shopping.

    Once, we took an inexpensive snorkel tour offered by the ship (just to do something different) and it was amazingly good. I just jumped off with my swim mask and still saw tons of colorful fish. Do wish they would offer more "water related" activities ....

    Curacao - another great port!!

    We really loved it when we docked inside and had only a short walk into town. Have done quite a few tours there. Don't go to the beach unless you have water socks -- very stoney.

    Also used to love it when Curacao had fireworks at night when HAL ships left there.

    I love Curacao. I enjoy the stores and the beach. It is one of my favorite ports.

    Docking in the chanel was much better.

    We also enjoy Curacao, one of our favorite islands too! Love the colorful houses along the river as you pull in, another place for great pictures.

    Love it

    We loved the snorkeling on Curacao, We booked the half day snorkel excursion with Curacao-Actief and got a little island history lesson in it too. But you are right about needing aqua socks, the beaches are coral and sharp, at least to my tender feet.
    Have a GREAT day! Gayla

    Curacao is another port we have never had the pleasure of visiting. Maybe one day . . .

    Has anybody been to Curacao lately? It's such a beautiful and interesting island. For a day-trip-cruiser, though--so much to see--so little time. If you are a diver or snorkeler, it's a dream come true. For me--the culture and architecture were amazing. Looking forward to another visit.
